In Acad, there was a UCS command that could align the view with a line in the drawing. Is there a similar function in Revit?

Turn on the crop region, select it, and rotate it, using 'place' to define the rotation point.

Sounds easy, right?

I can rotate the crop region on floor plans, but I'm on a site plan, with topo, adding parking. The crop view and the crop region are on and nothing I do can select the crop region. All I can select is the topo. My parking plan is orthogonal, but at a 15 degree angle. I'm doing all my modeling on an angle. Good practice, but it's taking too much time. Why can't I rotate the site plan crop region?

Can you not select it at all? I tried assigning a crop region to a scope box, and that prevents it from being rotated but I can still select it...

I got it. I was in a design option, with active only checked. I turned off the active only, and the crop was selectable.
