Hey,

you need to rotate the curve before Beam component, or if the curve is a straight line: just swap the start vertex (point) with end vertex.

@w.radaczynski thanks for taking time, well thats the last option we have but i have modelled it at 0 angel at 0,0,0 which i actually prefer, but now i have to rotate it is there any other option that enable to move or rotate objects in tekla through grasshopper like we can play with position same way if could rotate ?

As far as I know: there is no way to change those objects like this. You can import this objects and export. To modify them you will probably have to use custom scripting to access API (C#).

I don’t understand why @w.radaczynski advice with swap of the start end points would not work?
Here is the one with rotation around start point as well.
