I came across a Rebar Limitations for Wall by Face. When using Revit massing tools, specifically Wall by Face command, I am not able to add rebars to sloped walls by face but if the wall by face is vertical then rebars can be added. Furthermore structural wall properties are not allowed. On the other hand Model-in-place families will allow adding free form rebar. How can rebars be added to sloped walls created using the walls by face command. See attached screen captures. Thanks!

Hello @Anonymous
Walls by face are considered architectural, that's why rebar cannot be added to such an element. Also, that is why the structural features (analytical model) are not available.
Like you mentioned, you can model the geometry using model-in-place families and add reinforcement to it.
You can also use generic adaptive families or mass families inside generic model ones, and place rebar in those (be sure to check the option "can host rebar" in the properties palette)
When using free form rebar, you can also try the shape matching functionality (by changing Workshop Instructions to Bend). This will match the geometry of the bar to existing rebar shapes, or create new ones, and will allow you to extract segment lengths for scheduling.

It would be very good if you could add this to the Revit Ideas forum, so other users can share their support and use cases for it.
