    When creating insert brushes you need to make sure that the canvas is aligned orthoganally as this is how the mesh will be created on the surface normal, perpendicular. As a rule I will create brushes with Z positive forward and X positive screen right.

    To switch between perspective and orthographic view hit the perspective button on the right tool bar, or press 'P' on the keyboard.

    I have done this, though not taking in account the location of my  Z or X axis
