Hi all,

I am well under way with a project and need to change how Revit displays North. Rather than displaying North accurately (upwards) I'd like to have Revit display North to the left. Changing True North or Project North doesn't work in my case because I would like the building to be displayed as is, just with North in a different direction... is this possible?

Thanks!

Just rotate your view on the sheet to however you want it to be.

Your description is a bit vague - I presume that you have True North & Project North both pointing upwards, and you want Project North to point upwards, but True North to point to the left.

You then say that rotating Ttue or Project North will not work in your case.

If you have rotated Project North to point to the left (that is set orientation to Project North and rotate 90 degrees to the left), when you set your orientation back to Project North, then you should be able to view Project North as upwards.

Let me know if this is not what is happening.
