Site plan and floor plans with different orientations?

[Anonymous]

I am trying to do a project in which a 1:200 site plan drg has two buildings on it at different orientations and fits an A1 sheet but I want to rotate each of these floor plans at 1:100 so that they are straight so that they each fit onto an A1 sheet better when plotted.

How can I do this the best way?

Assuming I have several buildings on one large site plan all rotated differently and want to do plans of each how would I do that? Would it be best to do one file for the site plan and module in all the building models from other separate files? If so will the separate buildings retain all of their 3d appearance so that the whole site could be viewed in 3d?

See this Archicad thing isn't so hard now is it 😉

Thats exactly how I would do it. You need to hotlink in the storeys for each building one at a time though - you can't bring multiple stories in at once.

So while you may only require a single floor of each building for your site plan (Roof i guess) if you want to be able to see each building complete in 3D you will have to link in all the other floors too.
