About this asset

This Revit annotation family provides a clear, high-contrast North Point symbol for site plans and orientation in documentation. This graphic represents a standard north arrow, featuring a central circular enclosure containing a bold letter N. The design includes a vertical orientation indicator with a pointed upper section and a bifurcated base, creating a classic, professional look suitable for architectural site layouts. The geometry is clean and vector-based, ensuring it remains legible at various scales across different sheet sizes. Its simple, monochromatic design prioritises readability, making it an essential component for clearly communicating site orientation to contractors, planners, and clients. The symbol is designed for consistent application across all project documentation.

The download is a 205 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 into the project and placed directly onto sheets or within drafting views. Users can rotate the element to align with the true or project north orientation as required by the site plan. Because it is a native family, it maintains crisp line weights at any scale, ensuring professional output when printing or exporting to PDF. No complex material mapping is required, as the symbol relies on standard project line styles.

This north point symbol is essential for any professional set of architectural drawings, particularly within site plans, roof plans, and master planning documents. It is a fundamental tool for architects, landscape designers, and urban planners who need to clearly define site orientation for building consent and construction documentation. By providing a consistent, standard graphic, it helps maintain high drawing standards across commercial, residential, or large-scale infrastructure projects. It pairs effectively with standard title blocks and existing annotation libraries for a cohesive project aesthetic.
