Setting project north
Setting a project north is useful for a few reasons:
Ortho snapping will be aligned to project north
Floor plan views will be aligned to project north by default
Clicking the compass button will orient your view to project north after it is set
To set project north:
Go to main menu → Project → Project North or select "Set project north" from the dropdown beside the compass button in the top right of the model view
Click to place the first point for the north arrow vector
Click to place the second point for the north arrow vector. You’ll see a pink arrow indicating project north direction while placing the second point.
Note that if you have already created floor plan views, when you set project north all floor plan views will be updated to orient to project north automatically unless you have explicitly set the orientation of the view.
