How do I make a rotated panel draw properly in the 2D elevation?

I am trying to place a wall panel on a bulkhead using the "Misc Panel" product (this is just a test file as I am still learning the program so I found the most generic panel product that I could). The panel face of this product is parallel to the ground by default, so the "Height" is actually the thickness of the material. In order to make it a wall panel rather than a ceiling panel I had to add a 90 degree X Rotation in the CutParts design data.

This worked for the 3D model and 2D cut section, however, the 2D elevation would show the part in its original rotation (the correct width but with the height as the thickness of the material). There were no 2D Elv View Instructions in the prompts tab, so I added a DRAWRECTANGLE function and referenced the width and depth of the product for the rectangle dimensions. This works and I can see the new rectangle with the correct dimensions on the elevation, but the rectangle with the original rotation still shows up on the elevation.

Is there a way to prevent the original block from drawing, or rotate it correctly in the 2D elevation so I don't need to add the DRAWRECTANGLE function?
