Problem

An end plate connection is placed rotated by 90 degrees, contrary to required. How can this connection then be turned ? 

Solution

The connecting profile is a rectangular hollow section. This plays a role with connections and here the profile has been inserted rotated by 90 degrees. 

Now, in the PS Properties, if the profile is again rotated using the -90 or +90 degree button, the connection also rotates.





In this manner, one can control the orientation of the connection by selecting the position / rotation of the connecting member.
