I cannot see the point of flipping/reversing floorplan except for having a new layout. Can you please explain?

don't flip it, invert it

rotating it 360° is the only way to go

North is always the top of the paper. Plans are ALWAYS orientated with North at the top of paper. We are preparing these drawings to help facilitate construction. And if it is freezing cold in the dead of winter, I don't want the contractor adding up dimensions or trying to figure out building orientation. That is how mistakes happen.

You can flip a floorplan and still have north pointing upwards on your paper

sure, don't care what you do as long as North is top of paper.

it depends where you staple it - staples are always on your left hand.

North is always up unless you're in the Southern Hemisphere.

I'm red-lining a large set of tender docs right now and true north is aprox 10 degree clockwise... yet the staff that set up the docs decided to set project north rotated 90 degree clockwise. It's a mess.

North is always up, or the main entrance is at the bottom of the sheet. There should be a north arrow on every plan sheet anyway, and this whole thing becomes a wasted discussion.

North is always up, except when it's not, which in the real world (residential, anyway, where I work) is pretty common. In fact I would say that most plans I've seen by others prioritize the entrance being on the bottom of the page.

North is always up until your boss tells you otherwise.

I don't think this topic was/is intended to be about where a north arrow points on a printed floorplan.
