Rotating pipe hanger

I'm using 2019 support catalog. When I insert an Adjustable pipe roller w/ rod, it places the hanger on the bottom of the pipe with the rods facing down. I want the rods to face up but when I rotate the hanger, it rotates around the center of the pipe placing the roller hanger on top of the pipe with the rods in the vertical up position. I need the hanger to rotate around the center of the pipe roller in order to show the rods facing up with the roller on the bottom of the pipe.

Dear @MARTINAMEDEO2597 ,

 

please use the rotation grip (1)

But if you want to have this variant you have to create it via Python scripting because this type does not yet exist in the Plant 3D content.

I do use the rotation grip with the 2 rod roller hanger and it rotates the roller to the top of the pipe. it rotates around the center line of the pipe. I would like it to rotate around the center line of the pipe roller. That would keep the roller at the bottom of the pipe and rotate the rods in the vertical pointing up.

Thanks for your reply but since I don't know Python I guess I won't be able to get it to work. I can use the 3D rotate command, but I was hoping for an easier way in Plant 3D.

The way you want to use your support, it is not that easy to assemble because the support has to be assembled with the pipe. A screwed version of it does not make sense in terms of load.
