Curved Truss Hanging Angle

[GBarrett]

First poster, long time lurker.

I need to change the hanging angle of a curved truss. Tried switching to front view and drawing the curve but it lays flat on the Z-axis. Tried rotate 3D along z-axis on object center while in top plan, but no dice.

The goal is to show a ground supported truss arch.

I guess I need to change my working plane and re-draw the truss forced to that plane but I do not know how to do that.

Thanks in advance,

Assuming you are using the Spotlight Truss tool (and not any of the hybrid truss symbols from the library)...

Draw the truss flat on the ground plane. In the OIP at the very bottom select "Draw 3D Only".

You can now rotate the truss around any axis.
