How to change orientation of tubing run when placing initial node?

I'm trying to do some tubing runs. I made a new tube style for some pneumatic air hose we use. When placing the initial node in the run I can't figure out how to change the direction of the hose. It always wants to make the run go into the fitting instead of come out of it (see image below). You can see the red arrow goes the complete wrong direction.

 

After I place it it has some arrows for rotating the axes but that does nothing for the tubing direction. Thanks.

Hi @WillL84 

What happens when you place each fitting and run the hose in between?

Press the Space Bar on your key board. It will reverse the direction of the fitting.

Cheers,

Igor.
