Orienting to Project North. Bad Timing

[vanderloo5]

I made the mistake of drawing all of my architectural elements, (walls, roof, etc.), before orienting my project to Project north and I'm having issues and looking for an easy fix. I drew my property lines with distances and bearings and they were very slightly off 90 degrees.

Then I drew all of  my walls and roof parallel to the screen and then changed my project orientation to "Project North" I then had to grab all of my walls, linework, and roof and rotate them back to parallel. But it seems like my elevations are still viewing true north.

Maybe I'm wrong but nothing is lining up for whatever reason on my elevations. They appear to be oriented to the property lines prior to changing to project North.

Is there an easy way to check and fix this? All of my floor and roof plans views are fine. Just my elevations are a little off.

Thank You

There is no such thing as changing a project orientation to project North.  I think you mean changing a view orientation to project North.  You can link your model to a new file, rotate it to align with Project North, then bind the link.

Or, if you don't need to use shared coordinates for this project then keep using True North for all views.

I went to Manage- Project Location/Position/ and selected rotate project north.

Resulting in everything rotating according to the property lines being 90 degrees parallel with my screen.

Also my house shifted to being off parallel so I had to select and rotate all of the architectural elements to line up with the property lines. I did this on the floor plan and roof views. But my elevations seem to still be twisted.

Using Rotate Project North does not re-align elevations and sections already placed.  You will need to recreate them.
