An option of telling vertical bars in the column or wall that they belong to the same group of bars, so that in the schedule you get the total no. of bars same size and shape within the host not half the no.
First which version of the software are you using?
You assign it to same partition that will assign it to the element. If its the same shape and length it should have the same schedule mark number. Which in turn when its in the bar bending schedule you can filter the bars so it reads all the total number of bars in that element.
if you want bars to be in a column on all faces then that is not possible at the moment. If took a class at AU last year which explains rebar detailing from scratch in Revit. Why not check it out.
