Rebar shape code 34 (BS8666)

[Joe_Hughes]

Hi,

Two issues I'm trying to resolve with shape code 34:

1) Want to change the E dimensions. It's currently greyed out.

2) Want to change the angle of the B dimension from 45deg to approx 51deg, which is a function of B, D and F. I.E. trying to replicate the green alignment in the mark-up.

See mark-up / screenshot below.

Thanks

Also the F dimension in the rebar shape family is wrong to BS8666. Autodesk needs to correct this!

I looked at editing the Shape directly and it turned it into a Shape Code 35

As regards the Leg E, you can override hook Lengths

I can only suggest looking at some third Party Addins for Revit as they create their own Shape Codes families which may be more accurate I know CADS RC3D had their own.
