Rotating Multiple layers

[dontevenjoke]

I have a project where there are a number of condos/townhouses on a site. I want to position some at various angles to gain better solar access or to fit them on the site.

I am trying to rotate multiple layers together.

I have been using 'Rotate 3D objects' a layer at a time, however the 2D objects don't rotate and I have to reposition them manually.

I have tried to link the layers and rotate them, but can't make it work.

Am I missing something as I follow the manual, or is there another way to approach this?

Thanks,

On your site plan layer, make Layer links to your building layers. Unlock and group the layer links. Now you can move and rotate them around your site plan as you like.

If the model of the condos are slightly complex

you may want to create them in separate files and use WGR (workgroup reference) to bring them in to the site plan.

then once they are WGR; you create a layer link as per Robert's response

That works well, Thanks for the heads up,

Simon
