Beam orientation (please, help!!!)

Hi, I'm trying to make a set of parametric beams, but as you can see in the picture, the orientation varies ramdomly as I move the points that defines the axis of the beam. Does anyone knows how to set the orientation acording to gravity in real life?

Tnx.

Oriented the planes.

Also angles are in radians in Grasshopper so I fixed that for you as well.
