Step by step will help....but it sounds like you are doing it correctly....but forget to look at your other views.

When you rotate True north, you are rotating True North...project north stays in the same location....you can only rotate true north when your view is set to "True North"...so the building will rotate....but only in the view that is set to be shown as "True North"....if you set your view to "Project North" or go to a view that is set to "Project North" your building would have remained in the same spot...
