How to place the top view in the orientation I need?

In general:

  • switch to ‘Parallel’ projection and ‘Top View’
    -redraw the model axes: click once for the new origin > then drag red and when satisfied, triple click to set all three axes.
  • hover over a (new) drawing axis in empty space and right click.
  • Select ‘Align View’ in the context menu. Green will be pointing up on screen.
  • (save this scene with the reoriented top view).

This should only take you a few seconds.
