Naw, my avatar is just a pic of Andy Irons at Teahupo, Tahiti. Long way from Bonny Doon. Spring winds howling side shore here and no doubt Oak Bluffs is offshore every morning...

Yeah, off shore around the ankles. . .

. . . Does anyone know why my select all story thick marquee will not work on my projects?

The thick marquee doesn't actually select all stories it just makes them visible in the 3D window. If you select all on your current story then you will only be able to see the current story in the 3D window.

When I rotate all, yeah I do it in the 2D window, story by story. All layers on & unlocked, careful to turn the layers of multi-storied elements off after I have rotated them once (I have a keyboard shortcut for the quick layer tool to turn selected layer off, speeds all things considerable). Yeah a little time consuming, not instantaneous (no single command).

You could post it on the wish list...

Just unlock and show all, take a fat marqee that encompasses everything, and rotate.

As Tom said, you will have to re-align the 2D elements in S/E and the detail windows as the location of the model has changed.

My bad...

Wow. That works perfectly. Thank you Djordje.

So you don't have to select all after using the marquee tool? Ooooops!

Unless you rotate your section cut and elevation markers with the rest of the model. Yes:?:

No. If you rotate the section markers, they will show the building where it is now, not where it used to be. The 2D content will be where the building used to be.

woow..thanks..that answer was so much useful I had to rotate my whole project too and didn't know how to do it the easiest way.
