Revit 2025 - Multi rebar annotation for alternate rebar rebar set

[petrlanik]

When I divide rebar set (either by length or a line) with alternated rebars, I get two sets of rebar, that each has two different length of rebar within one set. Is there a way to annotate this rebar set by multiple rebar annotation, respectively show both rebar number in the annotation? In current annotation it reads rebar number, but as they differ in the set, empty value is shown.

You could look at the Parameter being used for that Label and as the Values are different maybe a Min/Max Length Parameter is more relevant or something similar?

Save As that Multi-Rebar Family under a different name and have a try with some other available Parameters in the Label

Thanks I have tried, but the rebar number parameter is not available as it differs for alternated rebar set (some plug-ins divide alternate rebar set into two different rebar sets, then the numbering is possible)
In variable rebar set the rebar can be assigned same number and extension for each different length in variable rebar set, but in the case of dividing the set by line or length with alternate rebars , there are two separated rebar numbers (for example 8 and 9, not 8.1 8.2).
The min and max length can be annotated, but the rebar number not.
For edge rebar (rebar along trajectory) the rebar number is available neither for "primary only" nor "primary and alternated", so can not be displayed.

You can use the Minimum & Maximum Rebar Number Parameters if this is what you need?

Strange they didn't use the same terminology for Path reinforcement as this would then make it a lot clearer and uniform.

Thanks, this is was the problem of CZ language localization, as it is not listed as rebar No. (číslo) but as number of rebars , count (počet). I checked with Autodesk help but they did not suggest this solution. 

So is it some hidden built in parameter that only appears in tag definition? As it is not visible in rebar set properties.

The other problem is that for alternated rebar there is only one number of rebars (count).So If I get 8 (rebar No. 88) longer ones and 7 (rebar No. 89) shorter ones, the displayed number of rebars would be 15 and I would need to use some formula to calculate the actual number of rebars No. 88 and No. 89. Or is there other built in parameter that would report that? In Czech it looks that it would be these parameters you mentioned, but they are actualy Rebar No., not number of rebars.

And I did not investigate yet what values will appear in rebar schedules

I cannot see anything to represent this unfortunately
