Creating roof rafters within roof element

I want to model and show individual roof rafter elements and spacing between them as shown by my free handed drawing below. 

arap93_1-1669574634403.jpeg

 

I used the edge of the existing roof plane as my work plane to draw the first rafter profile and extrude out. 

 

One rafter is successfully created but the problem is, I cannot use that sample rafter to duplicate and move in perpendicular directions. 

 

It is stuck in the plane that the original one was created, in this case, the plane is the edge of the roof shown in yellow. 

 

Is there any way to duplicate and move member perpendicular to the work plane?  

 

If not, how else can these rafters be modeled.

[I want to stay away from the structural beam tools because those limit the ability to move or make exceptions to spacing for specific rafters or have double rafters in certain locations which is common in the real world.)

 

Is there a more free approach to modeling these rafters and moving them to specified locations manually? 

 

Thank you.

There is already a tool for that.  Try structural beam system hosting by the roof plane

I would suggest using Beam Systems for rafters. You can find Dimensional Lumber Structural Framing Families in the OOTB Content Library.

 

Regarding your specific issue, you need to uncheck "Constrain" on the Options Bar when you move or copy.
