A view represents a position from which the part is observed. The default views provided are relative to the Reference plane: REFERENCE denotes the Top view, followed by the Isometric (3D) view, as well as the Front and Side views. Upon creation of a workplane, a corresponding view is automatically generated bearing the same name, representing the Top view of that plane.
