SAP2000 Reorienting support reactions

SAP2000 Reorienting support reactions

(OP)
Is it possible to change the orientation of a support reaction? It seems like SAP resolves the reaction to two principle directions (say x and y). But what if I want the resolved reactions to be rotated some radians (without reorienting the entire model). Thanks

RE: SAP2000 Reorienting support reactions

If you want to rotate the restraints, right click on the target joint and double click on the local axes property(or select it and assign->joint->local axes). From there define the angle you wish and just press ok.(eg in 2d frame, assign 45 degrees in rotation about Y axi).
