Does anyone know if you can rotate a beam section? For instance, I have a HSS8x4 that I would like use in the horizontal orientation (weak axis beanding for gravity loads)

Beams are always vertical, plumb in RAM SS. You could modify the master table and beam tables, adding a new section called HSS4x8x... for example and achieve the desired result in this case, but for a wide flange that might not be an option.
