C# AddIn for robot 2017 Exporting map of slab reinforcement

[smikaric]

In last  few weeks I have worked on app that will take result slab  reinforcement and create map as isolines in Cad file as .dxf. I have been motivated because exporting maps in Robot 2017 don't looks as good as need to. I need this for manually placing bar from third pat softwere. tut: First you have to enter slab number (slab have to be calculated first) next click to button get slab data, when it finish gettering data app will show legend to define and what direction to pick Ax+ Ax- Ay+ Ay-. After that you can pick place for file and on and u can click on Draw button to create you dxf file. App is stil in beta stage. On end i have to say big thanks to @Rafal.Gaweda@ for help me extract data with RSA SDK.

Hi @smikaric,

Very nice addin! I have added it to our list of useful tools.

A short wishlist:

 - save/ open different scales 

 - export all 4 drawings at once

- always on top checkbox

 - possibility to get reinforcement area based on  the entered description

- put reinforcement in different layers in AutoCAD

[smikaric]

Thanks on wishlist, I will try to implement.

Exporting as 4 separated files is something that I was thinking about but needed to make it simple as I can.

- save/ open different scales = next version 🙂

 -always on top checkbox?  Didn't understand, did you mean radio buttons?

- possibility to get reinforcement area based on  the entered description ?something like dropbox for each row with predefined diametar/spacing to pick?

- put reinforcement in different layers in AutoCAD- no problem there.

Hi @smikaric,

-always on top checkbox?  Didn't understand, did you mean radio buttons?

Yes, I mean the possibility to have the addin always on top

- possibility to get reinforcement area based on  the entered description ?something like dropbox for each row with predefined diameter/spacing to pick?

Well, it is also a good idea. My idea was to calculate area of reinforcement automatically inside the addin, i.e. selected d12s200 obtained 5.65 cm2

A short wishlist:

 - save/ open different scales  (and reset)

 - export all 4 drawings at once

- always on top checkbox

 - possibility to get reinforcement area based on  the entered description

- put reinforcement in different layers in AutoCAD (layers named as scale list)

Max and Min scale value implemented

Hello,

I wanted to use that addin, however when I am trying to export any slab I have information as below: "Error. Object with number XYZ is not a slab, please enter slab number"

Why does it happen?

[smikaric]

public virtual void Valedating()
        {
            var slab = (RobotObjObject)str.Objects.Get(ObjNumber);
            if (slab == null)
                throw new Exception($"Slab with number {ObjNumber} don't exist.");
            var s = slab.StructuralType;
            if (s !=  IRobotObjectStructuralType.I_OST_SLAB)
                throw new Exception($"Object with number {ObjNumber} is not slab, please eneter slab number.");
        }

This is code that validate object is slab. Double check if object 8 is defined as slab if that is currect, it will be nice to send me model for further error investigation.

New version 1.1.2 (tested on 2015 to 2019 version)

-Added fake data from json file for testing app without Robot Structural, just tipe "fake" instead slab number.

-Added multi slab function if slabs are on same Z coordinate("69to71 90").

-Added calculating reinforcement from description (add new row-> in description tipe "=d12s10" and u will get Ø12/10cm(11.31cm2)) .

-Added layers for slab edges by their numbers.

-Some minor fixes.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for developing a tool like this, it looks really usefull for sketching the slab reinforcement! However, I am facing a trouble here. When I run the addin, I get an error for the "panel.json" path. Do you have any idea why this is happening?

BR,

Joel

Hi,

it's a strange behavior. 

I have attached newer version. LINK

You don't have to added manually, it will do it installer for you.

Still in beta version... Release version will be soon on Autodesk App Store.

Try it and report back your experience.

I installed the new version and now I am getting an error when running the addin 😕

[smikaric]

This is new version with new name RC Slab Mapper, a few fixes for validation if there is a result for selected slabs.

Uninstall previous version. Please report bugs if you find on pm.

Installation process:

After downloading, double click on "RC Slab Mapper_Setup.msi" and follow the installation process instructions. 

[smikaric]

Hi @Anonymous 

Try new version named RC Slab Mapper, but first uninstall previous version.

the bug you reported has been fixed.

I can't get results.
What could be the reason? Too big plate?

[smikaric]

I don't have idea what is wrong... Can you attach model?

[MarekZiecina1253]

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jenrcfmv6t0l4m7/SAMPLE.rtd?dl=0

it is not exactly the same model but the problem remains

[smikaric]

Ok, there is obviously some problem with getting data from table so I am attaching version that read data directly from robot but it is much slower(threading si complicated in robot api). Try this and report if you have some problems, delete previous version and install this.

ps: this version works when I tested.

[MarekZiecina1253]

Is there such a tool for reinforced concrete walls?

[MarekZiecina1253]

 

I don't know what the problem is, there is no link to start the program

Hi there! Does this tool works on Robot 2020?

I tried to install it, but I am not getting where I want!

Thanks a lot great tool!
