Dear Carrie,

1. I am not sure if you have tried the method under https://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm

It is easier to use an ordinary compass.

2. All you need to do is to determine the direction of the main entrance door with reference to the centrepoint.

3. If one has purchased a Chinese Luo Pan, one would have seen that the needle is small and `difficult' to read properly the exact compass direction. Here, one should use a large compass i.e. not hand held but big ones placed on a floor for greater accuracy.

4. The best method is to use the Surveyor's method as highlighed under the above URL mentioned.

5. Alternatively, simply get hold of a survey company and pay them to survey the direction of your main door.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
