How do you set N)orth/Top as the Top view?

I am new to AutoCAD 3D and began drawing some walls for an imaginary building to see what I could do as I began finishing I noticed the top view/home view was the right view. I have tried fixing the orientation but to no avail. How do I fix this issue so that my top view is my TOP view?

 

The picture shows the "right view" as the top view, which is displayed as the back view, etc. In essence, I need to be able to hit the home icon and see the top of the building and not the left side.

You'll have to rotate & enter all to select the entire model so that the right view is now rotated to become your top view.

Hello @ktnalive 

 

Please type in the command "VIEW", select "TOP", "set current" and click "ok". I hope this helps 🙂

Please take a look at the image for reference.

Thanks, I got the TOP view back to north. Now I will just need to do a 3D Rotation.
