By default, the AECOsim Energy Simulator application window opens with three Views opened with top, isometric and front orientations. The top orientation or plan view is the largest of the three, and is typically where most of the AECOsim Energy Simulator modeling tasks are completed.

Views are collectively, the portion of the active model (and its attached references) that are displayed in a view window in a certain display orientation. Up to eight views can be opened at one time.
