How to place rebar in a curved wall?

Hello - I have a client who deals with silo's and needs to place rebar into the curved wall - what is the best way to do this?

Thank!

Placing rebar in a curved element depends on which direction you want the outside bars to run.

If you want the longitudinal (curved) bars to be on the outside/inside faces, you can either sketch the curved bar against the cover (which on finish sketch would become Rebar Shape 09 in the US template) or you can place these curved shapes directly.

If the vertical bars are placed against the cover, if the bars have hooks, they will be turned inside.

You will be able to use sets for the "horizontal bars".  However, you will need to use a circular/radial array to distribute the vertical bars.
