Hello again,

I have tried to change to metric from job preferences but after recalculating the panels the rebars keep coming as american units.

Do i have to be starting the project from scratch for it to be changed?

Check if your default reinforcement bars database is ACI metric rather than ACI:

@Anonymous after you select aci metric in the database and run the calculations again the # of rebars shoukd adjust to soft metric units #13/#16...
If not, you shoukd save your work, close it and open it again and make sure the metric database is selected.
