Dimension rebars

[michael]

Hello,

Is there a way to dimension the endpoints of a rebar horizontally and vertically? I can get the lines of the rabars with rebar.GetCenterlineCurves, but it seems that the endpoints of these lines cannot be referenced.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

You can read the geometry data from the rebar by Rebar.Geometry property. This property requires an Option argument. you need to set the option.CaculateReferences to  true.

Then read the edge of the rebar. and get the curve from the Edge object. Finally get the end point reference from the curve.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

but this aproach dosen't give geometry of rebarsSet. There is nothing in collection. 

------

Options opt = new Options();
opt.DetailLevel = ViewDetailLevel.Fine;
opt.ComputeReferences = true;
opt.IncludeNonVisibleObjects = true;

GeometryElement ele = raber.get_Geometry(opt);

foreach (GeometryObject geomObj in ele)
{

...

}

-------

I even tried sth different, but got only one curve.

GeometryElement ele = doc.GetElement(reb.Id).get_Geometry(opt);

Could You help?

Not sure whether you got the solution for what you were looking for. I was also looking for something similar and has posted it here. Please have a look.
