BOQ, Scheduling, detail drawing in Revit Structure.

[rudra5FZN6]

I need assistance with Revit Structure to create a bar bending schedule and material takeoff for the structural components in my model. Could you please guide me on how to generate accurate schedules in a professional manner?

[jay_colcombe]

If you are using the Structural Template there is already a Bar Bending Schedule in the Template so you can use this all you need to really do to get it working correctly is add the Rebar Number and Remove Bar Mark.

This is a great starting point and then add any additional Parameters as required.

As regards other Schedules, please use the Help Guide/YouTube/etc.

There is a good Autodesk Learn Platform which will get you most of the way and then use the forums for more in-depth help/support when you get stuck.

One final Tip, if you purchase your Autodesk software through a reseller use them as a primary source for training and additional help and training if they want your business i am sure they would be happy to help!

Thank you for your response. However, I also need information on the overlapping distance and bar placement. Do you have any insights on this? Additionally, is there a way to place rebars in a single step, rather than having to place them separately in each component every time?

[jay_colcombe]

It depends on what you are trying to do, I have no idea but you can propagate Rebar

You can use the Propagate Rebar Tools and Align by Face and Copy to other elements

[jay_colcombe]

For overlapping distance and Bar Placement you need to use Constraints - again this is all in the Help in Revit

Help | About Rebar Constraint Types | Autodesk

Alternatively there are addins to Revit for Rebar which do all these things you ask and if this is your primary task and main focus in Revit you really need to look into these to allow you to cover the missing elements.  This is one i have used personally.
