About this asset

This Revit annotation family provides a standard North Arrow symbol for site plans and orientation in documentation projects. The North Arrow 3 is a clean, graphic annotation element designed for consistent use in architectural documentation. It features a three-pointed star motif enclosed within a circular frame, providing a clear visual indicator for project orientation. The design includes a bold 'N' label positioned at the primary vertex, ensuring legibility at standard output scales. The geometry is vector-based and crisp, suitable for placement on site plans, roof plans, or orientation diagrams. The simplicity of the form ensures it does not distract from the primary site information while maintaining clear project alignment.

The download is a 276 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 use this family, load the RFA file into your project or template file. Once loaded, it can be placed directly onto sheets or within views using the Symbol tool. As a standard annotation family, it remains at a constant size relative to the paper, regardless of the view scale. Users can rotate the family to align with the project north or true north as required by the specific site plan configuration.

This symbol is essential for any architectural project requiring clear orientation in documentation. It is most frequently deployed on site plans, landscaping layouts, and roof plans to communicate project north to contractors and consultants. Professionals working on residential, commercial, or urban master-planning projects will find this a reliable addition to their standard drawing template. It pairs well with standard title blocks and project north settings, ensuring that site orientation is communicated clearly across all drawing sets in any project stage.
