OpenBridge Modeler

Home Ribbon Tab

Contains commonly used tools for creating and concrete detailing.

Note: For details on the Selection tools, refer to the Selection group on the OpenBridge Modeler workflow Home ribbon tab.
Table 1. Rebar Placement group
Tool name Description


Beam Reinforcing
Opens the Beam Reinforcing dialog, which is used to enter values that define a single reinforcement cage for a concrete beam.


Column Reinforcing
Opens the Column Reinforcing dialog, which is used to enter values that define a single reinforcement cage for a concrete column.
Pad Footing Reinforcing

Pad Footing Reinforcing
Opens the Pad Footing Reinforcing dialog, which is used to enter values that define your pad footing reinforcement.


Continuous Footing Reinforcing
Opens the Continuous Footing Reinforcement dialog, which is used to add reinforcement to continuous (i.e., strip) footings.


Wall/Panel RebarSet
Opens the RebarSet - Wall/Panel dialog, which is used to enter values that define your panel reinforcement.


Slab Reinforcing
Opens the RebarSet - Slab dialog, which is used to enter values that define your slab reinforcement.


Single Rebarset
Opens the RebarSet - Single dialog, which is used to add a single rebarset to a concrete object.


Single Rebar
Opens the Single Rebar dialog, which is used to place or edit a single reinforcing bar in a concrete element.


Single Rebar Distribution
Opens the Single Rebar Distribution dialog, which is used to add a single rebar distribution to a concrete object.


Irregular Dispatch Reinforcing
Opens the Irregular Dispatch Reinforcing dialog, which is used to add a custom —or irregular— reinforcing distribution to a concrete object.
Table 2. Face Based Rebar group
Tool name Description


Associative Extraction
Used to extract an associative face and edge from a solid or surface. The extracted faces and edges still maintain their association with the parent solids.


Associative Intersection
Used to create an associative intersecting edge between two associative faces of a solid, including that of rebars.


Associative Slice
Used to create associative cross-section slices on solid along a path.


Variables
Opens the Variables dialog, which is used to create and manage variables and variations for the active model.
Table 3. Numbering group
Tool name Description


Positioning
Opens the Positionflags and Positioning dialog, which is used to create or automatically generate position numbers and flags for parts in a 3D model for final detailing.
Table 4. Rebar Utilities group
Tool name Description


Rebar/Concrete Codes
Opens the Codes Manager dialog, which is used to specify code units and select the current concrete code.


Bar Analytics
Opens the Bar Analytics dialog, which is used to view information about rebar existing in the active model.


Manual Marking
(Technical Preview) Used to attach User Marks to 3D rebar in addition to regular Bar Marks generated during Rebar Positioning. While it is advised to use Bar Marking generated with the Positioning tool, User Marks are very flexible and should be used in scenarios that Positioning cannot accommodate.
