How to edit a single rebar in slab rebar

[chhuanmawia18]

Hello, is there a way to select and edit a single piece of rebar from this slab system , so that i can edit the shape or delete it without affecting the whole rebar system . Thank you

You cannot edit individual rebars in rebar systems. There are 2 scenarios:

a. If you want to edit the rebar definition (diameter, lenght, constraints,etc), go to Properties Palette and edit the options. If options you seek are not editable in the Properties Palette (e.g. lenght, constraints), select the rebar system, got to Edit menu -> Remove Rebar System. After this you can edit the rebars as a group, change lenght, constraints, etc.

b. To edit just one single rebar, shorten your rebar system path by one rebar. Copy the rebar system, then Remove Rebar System on the copy. Delete all copied rebars except one single rebar. Place the single rebar in its' place, then edit it as you want.

thank you so much...i have used  free form rebar for the sloped slab and is not possible to even shorten/pull the system and i'm finding it quite tricky to solve it

Stairs rebar are indeed tricky. I would use a freeform rebar (to follow the contour i need) and fixed number for rebars. That means a rebar group. And i would just change the fixed number of rebars to desired outcome.

Thanks...i also did the sketch rebar way and it helps . But overall quite tricky indeed
