Thanks. For the second question, how can I get the top view show the TOP of the object and the front View the FRONT side of the object because right now both of them show just the same part of the object.

As for the first one, here is a screen shot.It shows when I scroll to get it closer. If I didn't get it close enough it will appear so small and selecting faces or edges will be difficult, and when I get it more close it disappears off the screen.
