Is there anyway to rotate a whole porject as once ?

I'm on version 9 and all you have to do is use your cursor to select the whole project then use the rotate tool in the edit menu to rotate it to the desired position. I'm not sure about AC10.

Make sure you have the marquee tool set to the thick line marquee (all floors option) in the info box.

Also have all the layers turned on so that nothing is left in its original position.

You can rotate an entire model with all its plan content, but the 2D content of elevation/sections and detail will not rotate. The next time you open a section and rebuild it from model, the building will have moved from its original location and any 2D content will not align any more.

My thick Marquee tool that is supposed to select items on all stories doesn't work. It only selects things on the current story (just like the thin one). Is there some preference setting or something I am missing??

When I need to rotate a project I have to do it floor by floor then items that show up on more that one floor get rotated more than once if I am not careful- very time consuming.

...and don't forget to unlock those layers you locked.

Mo,

You need to go surfing with Greg Heitzler ( g.h.design )

The waves at Bonny Doon Look way sicker than Oak Bluffs.

Must have been a North Shore day.

Naw, my avatar is just a pic of Andy Irons at Teahupo, Tahiti. Long way from Bonny Doon. Spring winds howling side shore here and no doubt Oak Bluffs is offshore every morning...

Yeah, off shore around the ankles. . .

. . . Does anyone know why my select all story thick marquee will not work on my projects?

The thick marquee doesn't actually select all stories it just makes them visible in the 3D window. If you select all on your current story then you will only be able to see the current story in the 3D window.

When I rotate all, yeah I do it in the 2D window, story by story. All layers on & unlocked, careful to turn the layers of multi-storied elements off after I have rotated them once (I have a keyboard shortcut for the quick layer tool to turn selected layer off, speeds all things considerable). Yeah a little time consuming, not instantaneous (no single command).

You could post it on the wish list...

Greg ...

Just unlock and show all, take a fat marqee that encompasses everything, and rotate.

As Tom said, you will have to re-align the 2D elements in S/E and the detail windows as the location of the model has changed.

Wow. That works perfectly. Thank you Djordje.

So you don't have to select all after using the marquee tool? Ooooops!

Unless you rotate your section cut and elevation markers with the rest of the model. Yes:?:

No. If you rotate the section markers, they will show the building where it is now, not where it used to be. The 2D content will be where the building used to be.
