3D Symbol Window Insertion into a wall is going in Perpendicular

[Kate Smith]

I have been trying to insert a triangular window into a wall that I have altered the shape of to be a triangle as well (for an a-frame house). I am using vectorworks 2020.  I have modelled my 3D symbol and created a symbol so that I can access it again in the resource manager. When I go to insert my window into my wall, to wall turns red and I am assuming I should release to place it in the wall, but it gets placed in, perpendicualr to the wall. I have tried to rotate the window in a top plan view, but the entire wall just rotates as well. I have notied that although it is going in perpendicular, it still cuts out a hole in the wall. Just wondering if there is a possible soulution to this problem, or if there is another was to go about doing this. Thank you.

@Kate Smith, if your window is a symbol, you might want to try editing the symbol and rotating the window 90 degrees in plan view

The symbol should be drawn as if it is inserted in a Wall running horizontally in Top/Plan view. It will then rotate properly into walls at other angles.

@Wes GardnerThanks for your reply, I was able to edit it while in the wall and it worked!
