Start and End of Rebar and Rebar Sets

Start and End of Rebar and Rebar Sets

Currently a Rebar set has Start and End positions, but also the Rebar itself has a Start and End. After multiple copies, mirroring, rotating, apllying add-in(s) to divide in cut lengths or even split up sets you might loose control over what was the start and end of a Rebar (set), if it hasn't been change by the add-in(s) at all.

When you select a Rebar you can see the start position (where the shape handles are), but you cannot see the start or end of a Rebar itself, making Hooks at Start/End it most cases a gamble to choose from. When you lengthen a rebar you are in for the same gamble.

What if the Factory could make the shape handles more informative: green shape handles for start end red shape handles for red. This could benefit the lengthen of a rebar, hooks at start or end, but also think of the possibility for structural framing. And what it if we could switch the start and end point of a rebar and the start and end of a rebar set, this would make changing shape handles and layout of a rebar set more flexible.

Being able to distinguish between all element (ie beams) start and end would be great! 

 

Perhaps other colors or shapes for the handles, Red & Green tend to screw with people who have issues with color vision.

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.

I guess autodesk is looking at all these ideas. This one only had 4 votes and still got moved to the roadmap. Common sense feature enhancements are sorely needed! @kimberly_fuhrman-jones , thank you to you and your team for continuing to scour through these ideas. Gives me hope that someday soon, graphical column schedules and trusses can get added to the roadmap also.

Status changed to: Implemented

We are pleased to say that this has been implemented in Revit 2026! Thank you for your contribution to improving Revit!
