NORTH - how to rotate

[cdunfield]

When I started my Revit Drawing I drew with North at the bottom of my screen.

How do I now rotate my project to get north to the top of the screen?

I already visited the Help Menu but its been no help.

The easiest way to deal with this is to rotate your view crop-region--but that is a view-by-view solution, doesn't rotate your whole project. I am in the middle of a rendering right now so I can't play around in Revit, but I believe it's somewhere under settings, and you should be able to change project coordinates, or something like that...sorry I am not of more help right now.

Rotating the crop region is a good idea but I did not get the desired afftect. The reason I want to rotate the drawing so NORTH is at the top of my screen is because Revit has automatically associated my elevations (NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST) with the plan but they're all wrong. How can I both rotate my drawing so north is at the top of my screen and also get my elevation names to correspond?

You can just simply rename the elevations to the correct designation. north, south, east, west.

Yep--this is probably the best idea--I have done this a lot, especially when starting a project before getting correct survey information.

But that would be too easy and obvious...:mrgreen:
