How do I turn off orthogonal snapping?

[Anonymous]

I'm doing as-builts of a historic structure and the walls are very slightly out of alignment with the x-y axes. Whenever I'm drawing something that's nearly (but not quite) horizontal or vertical, Revit forces it to be aligned to x-y axes. I don't want that but don't know how to turn it off so that it snaps only to my crooked geometry.

Thanks for any help!

The only way I know of would be to check the Snaps Off check box in the Snaps dialog box or SO keyboard short cut.

Otherwise the ortho is locked on.

Try to uncheck :Angular Dimension Snap Increments from Manage>Snaps

I worked it out. I have to hold down the SHIFT, then TAB through my snaps.

This might help.
Tick off constrain when you use the Move tool
