My model is already geolocated, yet the North direction refuses to line up with the real-world north shown on my site plans. Because the file will be used for a solar study, getting this right is critical; shadows and orientation data are currently off-kilter. What I need from you: • Open the SketchUp 2026 file I supply, diagnose why the North tool will not rotate or stay set. • Correct the orientation so the North arrow matches the true north on my uploaded CAD/site reference. • Send back the repaired .skp plus a short note (or quick screen grab set) explaining the exact steps, so I can repeat the process on future models. I’m on SketchUp 2026 Pro for desktop, so please make sure any extension or workflow you use is fully compatible with that version. If the fix involves Add Location, Axes adjustments, or an extension such as Solar North, just let me know in the note. As soon as the model and explanation arrive, I’ll test the shadow study to confirm everything lines up. Should be a straightforward task for someone who knows the quirks of SketchUp’s North tools—happy to turn this around quickly.
