AFN Simulation Control Azimuth Angle

Hello there, This might be a silly newby question, but I have a doubt about AFN: Simulation Control-Azimuth Angle of Long Axis of Building. Suposing my Buildin is 15 degrees from north, my AFN Angle of Long Axis of Building should be equaly 15deg. Now suposing my Buildin is -15 degrees from north (witch means 345deg in the Building North Axis object) what should be my correct AFN Angle of Long, since E+ in that object does not accept negative or higher than 180 deg values? Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance Edit:Edit:I reviewed my ancient trigonométric class notes and got a trigo aproach. We are working here in the 2o quadrant where the bearing is 180 minus azimuth. For the 1o quadrant (the original fig 1.114) bearing equals azimuth.image description
