Section Box Orientation

January 24, 2017, 02:21 PM

Does anyone know how I adjust the section box so it runs in the same orientation of the building?

See attached.

In the Top view you can select the section box and rotate it - either by using the Modify>Rotate commands from the ribbon or by using the rotate symbol that should be visible on the box in this view. I prefer the Modify>Rotate command as this gives you the option to place the centre of rotation.
