Tilted hook rebars in Slab

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I am studying Revit, although I don't use it at work, but I try everytime to draw some real case with this BIM software.

I am wondering whether is possible, with Revit, to tilt a hook rebar as drawn in the attached drawings.

In the 1st case the hook rebar goes out from the slab and anyway doesn't respect the bottom cover, because this reason I would adopt the 2nd case.

I hope I am not asking too much to Revit software and thank you to all for answering.

If I understand what you are asking, there is a tool which will allow you to edit this. When placing free form rebar, there is an option to edit the "Hook Orientation" at both the start and end hooks of the bars. The values range from  0°-360°. 

Hopefully this is what you're looking for. If you have any difficulty with the tools or if this isn't what you're looking for, please respond back to this comment.

Hello @Anonymous

Currently (as @Anonymous mentioned), it is only possible to freely rotate the hooks of free form rebar.

You can use both the Aligned Distribution (available since Revit 2019.1) or the Surface Distribution (available since 2018.1).

If you set the Workshop Instructions to Bend, the geometry of the bars will be matched to a Revit rebar shape, and all the A, B, C... parameters would get extracted for fabrication (see Free Form Rebar Shape matching for more info).

Also, I've attached a simple example of this
