| Display Mode
|
Sets the mode how rebar displays on your drawing:
-
Line – Displays rebar as single lines
only.
-
Cylinder – Displays rebar as extruded
cylinders.
|
| Extend to Cover
|
When checked, the length of rebar extends to the
edge of concrete minus the cover distance.
|
| Create Vary Sets
|
When checked, enables creating vary codes. Vary
Sets are detected (default is
ON).
|
| Embed All Bars
|
When checked, embeds all size bars in rebar. All
bars are embedded in the concrete. This comes into play when Number of Bars
Each Length is greater than 1.
For instance, if
is
OFF, and
Number Bars Each Length is
2, then the bar closer to the trapezoid
edge of the concrete may stick out, or be closer to the edge than the Side
Clearance, the bar farther from the trapezoid edge of the concrete is located
at the Side Clearance (see examples below.) Default is
ON.
|
| Group By Long Bars
|
When checked, the rebar groups longer bars. The bar
is grouped starting at the long end of the Vary Set. This comes into play when
Number of Bars Each Length is greater than
1, AND the total quantity of bars in the
vary set are not evenly divisible by
Number of Bars Each Length (see examples
below.). Default is
ON.
|
| Minimum Number of Groups/Bars
|
Sets the minimum groups necessary for vary set.
Requires a whole number as the input. Sets the minimum number of adjacent bars
which vary in length at and even (or non-linear) rates to be considered a Vary
Set (default is
3).
|
| Number of Bars Each Group/Each Length
|
Sets the quantity of bars a group can have. Requires
a whole number as the input. Rather than having all bars in a Vary Set be a
different length, and thus need to be cut at different lengths, fabricators
like to group 2 or more bars at each vary length for fewer cuts (see examples
below). Default is
1.
|
| Maximum Increment
|
Sets the incremental factor for bars –the maximum
variance length from one bar to the next. If the bar lengths along the
trapezoid edge vary in length by more than this value they are not considered a
Vary Set (default is
1' or
300mm).
|
| Maximum Differential
|
Sets the differential factor for bars –the maximum
variance length from the first bar to the last bar. If the bar lengths from one
end of the trapezoid edge to the other end vary in length by more than this
value they are not considered a Vary Set (they can be broken down into multiple
Vary Sets). Default is
30' or
10000mm.
|
| Vary Code
|
Determines how Bar Marks are assigned within Vary
Sets, and can be set independently for Straight (bar) Vary Sets and Bent (bar)
Vary Sets.
- Straight – Sets
the vary code mark for straight
- Bent – Sets the
vary code mark for bent
Sets the vary code marked with
S(Same),
A(Auto) or
G(Group).
- A – Auto
Mark – (default value for Bent Vary Sets) assigns incrementally
increasing Bar Marks to each different length of bar within the Vary Set.
- L -
Letter Appended - assigns
Letter Appended Barmarks. It is possible to have
bars in one Vary Set labeled as for example,
11a,
11b,
11c and so on.
- S – Same
Mark – (default value for Straight Vary Sets) assigns the Same Bar
Mark to all bars within the Vary Set.
- G – Group
Mark – (same as
S unless you have aSa.Takeoff) assigns
the Same Bar Mark to all bars within the Vary Set. In aSa.Takeoff it also
groups the bars under one tag.
