I understand the true north and project north settings in revit - its great and really helpfull.
My co-worker asked me to show him how to do this and I was asked a question - hope you guys n gals can help.
If I am linking in an AutoCad DWG file which is a survey - the grid and building are already aligned to true north but the building is at an angle on the site.
I want to set up true north and project north but as the DWG is already set to true north when I set true/project north and rotate the view to show the building is horizontal this becomes true north.
Therefore my True North is really project north and vice versa - it works fine but does anyone have any suggestions how to reverse this so that I can import the DWG into true north and when I rotate the view to show the building horizontal it becomes project north.
Any suggestions and I Hope this makes sense.
