Discrepancy Between Revit Rebar Length in Properties and Manual Calculation

[veeresh.huvinahalliACK3L]

Hi everyone,

I'm working with rebar in Revit, and I've encountered an issue with the rebar length shown in the properties tab. When I manually calculate the rebar length by summing the dimensions (segments, hooks, etc.), the total I get doesn't match the length displayed in Revit's properties tab.

I'm wondering if I'm making a mistake in my calculations or if there's an additional factor that Revit includes when calculating rebar length.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there a recommended approach to ensure that the manually calculated rebar length matches what Revit is showing? Are there specific dimensions or adjustments that Revit accounts for that I might be overlooking?

I would suggest you look at the UK bar shapes as this has a Calculation built in already, i would suggest you are not considering the bends in the calculation.

Here is an example of Shape Code 21 from the UK Rebar Family
