In this Autodesk Revit tutorial I explain the difference between Project North and True North. I show you how to "Rotate True North" in order to correctly orientate your Site Plans.

Right, this is a very important concept, very clear to me now...let me talk to my self (here writing in my terrible English) to see if I've got the idea. So, Site Item in the project explorer is the "Reality", is the view that shows the orientation of the building (and surroundings) with respect to the TRUE NORTH OF THE EARTH (I'm I correct?). Therefore what the command does is, once in the site node you orientate the building (& the surroundings) according to the reality, leaving the other views (nodes) with the Project North orientation for commodity purposes ---->Project North is the North of your computer screen as I can understand, (Maybe?)...Interesting, then with just a switch you can move from one orientation to another on the site node ...and I presume we can do the same in other views as well...his is what my brain tinks...Now you can kick me with the real understanding hahaha :) Great video!!!

You’ve got it 100% correct. Each plan view can be toggled between either Project North (so your building design sits nicely no your screen / paper) and True North (where the building sits as it would do in reality with North pointing vertically on your screen.

@@bimscape Cool, now my next question in this topic will be -->Who define the position or the orientation of the True North on the sheet? I mean, that incline arrow on the top right corner in the video, where that come from, why and how is there? (I always ask a lot of questions :)
