alfonso Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 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.

DavidJPotter Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Turn ON the framing layer for Roof Rafters in plan view, select and then rotate the object, manually. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfonso Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 You can copy auto built framing and reuse it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfonso Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 Eric, I didn't like the "I don't think you can" answer, but at least it keeps me from going crazy!!! Your work around sound do-able. Thanks much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
