I would like to find a way to change the orientation of what is being shown in a 3DCLIP window. Specifically, I want it to show in "Plan View" (Top View); then I can set the front/back clipping-planes to only show a small number of tall and narrow objects among many. I have already set the model space of the viewport in a layout to show in plan-view. But when I issue 3DCLIP command, its window shows the view in side-view. I want to know how to view it in plan-view.
Please note that I have never used 3DCLIP before. May be that is exactly how 3DCLIP is supposed to do? I don't know, and I hope not.
Please let me know how to change the initial view of a viewport in 3DCLIP window. Thanks in advance.
