rotate symbol in elevation/section?

[johnnyprc]

OK, so I wanted to make a custom trellis member, so made a symbol of an object I created with the cut end I wanted. Brought it in to my file, can easily rotate in plan view, but I can't rotate in elevation/section view to make it a pitched trellis??

I see I can open the symbol and change its rotation manually - but that can't be the only way to rotate - is it?

****Added:

OK, so I just verified that I can rotate just about everything else in that view using the rotate handle - are you seriously telling me that I can't rotate an symbol intuitively?
