How to rotate vertically "parallel chord" (steel joist bar element) library object?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to model metal roof structure in ArchiCAD 24.

I use complex profile for steel beams (which works perfect).
Then I also try to use "parallel chord" library object. However, I don't see the option to rotate it vertically.
Is it possible to do so?

I have read that library objects can't be rotated vertically (without messing with GDL). So how do you model metal roof with steel joists rotated vertically?

Thank you,

Roman

Thank you Barry,

This is something new. I didn't know about such option.
I appreciate your comment.
