Beams Fliping

Hello I'm doing a ceiling and I'm trying to use the beam tool with a complex profile to do it, but when I use the the beam tool with the Rectangular option the beams flips, Here is a Screencast of it

Thought when I use the single or chained method it does not flip, but I would like to know why is happening this, cause using the square method will save me a considerably amount of time per project whenever I have this ceilings designs.

Here is also a screenshot of the profile I'm Using

Hi all,

I came across this myself today. It appears that when you pick up the properties from a previously mirrored beam, it can flip the reference position.
Hope this helps someone.
