About this asset

This Revit annotation symbol is a classic north arrow design, featuring a central circle with an N and a four-pointed star. The symbol features a central circular frame containing the letter N, surrounded by a classic four-pointed star design. It uses a high-contrast black and white graphic style, with alternating solid and outline sections on the compass points to ensure clear visibility against various background colours in construction documents. The proportions are balanced, designed specifically for clean presentation on standard architectural floor plans. This family is constructed as a 2D annotation symbol, ensuring it maintains a consistent physical size on the printed page regardless of the drawing scale applied to the view.

The download is a 164 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 this symbol, load the RFA file into your project template or active file via the Insert tab. Once loaded, access the family through the Annotation Symbols category in the Project Browser. Place the element directly onto your floor plan sheets or within a view template. You can rotate the symbol manually to align with the project north or true north as required by your site plan and documentation standards.

This north arrow is essential for all architectural documentation, specifically for site plans, roof plans, and orientation-dependent floor plans. It is suitable for projects across all sectors, including residential, commercial, and institutional developments. Professionals working in Revit will find this a vital addition to their standard sheet templates, ensuring consistent project orientation. It pairs perfectly with standard title blocks and scale bars to complete the professional look of construction documentation packages during the design development and construction documentation project stages.
