Description
Setting the angle to true north on the project base point seems to export it both in the xaxisabscissa/xaxisordinate of the map conversion (i.e. grid north rotation) as well as in the true north rotation. How do I control grid north independently from true north? How do I set the true north?
Grid north and true north are not the same. This has been incorrectly named in Revit for a long time unfortunately.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the Revit IFC export with different project base point angles and inspect the map conversion xaxisabscissa/xaxisordinate alongside the true north rotation. Done should mean grid north and true north can be controlled independently and the exported values distinguish them correctly.
