Does anybody know where images are saved for rebar shapes, which we are able to see in Revit project file.

These are not saved images. They are drawn base on the rebar shape definition. You can edit the shape definition in the family editor.

You can do that in the shape definition.

Edit the rebar family and insert the image at the line "shape image"

Reload the rebar

Then add that parameter to your shedule.

Hi @1368026189,

I am sorry, My knowledge in Revit API is limited. I would like to recommended you to raise this question on revit API forum. Also I would like to know why you can not use it directly ?

I believe it was created by Dieter Vermeulen from Autodesk
