How do I rotate a framing member?

I am struggling with this.  I'm trying to rotate the rafter block (shown above roof) so that it lays flat on roof.  I can't find the rotate handle at the end of the member.  How does one rotate it?  Changing the angle in the dialog box spins the member around the z-axis.

David, I tried this.  But in the plan view, I am looking down on the object and I can only rotate around the z-axis.  I want to rotate it around the y-axis.  I have also tried to do a back-clipped cross-section so I can look at the ends of the object.  However, in that view, I can't find any rotate handles to manually turn it.  Am I missing the point?  Thanks for your help.

You are trying to rotate 90 degrees like this, plus a bit more so it's laying flat on the roof? I don't think you can.

 

What are you trying to accomplish? 

 

Give us the problem instead of your proposed solution.
