Free Rotating Walls

Hi all...this may be a simple thing, but i can't find a solution.
 

I'm tracing an existing blueprint to make a 3D map, and the building has a lot of walls that are on an odd angle. However, when I try and draw a wall, it 'snaps' to a certain set of angles either too shallow or to wide of what i need.

 

Can't I unlock it and let me freely rotate the walls to the angle I need? Is it a preference that is set somewhere?

I would suggest rotating the floor plan first, so that you get most of the walls at standard angles (you can have problems with wall connections if walls aren't truly parallel/perpendicular to one another) and then set the Wall Angle in the dialog itself (if you override with Control or turning off Angle Snaps, you can end up with crazy 90.1124984 angled wall nonsense that just causes a headache down the line).
