Globe Link for Autodesk Revit 2014

When I import my Revit model to Google Earth using Globe Link for Autodesk Revit 2014, my model comes in aligned with True North rather than the 35 degree angle towards west that it is aligned to in my Revit project.  The model's Project Base Point comes into Google Earth to the correct lat & longs & elevation, but Google Earth is not picking up the correct angle of the building to the site.  In my site settings it says that Project North is 35 degrees west of True North and works correctly exporting to Civil software, just not Google Earth.

Thank you for your post.  In this case one issue we have seen is a breakdown in communication between the programs.  Some users have seen a more successful link with the recent update 2 applied to the 2014 software.  I have included this below for reference and application.  Please first apply this to your installation, and then test overall communication.  Thank you and we look forward to your update.

Any other ideas?

The issue could be linked to your version of the google plugin.  According to our encounters and notes, the version recommended for use is Google Earth 6.0.1.2032 (Beta).  If you have a newer version, you could uninstall this, and then navigate to Google site to download the older version.  Then compare overall results.  I hope this helps.

Uninstalled newer Google Earth and installed version 6.0.1.2032 (Beta) - no go.  Same results

you have to import the location you want from a kmz file, then export the model from globe link. should work after.
