    Change the Orientation of a Plan View

    You can specify whether each plan view is oriented to Project North or True North.

    By default, plan views are oriented to Project North.

    1. Open a plan view.
    2. On the Properties palette, for Orientation, select a value:

      Project North aligns the view with the preferred orientation for design work, as specified for the model.

      True North aligns the view with the real-world north direction. See Rotate True North.
