support orientation

Hi, my pin supports are orientated in the z direction but should in my case be in the y direction.  It shouldnt affect my model, however I didnt notice I needed to change my direction for the mass of the tunnel and was acting like a side node.

 

So in summary, can I change the orientation, its bugging me.

 

Also, how can one check the sum of all the forces in the model. for a solid element.   The reactions table shows all the separate nodal reactions but not the total.  

 

Regards

I thought that was where to check but then I have a problem. The live load sum of forces is incorrect. The load is 4200kpa, 0.2x3.5 area. therefore total should be 2940.

Am I missing Something

A linear 2 point load gives the correct sum of forces.  Not preferable though to use this
