Odd length planar rebar

[darylC9EKB]

The project that i am working on has a lot of odd shaped Rebar specified by the design consultant.

the only way that i can think of producing the rebar is multi Planar but the legs need to be different lengths to allow a 180 degree return to be included on one end, with straight lap to the rest of the reinforcing lower in the wall,

essentially the bar is an LL bar that has been cranked perpendicular to the top face that it protrudes from, the rebar is pictured attached, highlighted in Yellow,

Try to "play" with free form rebar shape by adjusting "Align/Close" option.. otherwise Multiplanat rebar is the only way probably.

Hi @darylC9EKB 

The way you could do this, is to model a concrete host that would define this bar (i used a model in place) in this simple example, and then use surface distribution for defining the set.

@ovidiu_paunescu Thanks for the solution, works perfectly once i picked the host, and start face end face in the correct order, by then dividing the Part created to get the correct geometry of the wall, and excluding it from the assembly, it has given the result required,
