Drawing irregular walls

Hello friends, I have an issue and I don't know how to fix it. I'm drawing diagonal walls on my project and everything's okay until I get to a certain wall in wich I cannot draw the wall unless it is horizontal because the mouse arrow doesn't let me get to the final point. Please look at the attached picture adn tell me your opinions.

 

P.D: I've already tried with snaps.

When the line is very closed to horizontal or vertical Revit will force the wall to be the right angle. Just draw it horizontally then use align command to align it to whatever​ angle you want.

By the way, is the Cad file orientation correct? It's odd with an angle only slightly off axis like that?

Hi @BrithneyMoralesJaimes,

 

Use 'TAB' key to move your cursor point as you want while in drawing mode. Hope this will help you. Feel free to ask me if its not clear.

Thank You! and please 'Accept As Solution' when you found a solution, to help others.

I'm sure the orientation is correct with regards to True North or whatever. But why would you ever want to model in that orientation? Why wouldn't you model in a View that is set up so that you can model orthogonally?
