Orientation based on True North

Hello everyone!

I’m trying to obtain different elements based on their True North orientation. All the nodes that i have tried give me the project orientation/vector.

Is there a node or method to obtain the True North orientation/vector?

Kulkul,

Sorry for my late response, but I was busy last week.

Thanks for your advice!

Is there another way to select the project base point? I dont want to do this manualy every time i run a script!
