If I set the North Arrow component to a specific degree, do I still have to rotate model?

Hi all,

I am having a building but I modeled it facing the y-direction of Rhino. Its north however has a digression of 15 degrees toward the west. If I connect a 15 slider bar to the NorthArrow component in LadyBug, do I still need to rotate the actual building?

Thanks,

The NorthArrow component is just a visual aid.
All (most) of the simulation recipes (daylight and energy) usually have a North input to set the real orientation of the model. You should pay attention to that when simulating.
