Viewing scene from the top

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with viewing my scene from the top, it's a floorplan in which
some boxes are dropped.

Example:

As you can see in the screenshot, the boxes in the corner have perspective but the one in the middle does not. Obviously because it is directly underneath the camera. I want everything to be 2D. Will the orthographic tutorial offer me a solution or is there another way?

Thanks in advance.

Do you really want everything to be 2D? Why are you working with a 3d engine then? Ortohgraphic view is also 3d, butwith a decent view onto the scene. It basically the opposie of what you want: It's everything with a simplistic perspective.

Yes, that's exactly what the orthographic mode is all about: 3D without the perspective distortion.
