Rotating elevations

Any reasons why horizontal elevations with elevation height lines should rotate 90 degrees and loose the elevation height lines when imported into layouts? It has never happened to me before - must have done, or am doing, something wrong.

Sections, when moved to layout sheets, rotate, but don't loose the elvation height lines. It must be a setting - but where?

It can't be the default drawing setting since that would affect all drawings. Have you tried manually rotating it to the correct orientation?

I can maniually rotate them in the layouts. However, the storey height lines don't reappear. I want to know what causes it!

HTH: This happened to me once: the rotation of the floorplan was transferred to the elevation. I added a shortcut for the command Reset Orientation. By pressing the shortcut and Get Current Windows Settings I restored the view.

I've seen this behavior before, it was caused by a rotated plan ( doesn't make sense I know ) . I had to create a new elevation reseting the view didn't help.
