Site Plan and Floor Plan Orientations

[Anonymous]

This is a two-part question. I have a site survey and I want to use it to create an architectural site plan. The site orientation from the survey needs to remain the same on the architectural site plan.

Question 1: What is the best way to create an architectural site plan? Do you create a worksheet, merge the survey, clean it up, and put them on the desired AC layers? After that what should happen so the site plan has both the desired site data from the survey and the architectural ground floor plan so you can save it as a view and place it on a sheet.

Question 2: I want to maintain the same orientation as the survey so north is pointing in the right direction, and the floor plan rotated based on its orientation on the site. Assuming Question 1 is taken care of, how do you get the floor plan to rotate properly on the site plan without affecting the horizontal orientation of the floor plan on the saved views and the layout. Thanks.

Stuart,

I am on the view map. Once I rotated a plan with the site and saved it as a view, it shows up in the view map as I want it. However, once I open other floor plans on the view map, they are rotated as well, which I do not want. Then I un-rotate them and "redefine with current window setting." Everything goes back to normal, that is until I open the saved view with the rotation again, then all the floor plans are again rotated.

I think I know what the problem is. UN-check the "Ignore zoom and rotation when opening this view" button in each saved plan view. If that button is checked it will override any rotation or zoom setting.

Stuart, thanks. It did it. Appreciate your help.
