View Project with Correct North

Anonymous
Not applicable
I've correctly set north and I see the arrow pointing in the north direction

, but, is there any way to view the plan with north pointing up, temporariliy?

Can I reorient the project to work with north being up for a while and then jump back, so to speak?;)

Hello,


The north is and must always remain unique and properly oriented. On the other hand to visualize the North vertically of its layout and at the top, then it is necessary to use this tool situated at the very bottom of the archicad screen :

You mean I have to manually rotate the view every time I want to view the project with correct north?

There's no way to switch easily between project orientation and correct north?

Create two Views, one for each rotate angle (use the Get Current Window's Settings in the View Settings dialog box). Then use the Views to switch orientations.
