Add Rebar Run ( Modeling )
Tool summary :
On the member edit windows (e.g., the Concrete Wall Edit window), the leaves for the rebar run " Component " are contained in the [ Rebar properties ] section.
You can edit the tabs using the settings under that leaf, or you can double-click a rebar run to open up this window (shown at left). To open this window, double-click the Rebar Run material while the " Selection filter " is set to ' Default ' or ' All ' or ' Custom Components ''.

To add the Rebar Run custom component :
To add the custom component: 1 ) In Modeling , select a member. 2 ) Choose Model > Component > Add . 3 ) On the custom component selection list, choose ' Rebar Run ' as the custom component that you want to add. 4 ) Locate the left end of the first rebar run by left-clicking ( Locate ) to select its first point. After you enter the first point, the Locate-OK-Cancel mouse bindings become active. 5 ) Enter the second point of the run by left-clicking ( Locate ), then middle-click ( OK ) to accept the points. 6 ) The Rebar Run Edit window opens. Enter the settings that you want, then press " OK " to close the window. 7 ) If User and Site Options > Modeling > " Automatically process after modeling operation " is set to ' Process and create solids ', the bars will be generated immediately. If not, the bars will be generated on the concrete member the next time the member undergoes Process and Create Solids .
To delete a Rebar Run custom component: 1 ) Select the component in the Model Tree . 2 ) Press the Delete key (or choose Edit > Delete ). 3 ) Process and Create Solids is required when User and Site Options > Modeling > " Automatically process after modeling operation " is not set to a choice that makes create solids take place automatically.
In the Model Tree , the Rebar Run custom component is listed as Rebar Run @ ( [ x, y, z ] ) when " View By " is set to ' Member piecemark ' or ' Member number '. The Rebar Run component is listed under its member, after that member's connection components ( Left End and Right End ), and before that member's submaterials.
To edit a Rebar Run custom component or review its settings, you can find the member it is added to and open its edit window. The component's settings will be contained in that window in a section named [ Rebar properties ]. To edit a Rebar Run custom component without opening the member edit window, use the Model Tree . You also can use the Selection Filter toolbar item to select the ' Custom Components ' filter and double-click the bar in the component to edit the component. The Component Selection Tool can also be used to edit (and find) custom components.

A Rebar run component is automatically set to "
Graphical " whenever you make graphical changes to the rebar. For example, when you Edit Material or apply the Extend Rebar Ends tool on the rebar shape. This stops the component from being changed during Process and Create Solids . Click here for more information.
Instead of allowing the component to be made "
Size: A size designation that has been entered to the Rebar Definitions Setup window under the " Active rebar standard ".
Specification: A615 or A706 or etc. This is an ASTM specification entered into the Rebar Specifications window.
Grade: 60 or 40 or etc. This is the yield strength (grade) of the rebar.
The grade choices in this list box are limited to those entered in the Rebar Specification window for the " Specification " chosen for this rebar.
Coating: None or a Coating designation that is available in the " Standard " that you have selected.
The coating choices in this list box are limited to those entered in the Rebar Specification window for the " Specification " chosen for this rebar shape.
Select ' None ' if you do not want a coating. Since it is possible to create specifications that do not have coatings, it is possible that ' None ' may be your only option.
User configuration: If a coating is not available for selection, selecting a different " Specification " will make that coating available if the coating you want is in that other standard. If you don't want to change to a different " Specification ," you can open the Rebar Specifications window and add the coating you want to the specification that you currently have selected.
Schedule group: Any non-negative integer with less than ten digits. Your choice of schedule group is not limited by any configuration option. The group applies to this member only -- see special case below.
Reason to assign a schedule group: The output of the Rebar List Report , Rebar in Member Report , and Bend Schedule custom reports can be limited to particular schedule groups. As a result, you can assign rebar shape material to different schedules, and create separate reports for rebar from each schedule.
A special case: You change the schedule group on this rebar shape. If you press " Yes " when prompted " Do you want regenerate... ," the changed schedule group is applied to ALL rebar matching the options checked in the Change All Options window.
User configuration: You can open the Report Manager window or the Table Edit window to copy, create, or edit rebar custom reports. " Edit " the report to add a comma-delimited list of schedule groups that the custom report will select.
Rebar length: A distance (in the primary dimension " Units " or other units ). This is the maximum bar length for bar segments in the rebar run. If the run exceeds this length, multiple bar segments will be spliced together.
