hi shantnu i am deepak from Delhi, working in TERI

i will tell u a simple method to solve this north problem. start modelling ur building in relative or world co-ordinate system. the angle of true north in component 'building' let it be 0 (zero). specify the angle of ur zone or building in group 'zone' keeping the true north which is zero as ur base line. remember one thing if u have specified as world co-ordinate system ur angles in group 'zone' will not work. dont worry, if u are comfortable in world co-ordinate system carry on but once u finish ur modelling just change the option to 'relative' no need of changing the co-ordinates. then u can see ur buiding rotated with ur north in the correct place.
all the best take care.


Let us know if you have further questions after looking at it.
