Figure 1 - Planning a View Orientation

Before detailing a model by using MBD, you should plan the primary view orientations that will be utilized by the combined states to display annotations. The view orientations need to accommodate the viewing of text and dimensions on various 2-D planes, depending on the shape and complexity of the model.

Consider incorporating views for cross-section cuts which reveal hidden geometry and/or detail views to zoom in on small features.
