How To Set The Orientation Of The House

[smashwings]

Hello, I don't find the way to set the orientation of the house (south-east in my case, of the front of the apartment or house).

Have set the sun (time and day), and situation (coordinates) of the house, but not the orientation, to have the real sun light entering the diferent windows.

 

Thanks

You need to place a North Arrow (CAD Line) in the Plan

To amplify on Joe's answer you set a "North Pointer" relative to the house and rotate the objects that make up the site plan to the house and its North Pointer. You never rotate the house at all what so ever. Like many things in Chief Premier there is usually more than just one way to do something and this is true for site plans as well, pick the method that works for you but do not rotate the house.

Thanks, I placed a pointer before but thought it was only a "cosmetic" arrow for printing or something, didn't notice it changed the orientation, because I was triying to find a comand or key to set the degrees exactly, but this works

Set the angle of the North arrow to the proper direction from the Plan.  I'm not sure about what DJP said relative to rotating Site Items.  I would assume that you have your Property Lines, and Terrain Features correctly drawn relative to the building already.

I just set the north arrow relative to the Drawn plan and just leave it at that. Everything lines up with that. For me, site plan never needs to be north south up and down, it is what it is, in plan view. Front of house is always down. makes it real easy for everyone.
