How to create Rebar shape with Arc shape and angle of 45-degree slant?

Hi @prafull_jogdandKPYKU

You can only model that with shape driven rebar, by adding hooks bent at 45 deg, that you also rotate 90 deg.

In the shape family you can assign parameters for the various segments, including hook lengths.

In the project, you can check "override hook lengths by instance" and input the length value for hooks in the bar properties.

See the attached Revit 2025 sample model

1. Can we vary the angle viz. 70 deg,60 deg, 35 deg (range from 0 to 90 deg) ?
The angle which is expected is on the other side and not on the hook side, above attached image for reference.
2. Can we create exactly same which is expected?
3. And if we cannot create the family of the above Rebar shape then can you please provide justification that why we cannot create such shapes. for further use?
