Longitudinal Bar Defaults
Used to set default preferences
to longitudinal bars.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Color / Weight | These defaults control placement of all circles drawn to represent longitudinal (or transverse) reinforcement adjacent to main bars in section. Simply select the Color and Weight from the drop down lists. |
| Filled Circles | When checked, draws all longitudinal bar circles as filled elements. |
| First/Last Only | When checked, draws only the first and last bar of a bar group with all internal circles removed (for example, to clarify a congested area of bars). |
| Stroke-Thru | When checked, draws strike through pattern to longitudinal bar. |
Note: When placement of
any new bar begins, the
Longitudinal Bar Defaults are immediately loaded into
the bar as attributes to that bar. From that moment on, they are referred to as
Longitudinal Bar Attributes and can be modified at any stage during the
detailing process, thereby allowing you to override their current ‘default’
values. Although all new bars always start with the same initial Longitudinal
Bar Defaults, they might eventually be saved with completely different
Longitudinal Bar Attributes. These attributes can only be changed while placing
or modifying a bar.
