Associative Slice

A new Associative Slice tool is introduced as a Technology Preview. Used for creating associative cross-section slices on a given solid along a path. This functionality further aids detailers when reinforcing complex shapes, especially solids that are extruded on arcs and curves.

Improved Irregular Dispatch Reinforcing

Previously, the use of Irregular Dispatch Reinforcement on Associative Intersections, on some occasions, yielded distorted bars which had to be manually corrected by reversing guidelines. The enhanced workflow now takes care of guideline direction, modeling correct geometry for bars, and restricts reversing guideline directions only to create crossed bars. It is no longer required to reverse bars because of bar crossing.

Additionally, bars with reversed guidelines are now marked to be visually distinguishable, and can be toggled, when required to generate normal bars.

Improved Lapped Bars Detailing

Previously, lapped range bars were detailed as a whole run and had one delimiter. A newly added variable "DOLG" can be found in the display.sys file which controls the detailing behaviours of such bars. (located in: \\Configuration\WorkSpaces\[workspace]\Standards\ProStructures\Rebar\Detailing\Metric\)

If detailing lapped range bars as whole run with one delimiter is required, then DOLG = 0 must be used. If each bar range requires a separate delimiter, set DOLG = 1 (default).

Letter Appended Bar Marks for Vary Set Bars

The ability to add Letter Appended Barmarks is now available on the Options tab of all reenforcement tools having Vary Sets capabilities. Resulting from this, it is now possible to have bars in one Vary Set labeled as for example, 11a, 11b, 11c and so on.

Item Type Properties in Rebar Labels

Item Types with Custom, User Properties can be added to Concrete and Reinforcement elements. Those properties can be then included in Rebar Labels using following code structure:
