Not sure I understand the context of the question.

If you are asking as an ArchiCAD user, you set the north direction in the Sun Settings dialog.

But, you are asking this on the developer forum, so are you asking how to do this from within a custom add-on?

To set the noth direction in an apx use:

API_PlaceInfo placeInfo;
memset(&placeInfo, 0, sizeof(API_PlaceInfo));
ACAPI_Enviroment(APIEnv_GetPlaceSetsID, placeInfo, NULL)
placeInfo.north = direction;
ACAPI_Enviroment(APIEnv_ChangePlaceSetsID, placeInfo, NULL)

thanks, yes it works.
Another question.
I developed a cost extimation plugin (http://www.analistgroup.it/ArchiCad/index.asp) for ArchiCAD.
The problem is that I want to insert some control into the property panel.
I tried the example (Panel_Test) but It seems doesn't works.
Any suggestion?

Gerry
