Hi Chris,

You can rotate a wall in the floor plan but you can't rotate a wall in the space.
Anyway, the wall tool is not the best resource to simulate a beam in Punch, because it has not bottom / cap, it has only the vertical sides (in MLP 10.5 they have caps)

You can try this work around
With the help of the freehand roof tool (Roofing tab--> 7th icon) draw a the plan of the beam--> set the same pitch of the main roof--> set the elevation so it will appear under the main roof--> apply colors, etc
See attached

Of course, if you prefer, you can create a beam object with the 3D workshop and set it under the roof

Thanks Patricia, I tried your suggestion of using a narrow bit of roof, but couldn't work out how to thicken it vertically. When I finally got around to using the 3D Workshop properly I managed to make a very pretty beam and fit several copies in place - thanks. Chris.
