About this asset

This Revit family North Arrow symbol provides a clear, professional way to indicate project and true north on floor plan sheets. The symbol features a clean, circular geometry divided by a primary vertical axis, representing the project north orientation. An secondary, angular line extends from the centre point, clearly distinguishing the true north bearing from the project alignment. The design is strictly monochromatic and vector-based, ensuring it remains crisp at any scale when placed on a title block or within a view. It provides the essential clarity required for site orientation in architectural documentation, avoiding unnecessary decorative elements to maintain a minimalist, technical appearance consistent with standard construction drawing sets.

The download is a 72 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 annotation family, this symbol is loaded directly into the project environment or title block family. Users can rotate the nested true north line to match project-specific site data without altering the primary orientation of the floor plan view. It is designed to maintain consistent lineweights across various output scales, ensuring that the distinction between project and true north remains legible on printed A1 or A3 drawing sets.

This asset is essential for any architectural or engineering project requiring precise site orientation during the documentation stage. It is typically placed on site plans, roof plans, and ground floor layouts to assist contractors and consultants in understanding the building orientation relative to the site. Professionals will find this useful for maintaining consistent drawing standards across residential, commercial, or institutional developments, ensuring that site north is clearly communicated alongside the project grid in all formal planning submissions.
