If your Overlay Plan is rotated 90, 180, or 270 degrees compared to your Base Plan, you can rotate the Overlay Plan to match.

After we add the Overlay below we see that is Rotated 180 degrees from the Base Plan - very simple to fix!

Overlay and Base not aligned

Use the Rotate Overlay tool to rotate the Overlay plan 90u00b0 at a time. (Because our Overlay Plan needs to be rotated 180u00b0 we click the ccto20_overlays_rotateoverlay_button.png button twice.)

Overlay and Base aligned

After rotating the Overlay the Overlay may still need to be:

  • Flipped vertically or horizontally (next article)
  • Resized (covered later in this section)
  • Aligned (covered later in this section)

If you get to a point where you are have difficulty adjusting your Overlay, click the Reset Overlay button (reset overlay button) and start over.
