Robot reinforcement pattern modification (foundation)

[Anonymous]

hi every one

i have a certain issue in reinforcement pattern of foundation

the main reinforcement pattern of foundation is assigned only to shape code (00) but here we dont use this shape code as main reinforcement

we use bars with shape code (21) as (U) shapes. i can't change the reinforcing bars shape code because its unchangeable

i tried to use bars with shape code (00)+hooks length to make a U shape (shape code no 22) but when i exported the drawing to ASD (autocad structural detailing) the bars were not correct as they don't correctly represented in reinforcement table

can anyone know how to change the reinforcement pattern in robot so the bars take the shape code i wanted that differ from (00)

PS: the shape codes according to BS 8666 : 2000

In this case Robot generates straight bars with hooks (therefore shape code is 00) rather than U shape bars which could have additional hooks (therefore shape code 21). It isn't possible to edit bar shape type unless you "edit" it on the final printout.
