Rotate an object on Z axis

[alexgantsidis]

Hello all , please i need your help.

I want to build a Ship on Revit. So, i am building the bottom of the ship, that it is a curved surface. 

How can i Rotate the curved surcase from point to East, lookin into the sky? Meaning, pointing from X axis, to Z.

I want to "lay it down" like i bowl. 

Please help

Difficult to answer as it depends on how it was created. But you can try:

1. Select the element and check for an unlock icon.  Unlock it and you may be able to rotate it.
2. You could model it in the correct orientation to start with.

I will start modeling it in the right orientation as you said, but any suggestion on how to make curved lines? So i can draw it with my specific curves, not only with half circle option.

Did you approach it as mass with surface division/uv grid? Not entirely sure what you're trying... If you say 'lay it down' do you mean as model or as drawing?
