Curtain Wall - Horizontal Rotate Axis

Hi all,

 

Is there some way to rotate the reference line of planar curtain walls? X/Y to Y/X

I am sure I have done if before you align with skewed buildings...

You can rotate planar CW to an angle up from xy plane in 3D view, please see attached (if that was what you wanted to achieve).

I am wanting a rotation around the z-axis, x/y to y/x. I ended up just rotating the entire curtain "wall" and redefining the boundaries...

Is it as simple as manually swapping the scheme column and row sizes with each other?

That works for a simple grid.

There are multiple instances using the same pattern, so it is easier to manage if they are consistent.
