Why is the perspective view reversed? I've yet to see a real life view, where the nearer an object gets to you, the narrower it seems! In Onshape, that's how it appears. Bizarre.

The shape is a square, perpendicular and equal sides. Tilted forward, the back edge should be shorter in perspective... not longer.
the default view is orthographic, meaning it has zero perspective convergence. Our brains aren't used to seeing things that way, so the back looks larger, but that's an optical illusion. I suspect if you measure it on your screen, you'll find it's the exact same length as the front. Note, the bigger the object is that you're designing, the more "wrong" it will look; A phone will look more "right", a car will look more "wrong", and a house will look even more toylike and "wrong". You can click the small grey cube and pick "Turn perspective on" to make it converge. I wish there were a way to control the amount of perspective, since it's usually way too much for small objects. Onshape's default is about right for a house.
