Survay setings

Hello, I have a question about how could I reset direction Y in Archiad 26 to have better accuracy when presenting the points in stereo? At the moment I have the symbol in this way and I would like to reverse it Y ul like the red arrow below.

The symbol is showing like that because you have rotated your screen, the only way to get it back to the X, Y, in your sketch is to revert the screen rotation to '0'. Where you have 90º at the moment, click that and select '0' from the list. This will however rotate the entire content of your window.

 

You should import the survey data and then set the project origin using the Survey Point to indicate to Archicad where North is and also move the survey point so effectively reset Project '0' to be the co-ordinates of a known point in your survey.

I have this problem with the Y coordinate because in the right north pozition I have negative value. Can you have a solution about this problem?
