Rotate a single view in Revit

In Revit, the structure is designed in the direction of either project north or true north. Many requests have been made to rotate a single view 90 degrees for placement on a sheet. This can be a very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing because rotating a view will change the entire direction of the project, which is WRONG.

To rotate a single view:

1. Duplicate the view.

2. Turn on the crop region.

3. Choose MODIFY and select the crop region.

4. Use the ROTATE command to turn the crop region, which will turn the view.

Hey, Great tip. One thing I figured out (which is insanely frustrating until you DO figure it out): the view's orientation must be set to "Project North" or the "rotate" command will not even be enabled.

Many people consider this is a bit to unpredictable and instead of investing their pocket change in potentially massive lottery winnings, they do something more valuable with it…like buy a Slurpee from 7-11. Everyday, though, somebody stumbles across Big
foot, so to speak. New lotto millionaires are created on a daily basis. For example, Loretta Brown of Detroit, MI bought her ticket as an afterthought. The next day Bigfoot walked right up to her and yelled "Boo". Thanks to her random numbers she now has the problem of what to do with an extra 75 million dollars.
