I want View that I can place on a window (or anywhere in IB) along a view controller. I can then point the controller at the model and everything will "just work".

I then added an instance of my view controller. The problem is that I'm stuck from there - I'm unsure how to get the view to appear where I want it to on the window. I've added a Custom View in the layout and set its class to my view's class. I attach the view to the view controller. And nothing happens and I'm unsure what to override or call to make it happen.
