I placed myself on pluto and looked inwards. This helps but still not the best to show different orbit's planes and their angles relative to one another.

change orbit inclination of solar system observer to 0 then save.
start stellarium
on ecliptic line [press ,]
go to Solar system observer
select sun and centre
zoom and select any planet
Press O.

for orbit of all planet just press O [without select any planet]
