How do I rotate views without knowing which way is the top view, for example in SpaceClaim Direct Modeler?

While in 3D mode, you can use the "Snap View" tool, located in the "Orient" group on the "Design" tab. You can click a face to view it head-on, then click, drag, and release the mouse towards the top, bottom, or sides of the design window to ‘throw´ the face to that side. To display a straight-on view of a planar face, select the face and click Plan view in the Orient group on the Design tab.
