Summary: Rotating from True North to Project North is overly complicated and messes up the Revit model. &%$#@$#%& !!!!
Description: I start my project on a site plan with a true North view. There I draw the property lines with distances and bearings supplied by the surveyor. (I am in the Southern Hemisphere, and have mirror my diagram horizontally and vertically, but is complaint is on another wish list)
Then I underlay a Google Earth Pro aerial photograph and build the topsurface.
When I have everything nicely set up, I rotate from true North to Project North on a new site plan view.
BOOM !!!
Everything goes to hell. Everything I drew is suddenly scattered all over the place.
Seriously, I do not even know why you have this function, if it does not work properly.
I am fully aware that by rotating from true- to project North, it only influences the 3D elements and not 2D elements. But, this is wrong.Why on earth would you only want to rotate your 3D elements? Why?
Free software like Sketchup can effortlessly differentiate between true- and project North without totally losing it's mind like Revit.
God forbid if you decide to change the angle of your project North when you are already far down the road with developing your building. That is pure suicide. It is "don't go there" territory.
Anyway,
I will pop a big bottle of champagne if this is resolved with Revit 2032.
I will literally pass out from surprise if I see it in Revit 2017.
Just give it your best shot,
Regards,
