How can I change the orientation of the event to reconcile it with my model?

I have built my model without using the wizards and the orientation of my model and the path in the J-turn event is different. How can I change the orientation of the event path/road so it aligns with mine?

    Hi Niraj - You can rotate the road reference marker by clicking on it and re-orienting it with one of the 3 global axes, or using any reference point if it doesnt align with the global axes. 

     

    Thanks,

    Thank you, Ananth for your help. I tried your suggestion but in the double lane change event, the flat road aligned with the model but the cones didn't. Also, the event didn't proceed further than the initial 0-time step. There were warnings about row deficiency and redundant constraints. Should I deactivate those joints and run the event? The last message printed was,

    Execution continues but the results, if dynamic analysis, may be incorrect!

    What may be the cause and how can I mitigate this error?
