Complex Rebar Shapes

Good day guys, I hope you're well. I wanted to ask how one can model the rebar displayed in the detail below (Picture 1). It's a detail of rebar at the base of the circular tank shown in the picture (Picture 2).

@takundat1

Did you try to sketch them or try use multi-planer rebars and it didn"t work?

All looks kinda standard and nothing that complex...Which part specifically did not work?

@RDAOU, isn't it because of the circular geometry of the tank, the rebar has to be free form?

@takundat1

Sorry I thought you were referring to the the Multiple bend in the column

For the circular ring wall foundation, you can use Aligned distribution...select all the concrete faces that the bar needs to follow and then a distribution path (the two edges that make a full circle) The distance will be measured at the distribution path.

Check also this video tutorial from Autodesk it covers almost all the elements you have in that model
