Literally does not do anything sensible. How do you have your building rotated as per project north and survey north ( for floor plans and site plan)

[@SpectrumVirtualAssistants]

In Archicad 27, you can rotate your building to align with both project north and survey north using the following steps:
Setting Project North
1. Open the Project Map:
o Go to View > On-Screen View Options > Project North.
2. Adjust Project North:
o Use the Rotate Orientation tool to rotate the entire building model so that it aligns with the desired project north direction.
Setting Survey North
1. Import or Create the Survey:
o Import the survey data or create a survey plan within your project.
2. Align Survey North:
o Place the survey data correctly within the site plan.
o Use the Rotate Orientation tool to rotate the survey plan so that it aligns with the survey north direction.
Synchronizing Both Orientations
To switch between project north and survey north views in your floor plans and site plan:
1. Create Two Different Views:
o Create one view with the building rotated to project north.
o Create another view with the building rotated to survey north.
2. Save the Views:
o Save each view in the Navigator under the appropriate category (e.g., Floor Plans, Site Plan).
3. View Settings:
o For each saved view, go to View Settings and make sure the Orientation is set correctly (either
Project North or Survey North).
Using the View Map
1. Access View Map:
o Go to the Navigator and open the View Map.
2. Adjust Orientation in View Settings:
o Right-click on the specific view and select View Settings.
o In the Orientation section, choose either Project North or Survey North.
By using these steps, you can manage and switch between project north and survey north orientations for your building's floor plans and site plans in Archicad 27.
