create rotated construction/sketch planes ?

How can you rotate sketch planes in Revit so you can create pipe structures like legs for a chair which are not going

along the typical xyz directions?

 

In Inventor or Fusion 360 I would create a sketch plane at an angle and thats it.

 

I noticed that for example all Herman Miller furniture products are rebuild right inside Revit utilizing such rotated planes.

That I understand, but also Inventor or Fusion 360 struggle significantly at something so basic like drawing a 3D curve. The mass system in Fusion allows me doing it - the furniture family does not.

The furniture in general is simplified in Revit anyway but a pipe leg that is not planar cannot really be represented with planar pipes. thats the main problem for me.
