### 5.2.9. Compass rose

This component enables the graphical editor to determine the orientation of outer partitions in relation to compass points. The orientation of outer partitions is displayed and accounted for during calculations in Instal-heat&energy. When a project consists of several storeys and the compass rose is displayed on each storey, then any change in compass rose on one of the sheets results in the same change made on the other sheets.

To place a “Compass rose” component in the project drawing, select it from the “Components” toolbar and click the workspace at a selected point. You can move the compass rose or change its orientation by dragging the square with arrow displayed after marking the component.

If the compass rose is not placed in the worksheet, then it is assumed that North direction is to the top of the screen, and the orientation of outer walls is adjusted to this assumption and transferred to Instal-heat&energy.
