VB 
' Find a 3D view type
Dim collector1 As New FilteredElementCollector(document)

Dim viewFamilyTypes As IEnumerable(Of ViewFamilyType)

viewFamilyTypes = From elem In collector1 _
                  Let vftype = TryCast(elem, ViewFamilyType) _
                  Where vftype.ViewFamily = ViewFamily.ThreeDimensional _
                  Select vftype
' Create a new View3D
Dim view3D__1 As View3D = View3D.CreateIsometric(document, viewFamilyTypes.First().Id)

    ' Change the orientation by creating and setting a ViewOrientation3D
