  • With the #105: French Stair opening still selected, enter 90 in the Rotation field.

  • The #105: French Stair will be rotated 90°.

  • Alternatively, we could just click the Swap button in the Dimensions section to swap the Height with the Width for this template, but this would not work with all templates.
