# North Pointer

Building rotation refers to how far your building is turned from true North. For example, 0° means no rotation, while 90° means the building is rotated 90 degrees clockwise.

## Set Building Rotation

To set your building’s rotation, go to 'Modelling' under the 'Simulation' tab. Enter the angle in degrees from true North, then click Save to apply the rotation.
