Rotating Elevations

If you need to create an Elevation View to a non-perpendicular Element (in this example a wall), when you place the Elevation it will automatically snap to be parallel to the Element. A very handy feature. (Keep Reading! That isn’t it!)

If the element gets re-designed and its orientation changes, so that the Elevation is no longer parallel.

Your first instinct is to select the elevation and go to the Rotation tool, this will work but is a long and tedious process of repositioning the rotation base point, etc…..


If you select the circle symbol of the Elevation, there is a small rotation symbol that allows you to quickly rotate the elevation view and re-snap to the Element alignment. Easy!!!
