Modifying axis orientation so measurement works on rotated drawings

Is there a way to rotate the axis of an entire project inside Navisworks?

We're able to adjust the orientation of the compass to match the drawing but I haven't found a way to force the x/y axes to match the compass.

 

I know it is possible to modify the orientation for each individual .dwg I import into Navisworks so the measurement tool works correctly.. however, then the coordinates we use for the project are incorrect. 0,0,0 in Navis matches the model but 0,100,0 in Navis is NOT 0,100,0 in the model.

 

Thank you!

Hi,

 

I do not see any API to manipulate the axis. In addition, API has only the ability to manipulate camera. When you said "We're able to adjust the orientation of the compass to match the drawing", I think it means by UI, right?

Correct, by the UI under the File Options menu.

 

Thanks for the response!
