SchmittenDesign Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 How do I rotate a post so it angles away from the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtldesigns Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Pict the post, use the arrow to rotate. If you have a line drawn of the angle you want it to be, use the parallel/perpendicular tool at the bottom and align with that line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I am assuming you want the post rotated in elevation. For that, I would use either a Polyline Solid drawn to the correct profile in the elevation view or a 3-D Box that is rotated in elevation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchmittenDesign Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 So I made the post into a polyline, but now what? My rotate/resize about current point or my angle dimension will not activate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this could be a version issue so please fill out your signature so we can give you proper advice based on what software you are using.

SchmittenDesign Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 This is an elevation of my posts. The one on the outside I would like to angle out towards the eave. POST.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgardner Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I believe this is more difficult for you in x11 and one of the main reasons that Eric mentions to have your version in your signature line. With this particular need it is usually done with a polyline-solid but the ability to manipulate solids from different angles was an x12 improvement which means that you would have to build your solid post already angled and not just rotate it in x11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
