Rotate Entire Model keeping Project North Up on the page.

I am new to Revit..... I just finished modeling an existing building from a 25 year old set of drawings. I drew the building in the same sheet orientation as the set I was working from. No north arrow was present on the drawings.... I didn't check...... Rookie Mistake!!!! The issue I am having is that when I Select all in the 3D view and rotate it seems to work but then I realized the structural grid did not rotate. When I rotate the Grid, all the joists beams and columns cause errors. If I disjoin them to correct the error then all the beams and joists go crazy an are several hundred feet long and stick out the building..... Why is this so difficult? Or am i missing something?

Are you wanting to set up True North vs. Project North?  

 

...there's a few tutorials on-line. Here's one:

Well on this project True North and Project North would be the same if Project North is at the top of a sheet or view.... So yes to both??? lol I just drew the model 180 degrees out when I started and didn't realize it...

 

However, I think I solved my issue. In 3D I selected all and rotated 180. I then went back to plan view. This time I used the mirror command (with "copy" unchecked) to flip the gridlines. I did this once for each the east-west and north-south grids. I did not receive any errors with this method like I did when trying to rotate the grid. Let me know if you think there is any flawed logic in this.

You could have simply rotated both Project North and True North to whatever angle you want instead of rotating the model.  Guess it's too late now.

I did that. But that still kept the North elevation at the "bottom" of the view or sheet. I know I could then rotate views on sheets etc.... but that seemed like more work than what I did, just 3 commands in total. Our office standards, and the project, make this necessary.

You don't have to rotate any views on Sheets.  Are you talking about the North Elevation label?  Why not simply rename it to South Elevation?

ROTFL! Didn't think of that one, @ToanDN!  

 

But, if you're paid by the hour, you can always do it the longer way. Smiley (zwinkernd)

I'm new guys, just trying to figure it out... I didn't try using the true north and project north in secession as the video shows. I will have to try that next time to see how it works.

And yes, I realize how elevation markers can be renamed... that wasn't the issue.... 

Thanks for the advice.

FYI: My response wasn't directed towards you.  I was amused that I didn't think of what @ToanDN suggested.
