Display Mode

Select how rebar displays on your drawing:

  • Line – Rebar and stirrups display as a single line
  • Cylinder – Rebar and stirrups display as three dimensional extruded cylinders
Alternate Depth Each Section When checked, the plane of the bars alternates each segment of the opening. That is, for one segment, the parallel bars will be outside of the perpendicular bars and the next adjacent segment the parallel bars will be inside of the perpendicular bars. The plane of the parallel bars for one segment will be the same as the plane of the perpendicular bars on the next segment.
Protrusions Use these options to either truncate or bend long Parallel or Corner bars that would otherwise protrude from the border of the concrete.
  • Handle Border – Set this option to instruct the program to automatically handle protruding bars by either:
    • Wrap – bars are bent.
    • Truncate – bars are cut.
