Rotate glazing roof with grid

[jekabs.smits]

I need to rotate in plan a flat glazing roof, but when I do so, it rotates the roof, but its grid and mullions doesn't rotate. I know I can rotate the grid afterwards, but it seems counterintuitive to rotate them one by one. Why aren't they rotating together, or am I doing something wrong?

You mean this?

It would be nice if they could provided an option for sloped glazing/curtain grid to align with the element the same way model patterns have.  Alas, you have to rotate the grid manually via properties or via the Config grid layout symbol.

Too bad. If I don't know the precise angle to match both the panel and its grid, then they won't line up correctly. This way it creates problems with mullions being placed incorrectly, and also the bordering panels don't report their dimensions for scheduling.

Another approach is create the glazing using curtain system by mass face.  When you need to rotate, rotate the source mass and update the curtain system with on click.

A possible approach to this could be using a trick by saving and then importing the Roof as a Linked Revit File. As long as the File remains linked it is ok ...but if you try to bind it it will spoil the grid...Have a look to my screencast!

You can Mirror your gazing roof and then rotate it, It works without saving it as a new Revit file and copy paste

This is the right answer.
