Site plan is oriented in such a way that North point is always up.
Project base point shows the Direction of the North point of the site.
Add the North symbol by Inset – Load family – Annotation – North Arrow
By above means 2d North point symbol is added to the site.
In order to place this, go to Annotate – Symbol – North Arrow (Select the arrow loaded)
Now we can rotate this North arrow symbol to desired angle such as for example 60°
But the building plan is not rotated to this True North.
How to rotate the Building to the True North?
Project base point and survey point should be set accordingly.
Move the Project Base point to the building corner point.
Unpin the Survey point.
Properties – Orientation – Select - True north
Manage- Project location- Rotate True North
Click and drag the point to the North point inserted.
Rotate the North point to 60°
Now Site plan is rotated and North is facing up.
Only Site plan is rotated.
Rest of the Floor plan its not affected but shadows will be as per the True north rotation.
