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 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

Mr : Ahmed
i have a lot of bar diameter in Egyptian template
and i want to delete some of theme , how can i ?
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,
Dear peticid ,
you are awesome 🙂
from project browser>families>Structural Rebar>rebar bar
it warns me also when i delete bars that are used in couplers
works well , Thank you very much
i need the Revit rebar family in metric so i can import them and use them please including Egyptian and KSA bar dimms if anyone have please
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.
