It is unclear to me whether you are asking this question from a programming or an end user point of view.

 

Are you doing anything programmatically yourself, or just using the standard Revit user interface?

 

If you are not doing anything programmatically yourself using the Revit API, I am afraid this is not the best place to ask such a question.

 

You should try one of the non-API Revit product support discussion forums instead for that:

 

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/this-forum-is-for-revit-api-programming-questions-not...

 

The people there are much better equipped to address this topic than us programming nerds.

 

If you are doing it programmatically, please be aware that the Revit API hardly ever supports any functionality that is not also available in the user interface.

 

So, it will always help to research the optimal manual approach to a solution first, before attacking the task programmatically.

 

I hope this clarifies.

 

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

 

Best regards,

 

Jeremy

I later noticed that you posted the same question on an existing thread that discusses the programmatic creation of a spiral stirrup rebar:

  

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-api-forum/spiral-stirrup-rebar/m-p/7049210

  

Therefore, I assume you are after an API solution yourself as well after all. That was not clear to me from this isolated question alone. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

  • Thank you so much for your reply, I am a programmer actually, I created the rebar for rectangular column and its stirrups internally and the outer stirrups only after that I added to my plugin the detailng of the circular column by creating main rebar and circular stirrups as shown in the screen shot but I want now to make it spiral stirrups as required in the practice also
