This feels like a really silly question but I've never run into it before now...

 

Is there a way to acurately set the rotation of an orthographic elevation camera?  I have a wall thats at a totally off angle and can't seem to figure out a way to get the camera perpendicular.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Michael,

 

I am not sure if this is the only way but it does work.

You need to use the Plan defaults to set an Additional Allowed Angle to match the angle of the wall, so that the camera snaps to that angle when you draw it. 

I'm sure that you can figure it out from that.

I think I do what Scott does. I draw a cad line. I don't worry about setting an additional angle in the "allowed angles". I just make the line I drew perpendicular to the wall and it works just fine. Now having the "on object" snap turned on, I can make the camera view and it will follow the line. Works perfect every time for me.
