The Clear Reinforcing command may be issued for any Wall Panel or Coupling Beam. Clearing the reinforcing on a Wall Panel forces it to be redesigned by subsequent uses of the Design All or View/Update commands. That is, any manual or user-manipulated reinforcing assigned to the Wall Panel will be deleted and the next time the design is run for the Wall Design Group, the optimization will choose the best Bar Pattern for the Wall Panel from the Bar Pattern Template. Clearing the reinforcing on a Coupling Beam will likewise delete any user-assigned reinforcing and the next time the design is run, the Coupling Beam will be reinforced using the global Coupling Beam reinforcing criteria.
