cross section direction

[Rubixcube10]

I'm currently working on a cross section plan and was wondering if there was any way I can change the direction of the cross section view.  I'm currently just using 2 sample lines, so just 2 views are needed.  My problem is that it seems like one cross section...the view is facing upstream and the other sample line, the cross section view is facing downstream.

Is this normal?  How come both cross sections don't face the same direction?  So with one xsection it's in a East-West direction but the other is a West to East direction.

I have not heard of anything but the view is facing UP-Station.  I know there are requests for the other direction due to Hec-Ras requirements.

As far as I know cross sections only face the direction of the alignment. Are you using a single alignment or two different ones?

single alignment.  I must be looking at it wrong.  I'll check again on another job with a mountain next to the stream.  That will confirm but at the time, I'll go with what you guys mentioned with both facing the same direction.
