How can I change the angle or orientation of my project after I almost finished it? I tried the "Align" command, just like we do in AutoCAD where we can align the entire project with any line..but when I did that in Revit, it did it for one wall although I've selected everything to align with a line that I drew with the correct angle.

Also I tried rotate, but everytime I try that it shows me all sorts of error messages about the constraints that will be lost,,etc..and then it rotates the project but with some of the walls disapeared.

I know I'm missing something here, but please bare with me since I'm still a kinder gartener with Revit

I doubt you want to rotate your views- right?  You really want to rotate the building in relation to the site, therefore, I just rotate the site.  Then I rotate the site view as required for my sheet.

You can also adjust where project north / vs real north is.

Thank you WWHub, Your second idea worked so now the 1st step is done, but the project I'm working on has two buildings connected together with an angle. I was able to rotate the project to where I want to, but I now need to adjust the angle of the other building..so is there a way?
