Left side, bottom and back orthographic views

I was wondering if it is possible to create/get a orthographic viewpoint of the bottom, left side and back side of the object I'm modeling? And if yes, then how?

You can create a new top camera call it bottom then with the camera sellected rota 180 and move down so you are looking up, same for the side and back camera............dave

Thanks. That worked.

Is there any way to get the orthographic views meny that pop up when to press the spacebar, to display all the different views I have now created?

When you tap the spacebar it should just switch to a layout of side, front, and top views along with perspective. Shouldn't need to change anything other than switching the top view to a bottom view.

Just played about with it and got it working..................dave

Edit here is the little bit of script all you need to change(Bottom) to the name you have given you view

//Bottom
$curPan = `getPanel -wf`;
lookThroughModelPanel Bottom $curPan;

I had this problem and Googled it, and this came up. However I found something better and if I understand correctly you're all doing it in a more complicated fashion than necessary. So even though this thread is old, I'll post this for others. Just go to the top left of your view, and click VIEW > PREDEFINED BOOKMARKS > BOTTOM...Or which ever view you want, all 6 sides are available.
