Single Rebar Distribution - Rebar tab

Used to define the rebar tags.

Use the settings to specify offset, spacing, and length values for the reinforcement.
SettingDescription
Properties
  • Bar Size – Sets the bar type (diameter), selected from the list.
  • Zone – Sets how to align the bar when placing it into the concrete element — Top, Bottom, Left, or Right.
  • Insertion Alignment – Sets the side the bar insertion aligned to —Center, Left, or Right.
  • Stirrups – When checked, defines the bar as a stirrup.
  • Create bar by points – Used to place the bars by selecting multiple points on your model. The bars will be placed along the line formed with data points.
  • Create bar by object – Used to select object in the view to define bar.
Distribution
  • Layout Method – Sets how the bars will be aligned when placed in the concrete.
  • Start Offset – Sets the distance from the edge of the defined boundary to the first bar in the series.
  • Spacing – Sets the distance between bars in the series.
  • End Offset – Sets the distance from the last bar in the series to the edge of the defined boundary.
  • Length – Indicates the distance covered by the series of bars. By default, the length is determined by your placement options. Use the Length field to specify a distance that is different than the points you select for placement.
  • Select path by points – Used to select a distribution direction for the series of bars.
  • Select path by object – Used to select object in the view to define path.
Rebar Transformation
  • X-Offset – Enter a value to shift the rebar in the X-direction.
  • Y-Offset – Enter a value to shift the rebar in the Y-direction.
  • Rotation - Type a rotation angle (in degrees). Click to rotate the bar by increments of 90°.
  • Transform – Used to either move, align, move and align, or leave the rebars as placed by selecting one of the options of transforming.
