Multiple buildings with different rotations

ELEVATE — Mon, 23 Oct 2023 04:25:21 GMT

I have a project w/ multiple buildings that have different rotations. I want to keep all the buildings in the same file as opposed to hotlinking them. In regards to the rotations, is it best to set up a folder structure for each building and rotate the plans to plan north. OR do this in the site plan? I usually create a separate story level for the site plan so I super impose over floor plans w/ a background pen setting, so all site info is greyed out. Also for a single building I usually rotate the site plan linework then rotate back the other way with the rotation tool. The main goal is to have all rotated buildings not be rotated on the plan setup sheets. Also to have text to reads correctly. Another option is to rotate the source view, but then the text would be incorrect. Thanks

it doesn't look like you've got repetitive buildings that require rotation.

i think in this case i'd keep the entire site oriented to North, then save a set of plan views for each building with their own orthogonal rotation.
