You can use the Generate Side View feature to display a side view for an Elevation shape. The shape is scaled based on the height and depth fields of the product.

Select the shape(s) for which you want a side view, right-click, and select D-Tools > Shape > Generate Side View.

A side view shape will be displayed next to the original shape.

When generating a side view for more than one shape at a time, e.g., a rack full of equipment, you may have to use the Bring to Front or Send to Back functions in Visio. Below is an example from a sample project of a side view of a rack.
