Custom Orientation for each floor

FinkernagelRoss — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 13:04:15 GMT

I'm currently working on an existing building doing an extension and refurbishment project.

As the existing walls are mostly slightly slanting, and with the thicknesses all slightly different from one another, especially on each floor, the internal orientations are all slightly distorted from each other.

As i'm modelling some new partition walls and boxing up certain spaces to create more symmetrical internal spaces, I'm having to offset from different base fixed walls on each floor and therefore Setting Graphical Orientations whenever I work on different floors as to draw things perpendicularly. However, I was wondering if this can be fixed or made unique for each floor so they would be kept at a certain orientation on each floor?

Operating system used: Windows

If you are talking about screen rotation, that unfortunately applies to all storeys.

The screen rotation list does hold the last 4 custom rotations though, so if you can remember which is for each storey, it is easy to re-apply.

Otherwise you have to manually reset the rotation each time you want to change it.

Just work from Saved Views? Just ensure that the ignore setting is turned OFF.

Is a bit annoying since you would not be able to using the Storey Up/Down shortcuts, but easier than setting the orientation for every floor change.

That does indeed save the screen rotation with the view settings.

If you have existing views then open with that view from the view map, rotate the screen as desired, in the view settings turn that option off a Ling mentioned and then use the button at the top of the settings dialogue to 'Get current window settings' to store the screen rotation.
