Can't Rotate Element Into This Position

  I've downloaded the attached family from a vendor. I am trying to rotate it so that the valve is vertical, not horizontal. My pipe is running up/down, not left/right. I can not get it to rotate. Please let me know what I should be doing to rotate it. Thank you.

I think so! What simple thing was I missing to get it to rotate?

- edit the family and change it to Pipe Accessories category

- add a pipe connector on one side of the valve, or one on each side

- load it to your project and place it on a pipe of any direction and it would orient properly.
