You can do it in a few ways.  Edit the family and click on the pole.  Click on the blue restraint lock and you should then be able to rotate it.  Or align your workplane to the reference plane and then extrude it (see set work plane). Or create the pole using a sweep rather than an extrusion.

I made the circular profile in plan level and extrude it. But the problem is the constrains when I want to make it at 45 degrees. I could do a fixed one at 45º but then it wont be parametric. And a thatch roof as different angles.

If you created it as a family it may be constrained to be verical - see image.

Thank you for your help but I cant do it.

Going to make a fixed family without the parametric propoerties.

Its not the best but works.
