Nodal supports are usually defined with regard to the global axis system. However, it is sometimes necessary to rotate the nodal support. For example, for a floor slab with a pile foundation. For geological reasons, the piles do not rest in the ground vertically, but in an inclined position. Each end point of the piles has a nodal support that can only absorb forces along the pile foundation direction. Therefore, rotating the nodal support is required. Various options for this are described in previous posts.
