Hi all

how can i use metric rebar bar in revit 2017 ?

note : i have downloaded Extension for revit 2017 and put the default regional setting to BS but only imperial bar show

Hi 

Check what your default units are set to? you can set for common / Structural / mep

Manage Tab> Project Units - Discipline: Structural

There are options for Reinforcement Length and Bar Diameter 

I would check these first

Hi

thanks for your reply

i do that but no result

Hi What version of Revit are you using?

Did you install with the UK metric Library?

When you create a project is it metric or Imperial?

I have the extension tools and noticed that it can give the incorrect shape code name for the UK - the code is right but has the word standard or stirrup before the number so when you schedule, the dims are not filled in. If you change the code to be just the number then the dims fill in.

hi

you can add your own rebar size in mm by simple steps

-from structure tab choose rebar 

-from proprieties choose edit type and then duplicate 

-name and modify the dims as you want

if it helped you mark as a solution

Dear Mohammed,

You can delete the unnecessary rebar diameters by selecting the corresponding Rebar Types in the Project Browser - Structural Rebar - Rebar Bar and pressing "Delete".

Please let me know if this worked out for you. KInd regards,

@waseem-eng

You have to use metric template if you use metric. or create a template with the setting in metric units.

when I install Revit the default is set to US imperial, that's why I change my default template into UK standards so every time that I create new project it all set into metric.. I am just doing a little bit adjustment and adding some settings into exiting template then save as customize project template.

hope this will help you.

You can also load the Rebar families manually.
