Controling the Angular Orientation of a Fitting

To control the angular orientation of a fitting:

While editing the 3D sketch, sketch a construction line starting from a point in the 3D sketch.
Add the fitting to the point in the 3D sketch using one of the previous methods.
The new fitting is aligned such that its Vertical axis is aligned with the construction line.
