View/Update Dialog - Bar Patterns Tab

Bar Patterns

This tab allows the user to replace the reinforcing in the selected Wall Panel with a new Bar Pattern. When a new Bar Pattern is selected in the combo box, the reinforcing in the respective Wall Panel (including manual and user-defined reinforcing) is deleted and the bars are placed in the Wall Panel according to the selected Bar Pattern.

The Wall Panel that is affected by the change is the Wall Panel that contains the most recently selected Section Cut Segment in the 3D window. This Section Cut Segment is colored orange in the 3D window, as shown in Figure below. In order to save the changes that were made, Update Database must be issued prior to exiting the View/Update dialog.

Selected Bar Pattern will apply to Wall Panel corresponding to selected (orange) section cut segment.
