I'm testing free form rebar to reinforce a warped slab (with modified sub elements) and have minor issues. Firstly, if I model the reinforcement in two directions (similar to area reinforcing) using the same hosted face for each direction the bars collide as they are constrained to the rebar cover of the particular host. (i.e. bottom rebar cover). I can work around this by using two host faces (top and bottom) and setting cover as such, however in a suspended slab this would be a problem if I was placing bottom steel in two directions as top and bottom cover are specific........if I use the same host face for two way reinforcing can I lift the minor direction bars by editing the constraints or is there a better work flow? Also, at on edge of the slab some bars are missing, any thoughts? see attached.
