Transverse Sections Top Zone Reinforcement Callout

The top zone of the column’s transverse reinforcements is annotated with a callout that uses the following syntax:
  • Size @Spacing
  • Offset
In this format string, Size is replaced by the bar designation and Spacing is replaced by the bar spacing formatted using the active coordinate readout. The Offset is replaced by the distance of the zone boundary to the top of the column. The information displayed in the callout is derived from values assigned to ISM reinforcement properties.
Note: No graphic cells are used to represent transverse sections in the schedule table. Instead, the Section Legend portion of the Concrete Column Schedule view provides a graphic representation of the transverse reinforcement pattern in the column.

Note: The Layout Path “Z” coordinates determine the extents of the zone. The difference between them is used to calculate the displayed offset.
