Use a joist Direction Line to swing the Joists as needed, the Beams will follow if Auto generate is on....

 

You may also need to take control of the Plank Direction ( uncheck auto and spec yourself ) 

 

Otherwise you will need to turn off Auto Generate Deck Framing (* in the Room DBX ) and move items manually as needed.

Good day,

 

I am designing a deck around existing pool and garage. My issue is deck beams frame parallel to the garage (at an angle) and I need them to frame either horizontally or vertically.

How can I change deck beams framing reference so they frame either at 0 or 90 degrees?

If you are doing a structural deck plan for permits & construction, you'll need to make manual edits. If it's just for visualization, then probably best to make manual edits.

You may be able to force them in the direction you want (automaticallly) by adding some invisible walls. Experimentation!
