Rebar Exact Point (REP) ( Modeling )
Tool summary :
- Locates points along the centerline of rebar material in Modeling . For example, vertex points at the center of each bar and at each end and at hooks.
These pointers show the position of rebar exact points through the centerline of rebar in Modeling . 
- You can also use Rebar Exact Point to locate noticed points .
- See locating a point using REP .

- X-Y-Z display (shows the point's coordinates)
- Annotation text ( Display Options in Modeling )
- Offset Controls (affect REP )
- Noticed points (may be created with REP )
- status line (shows a dimensional constraint, if one is entered)

Locating a point using Rebar Exact Point :
1 . Begin this operation in Modeling . In Modeling , members need to be displayed in a solids form in order for you to be able to locate rebar material vertex points.
1a : Invoke Construction Line Add or any other tool that permits the use REP as a Locate option.
2 . Various Locate icons become active, and the status line prompts you to locate a point.
2a : Select the REP icon or choose Locate > Rebar Exact Point or select ' REP ' on the Set Location Mode toolbar item or , if you want to use Auto point location, move your mouse pointer as described in step 2b.
Rebar Exact text indicates that REP is active 2b : Place the mouse pointer (
) so that the point location target (
) snaps to the vertex point that is closest to the mouse pointer. The X-Y-Z display shows the coordinates of the point. Left-click ( Locate ) to locate (place) a point at the center of the target.
2c : Continue to perform the operation you began in step 1a.
Tip: For second point location in the operation you began in step 1a, you can optionally type in a distance and/or angle to constrain the second point to the typed-in distance/angle from the first point. The distance/angle you type will be shown in brackets [ ] in the status line .
