I have a customer who is not understanding perspective and wants a drawing to be more of an isometric (30 degree).  However an isometric is a forced perspective and has distortion in it.  Its all about Pythagoras and his theory.

 

Anyway, I am trying to tilt  my vertical solids so that they appear to be straight up and down, but can't see how to do that.  Changing the angle just rotates it on the x,y axis and I need to adjust the z axis.  I have also tried to adjust and rotate in the 3D drawing but that did not work either.

Can you change your solids into symbols, .. ?

 

Create a 'hidden sloped reference' of some sort, .. and edit the symbol(s) to slope with that reference?

 

(I would really like it if Softplan recognized the 'Z' axis for stuff like this)


.. invariably, someone will have a simpler solution.
