Change Roof Rafter Direction To Run Parallel to Baseline?

[HumbleChief]

I think I remember a thread or two regarding the subject and am working on an older house that has a parapet roof with the roof rafters running parallel to the baseline (versus the default perpendicular) and haven't found a method to reproduce the condition. I'm aware that Chief does not like to frame this way and can probably take care of any details/sections pretty easily but am curious about methods or workarounds.

 

Oh yeah the roof is not flat but only 1/4" ft slope.

 

Thanks

So you would like the pitch to run the long direction and the framing to run the short direction ?

 

Looks like Eric solved it again.   Your Signature could use an update Larry.

You want the rafters running like this?

 

 

You can tilt the baseline.

Yeah that works. Never tilted a baseline before, never knew you could. Good stuff. Thanks

Worked a treat, never knew Chief could do such things but a really nice fix. THANKS!

How exactly did you "tilt" the baseline? I seem to only be able to rotate it, which then changes my slope direction. Thanks!

Never mind, I found the option;  for any future users:  baseline angle under general tab in roof. This allows for a roof pitch opposite the baseline direction
