No they are three separate views.

In Reply to: Is AP, lateral and oblique one view then? - Tracey

Subject: No they are three separate views.

No they are 3 separate views.
It is the sentence structure that is confusing. Three individual views, but once the word views gets put into the sentence it becomes plural and without the word views it is regarded as singular. I don't necessarily agree, but I believe this is why the QA department and your manager keep changing your grammar.
