How to change the orientation (local axis) of the members/plates without remodeling the structure?
First select the members or the plates for which you would like to change the local axis orientation. Then depending on the entity type ( beam or plate ) choose the appropriate option mentioned next
For beam members, go to Tools > Redefine Incidence and choose an appropriate option.
For plates, go to Command > Geometric Constants > Plate Reference Point and set the reference point to which ( or away from which ) the local Z would point.
