So here in this simple model that I have, I'm going to use the view cube in the top corner here, of the view cube, to spin the model around. And on this facade of the building, where I have this small little patio, maybe I want to create a small roof canopy up over that entry doorway right there. Now to achieve that, it would be a little bit easier if I work directly in an elevation view. So that happens to be the west elevation of this building, so I'll double-click west here and then zoom in slightly to focus right in on this wall of the building.
