Hi @daniel_compel 

For the corner bars, you can use shape driven rebar (M_17A for example - L shape bar) set to varying

After setting it to vary, you can edit the constraints, select those segment handles and click the inclined faces. Set the constraint to by cover and offset 0.

The ends automatically constrain to the closest face, so the bars are the same length. If you want them to vary in length as well, you can constrain them to a vertical face in your model. It can be in the same host or outside

Hi @daniel_compel,

Thank you for posting. It looks like @ovidiu_paunescu provided you with the steps to place rebar on the required shape, so for now I am going to mark this as "Assumed Answered." This won't prevent other folks from commenting on this question though in the event other ideas come up!

Yes, that helped a lot. Thank you very much @ovidiu_paunescu . I knew the variable rebar function but I didnt think of using it on this shape.
