About this asset

This North Arrow 2 is a clean Revit annotation family designed for project site plans and general orientation documentation. The North Arrow 2 features a minimalist graphic composition consisting of a central vertical needle, a circular compass rose with cardinal direction markers, and a prominent 'N' identifier. The design prioritises clarity and legibility, using high-contrast black linework that remains sharp at various scales. The circular element includes internal triangular markers for secondary directions, providing a balanced visual anchor for site drawings. Its geometry is straightforward, ensuring it does not distract from the primary architectural information on a sheet while providing essential orientation context for contractors, consultants, and clients.

The download is a 256 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.

As a standard Revit generic annotation family, this component is loaded directly into the project environment and placed onto sheets or within views. Users can rotate the family to align with the true or project north as required by the site orientation. Because it is a vector-based annotation, it will maintain its scale relative to the sheet regardless of the view scale, ensuring consistent graphic standards across all project documentation sets.

This symbol is essential for any architectural or landscape project requiring clear site orientation. It is typically deployed on site plans, roof plans, and master planning documents to indicate orientation to project stakeholders. Professionals will find it highly effective for standardizing drawing sets in residential, commercial, and urban development projects. By maintaining a consistent, professional appearance across all sheets, this north arrow helps ensure that site information is communicated accurately and efficiently throughout all stages of the design and construction process.
