Profile rotation

Szigeti.Eduard — Thu, 12 Nov 2020 15:18:29 GMT

I modelled this galvanized steel profile in a generic metric family and I need a few instances in my model.

The problem is that I can't rotate them in the model and if I rotate them in the family editor, when I upload them in the model, all my instances are rotating.

How can I rotate only one instance?

Thanks

@Szigeti.Eduard This is the wrong place for this question.

However I've made some quick amendments to your family using a sweep with a cleaned up parametric profile. Doing this allows you to set an instance based rotation on the profile (hence rotating your sweep). See what you think.

Eventually I figured it out that if I add a reference line and add the profile to it I can rotate it how I want.

Thank you for taking time to look at my model.
