Any tips on rotating the ENTIRE model so North is now South? I want to keep project North UP on the drawing, but need to mirror my building along the E-W centerline. I dont want to simply rename the Elevation tags.

Should I just recreate the entire floor level which is incorrect?

Use the Tools > Rotate Project True North.

First, create a duplicate view and set the orientation in View Properties to True North.

In that view rotate using the graphic or enter the angle of rotation.

You can now switch between the True North and Project North views.

If you wish, rename the elevation markers to the correct orientation.

I was able to mirror most of the elements in the view around a midpoint. Just a little cleanup and I am off and running.

Thanks for the tip!

Keep in mind that that means you no longer have the correct orientation for shadows.
