Parallel Reinforcement Bar Cell and Callout

A single reinforcement bar cell (defined by the Cells settings in the Graphical Column Schedule Settings - Concrete Column Schedule tab) is used to represent a group of parallel reinforcement bars. The bar also includes the end condition as specified by reinforcement ISM properties. The user-defined cell in the Cells section of the settings is used.

The parallel reinforcement callout is aligned (vertically) will the bar cell. The callout uses the following syntax:

(Count) Size

In this format string, Count is replaced by the total number of parallel bars, and Size is replaced by the bar designation. The information displayed in the callout is derived from values assigned to ISM reinforcement properties.
