Path reinforcement - Adjusting U-Bar dimensions

Joe_Hughes — Wed, 13 May 2020 14:43:32 GMT

Hi,

I'm trying to use the path reinforcement function to model rebar. Please see the attached screen-shot for reference.

How could I change the "B" dimension of the U-Bar (highlighted blue) to 105mm? I want the B" dimensions of the U-bars on the perpendicular faces to remain 125mm.

Help appreciated.

Thanks,

Joe

@Joe_Hughes I believe, if I understand what you are trying to do. You will have to manual adjust the shape of rebar element. To modify a rebar sketch, Click Modify / structural rebar > Edit Rebar Sketch tab, Adjust the rebar sketch.

Otherwise you need to change the shape of the rebar.

you can use remove path system see screen shots

to avoid change for the other shapes make a duplicate to the shape from project browser families

@Ahmed_M_Heteba a follow-up question if I may; I would like to use the Multi Rebar Annotation to call-up the rebar, however I can only select one set of bars. I fear this is because the foundation slab is at a gradient 1:40. Is there a solution for this?

See screen shots attached for reference.

Thanks,

Joe
