Hi;

I have created a fairly complicated support system for a metal building which spans the entire building with 4 columns

and associated beams at pitch.

I created this in front view in the family and it flexes well however when I bring it into my building and place it on the slab

I am unable to rotate it ( I want it to be oriented North to South but it comes in East to West)

I have worked with Inventor for 15 years and expected the same flexibility that Inventor provided but can't seem to find a solution

in Revit

Any suggestions woulld be greatly appreciated!!

Is it hosted to the level, face based or are you hosting it to a vertical work plane?
