Which projection puts the view there?
Tap a card, then tap its group.
Find the front view, then ask whether each other view sits on the side it was seen from.

Assumptions

•
Third angle (US): the part sits behind the picture plane, so each view goes on the side it was seen from.
•
First angle (ISO): the part sits in front of the plane, so each view goes on the opposite side.
