Get the Rebar position in a structural element (like a beam)

[Anonymous]

Hi,

How can i get the rebar position in a structural element (like a beam) in revit api?

if you look at the cross section view of a beam, you see some rebars at the top and at the bottom of it.

i want to know that, which rebar is at the top and which one is placed at the bottom?

thank you.

You can easily determine the location of the rebar curves.

Here is a description how:

Once you have the curve information, you can compare its location relative to the rest of the beam geometry.
