see the Z-axis? Please explain.

Also ensure your UCSICON command is turned on so you can see whether your UCS is rotated on not, about the only time you'll see "z axis".

LT is pretty much 2D only. You can open a 3d model but you can't make a 3d object. Similarly, you can switch to a front view but can't 3d orbit around an object, might want to check out fusion or full blown AutoCAD if you are planning on creating or manipulating a 3D object. The only plane you can sketch on is the xy, you can get tricky and move this plane up and down, but for the most part that is useless and will just cause headaches.

@lara_chemaliVJ923 Your screenshot shows you're still in 2D viewing mode, are you not familiar with UCS command and/or 3Dview options in your menu?
