Create rotating family

[jason.harcourtE9D7U]

Hi all, I have REVIT LT and I'm looking to create a panel/timber family I can rotate and use on a roof. Can't seem to do it. Any help is appreciated

Create a work plane based family and you can place it on a face or a reference plane.

What is this "panel/timber" building component that you are modeling as a loadable family?

Use sloped glazing and create a system panel type for SIP.

Why don't you do this in the Project with a System Family Type? It would make a better BIM model.

...Roofs, Walls, Floors, Curtains are all System Family Types.
