Solved: Adding additional reinforcing bars to Precast Assembly

AstraO · ‎01-23-2023

Hi, I have added reinforcement to my precast wall assembly using the Precast>Reinforcement tab. (After defining the reinforcement in Configuration). Some particular assemblies need extra reinforcing bars around openings etc. Does anyone know how I can add these? I can put reinforcement into the original wall but this does not show up in the assembly view of my precast panel. Thanks

Thanks for your help Ahmed but I have gone through these and still cannot find how to add additional bars on specific precast walls (not as a general configuration rule). Could you help me any further? Thanks

I have figured it out! I needed to click on Edit Assembly and then add my reinforcement. All tutorials that I have found said to place it in the part and not the assembly so when I created my assembly view, the additional reinforcement didn't show up.
