You can populate the view as you insert
it, or you can populate it later.
You can add Projected Views
to a predefined view. For example, if you insert a front view, you can
project top and right views to create a predefined Standard 3 View.
Projected views are automatically oriented and aligned to the original
view. The projected views act as predefined views.
