Instead of the 3D view, how can I draw a front, side, or even rear views?

There's a parameter you have to type on the command line to do this.  It
gives LDraw the viewpoint figures.  It's the -A parameter, and you type it
like this:

ldraw mymodel.dat -a1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1

This example gives you a front view.  You can find several examples in the
ldraw.doc file (in the ldraw directory).

If you want to make a custom view, fire up LEdit, switch to Front view, and
rotate the 2x4 brick until it is in the position you want to view.  In the
line-display at the top of the screen, write down the 6th through 14th
numbers.  These are the values you type in the -A parameter for your custom
view.
