About this asset

This Revit annotation family provides a clear, professional north arrow symbol for site and floor plan documentation. The symbol features a classic compass rose design, rendered in clean, high-contrast black lines. It incorporates an eight-pointed star motif centered within a circular border. The border is segmented with alternating solid and hollow arcs, providing a legible and traditional aesthetic. Cardinal directions (N, E, S, W) are clearly denoted with sans-serif typography positioned at each primary axis. The geometry is optimized for 2D drafting, ensuring sharp line weights and consistent presentation at various scales within a project's documentation set. It is a strictly two-dimensional graphic element designed for placement on sheet layouts.

The download is a 328 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

To implement, load the RFA file into the project as a generic annotation or north arrow family. Once loaded, drag the symbol from the Project Browser onto the desired sheets. The family is typically placed on site plans or floor plans to indicate orientation. Users can rotate the symbol within the viewport to align with the project north or true north as required by the site context and drawing standards.

This graphic element is essential for all architectural documentation, specifically within site plans, master plans, and floor plan sheets. It is suitable for residential, commercial, and hospitality projects where clear orientation is required for contractors, consultants, and planning authorities. Professionals searching for drafting symbols, site plan annotations, or orientation markers will find this asset compatible with standard Revit project templates. It pairs effectively with standard title blocks and documentation sets to maintain a professional and consistent drawing standard across all project phases.
