Here's how to change the orientation:

Go to ‘Layout Settings’

1. Select Chart - Click on the main background area of your org chart to select the entire structure.
2. Layout Properties - In the right-side properties panel, look for a section called "Layout" or "Org Chart Layout."
3. Orientation - Find an option for "Orientation" or "Direction." It likely has a dropdown menu.
4. Switch Orientation - Change the setting from "Left to Right" (or similar) to "Top to Bottom."

I couldn’t find where Layout Settings is. File, Edit, Select, View, Insert, Arrange, Share, Help, Binocular (Icon), is what I am seeing.

Hi @mbetila, thanks for clarifying - and thanks @Ria S for your suggestions! 

We do not have a feature available to automatically reorder or reorganize shapes or flowcharts if they’ve been created manually. Two exceptions to this are: 

• Org charts in Lucidchart can be reoriented by opening the contextual panel and selecting your preferred layout style. 

• A mind map in Lucidspark is able to be reoriented from left to right to up and down by selecting the mind map shape and choosing the orientation. 

If an automatic reorientation of a flowchart built manually with shapes and lines is a feature that would be useful to you, we’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products. You can submit an idea to our team! Please first search the Product Feedback section of this community (with the filter Topic Type = Idea) to see if it’s already been submitted. If so, please add any additional details you’d like and upvote the request - this consolidation helps to refine feedback and properly capture the popularity of the request.

If no one has submitted this idea yet, please create one of your own and be sure to include details about your use case or what you’d like to see in this experience. This will also allow other users with similar requests to discover and upvote it, then details of their own.
