Top and Bottom Reinforcement Drawings

[Anonymous]

Hi all, 

I am modelling a complex reinforcement design in Revit. To have more control and clarity I grouped all the rebars in a certain zone together. Now I want to create a nice and clear top and bottom reinforcement plan. I am wondering what is the best and easiest way to achieve this.

Options I have thought about:

1. Hide the top reinforcement for Bottom drawing and vice versa > not convenient considering the huge number of Rebars

2. Group the bottom reo together and top together and hide each for the relevant drawing > it means I have to ungroup all of my current groups. Not ideal

3. change the view range/cut plane > didn't work as I have beams and slab in different RLs.

Can you please think of a better option? 🙏

Thanking you all

I often ask my team to mark the rebar with a specific name to distinguish the position of the rebar.

It can be done in Partition, Mark, Comment or any shared parameter you created for scheduling. 

For example with Partition:

-When you modeled the top rebar, you give it a name like T1, T2, T3 (because there are some huge beam with many layers of top reinforcement). Then bottom rebar can be assigned as B1, B2, B3. Stirrup group can be assigned as S1, S2 and so on.
