Products and versions covered
You were given a site plan from a surveyor and you want to use it in your Revit project. However, your project is not oriented to True North. So you want your site drawing to display with one orientation (North straight up) and your build forms to display with another orientation (Plan North straight up).
To adjust the site orientation
Property tags should now display the correct values and you should have two different orientations available for all of your plans: Project North, which will show the project drawn orthogonally with Plan North at the top of the page, and True North, which will have the project rotated so that True North is at the top of the page. You can select either of these orientations in your plan views.
