Please see attachement. This is really something that bugs me and i cant seem to figure our how to correct it. I just want change the orientation of the purlins once the beam system has been placed ? i want to spin the whole beam system around so the purlins run up the pitch the correct way.

Thanks

wouldnt the purlins be better orientated as they are ( on top of the beam though).

so that the welded cleats the purlins are bolted to support the purlin making it easier to setout and build?

What i noticed in the orientation of purlins is base on how you creat your beam system boundary (not sure, just an observation)

so try to re-creat your boundary, from left to right or right to left and see if you'll get what you want.
