About this asset

This Revit annotation family provides a clear North Arrow symbol with a dedicated True North indicator for site plan documentation. The symbol features a circular frame divided into quadrants, with a distinct, bolded line extending from the centre to indicate the orientation. A clear text label is positioned above the arrow to denote True North, ensuring easy legibility on scaled drawings. The design is strictly 2D, adhering to standard architectural drafting conventions for site orientation. Its clean, vector-based line work ensures that it remains sharp at any print scale, providing a professional and consistent look across all sheet sets in a project, from early master planning to final construction documentation.

The download is a 266 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.

Load this RFA into your Revit project as a generic annotation family. It is intended to be placed directly onto sheets or within drafting views to assist in orienting site plans. Users can rotate the instance to align with the project's specific site conditions. Because it is a native Revit annotation, it will maintain its size relative to the sheet regardless of the viewport scale, ensuring consistent documentation standards across all your project deliverables.

This symbol is essential for any site plan, landscape layout, or master plan where precise orientation is required. It is commonly used in residential, commercial, and urban design projects to distinguish between project north and true north. Architects and landscape designers will find this useful for site analysis, zoning submissions, and general site development documentation. It pairs well with standard title blocks and site survey components, providing the necessary clarity for contractors and consultants to understand the site orientation on site-specific drawings.
