Can't rotate a vertical duct in plan view

Robert Nichols

I'm new to the MEP modeler (using v27), so might be missing something obvious. I've modeled a single-segment rectangular duct, that has a 10' foot run along the z-axis. No x or y - it's straight up or down. 

 

I can only draw it square to the project origin, but I need it to be rotated about 22 degrees in plan, because that's what the building does!!!

 

Not only can I not draw it in my preferred orientation, I can't seem to edit it either. The pet-pallet rotate tool is able to rotate the object, in plan, about some point that is NOT the duct's center, but doesn't rotate the duct itself about its own center.
