Hi there, you can watch this video from minute 4 to 6 showing exactly the steps that I have followed. Since you mention that it is greyed out, it is important that you are in a FLOOR PLAN view. Not in 3D view. It will not work in 3D view even if you have rotated the view to look from the top. For instance if you are in 3D view and clicked on the cube top it will not work. You need to be in a floor plan. From the BROWSER TAB, expand the FLOOR PLANS section and double click on a floor plan to open up. Then turn sun path on ( sun icon at the bottom ), go to Properties Tab, Orientation, change to True North, from the Manage menu at the top, select Position and from the drop down select Rotate True North. If you are in floor plan view it will work. It will allow you to rotate the model to its correct orientation. I hope the above helps.

Important: Before trying to ROTATE TRUE NORTH, you need to change the view to the true north orientation. In the PROPERTIES tab (usually left panel), where it says ORIENTATION, click on the drop down and change the Project North to True North. Then go to MANAGE>POSITION>ROTATE TRUE NORTH

What do you have selected when you click on Rotate True North? Mine is greyed out no matter what is selected. I am in floorplan mode.

It keeps giving me an error that this view (a floorplan view) wont allow me to change the true north settings
