To do

Update the end detail modifier standard files ( standard.rst_edm and standard.rst_edm.more ) in your environment:

1. Create a rebar set > Interrupt > Select the rebar set.
2. Create an end detail modifier > Interrupt > Select the end detail modifier > The property pane opens.
3. Enter appropriate standard values and save them as standard.
4. Upload the newly created standard files again to your environment.

To do

Update the splitter standard file ( standard.rst_sm ) in your environment:

1. Create a rebar set > Interrupt > Select the rebar set.
2. Create a splitter > Interrupt > Select the splitter > The property pane opens.
3. Enter appropriate standard values and save them as standard.
4. Upload the newly created standard files again to your environment.

Cranking and lapping report attibutes

If you want to create report templates for reporting these new properties, you can use these cranking and lapping report attributes:

• CRANK_SIDE_START
• CRANK_ROTATE_START
• CRANK_STRLEN_START
• CRANK_LENTYPE_START
• CRANK_RATIO_START
• CRANK_DIST_START
• CRANK_OFFSET_START
• LAP_SIDE_START LAP_PLACEMENT_START
• LAP_LENGTH_START

• CRANK_SIDE_END
• CRANK_ROTATE_END
• CRANK_STRLEN_END
• CRANK_LENTYPE_END
• CRANK_RATIO_END
• CRANK_DIST_END
• CRANK_OFFSET_END
• LAP_SIDE_END
• LAP_PLACEMENT_END
• LAP_LENGTH_END

These attributes are available both in the REBAR and SINGLE_REBAR rows in reports.

Rebar database file update

Localize the rebar database ( rebar_database.inp ) in your environment to cover the new standard lapping and standard cranking properties:

• Open your environment's rebar_database.inp and start adding the values to the file according to the needs of your area.
• Add 5 columns at the rightmost end of each row. Use tabs to differentiate the values from each other. See the example image below.

Note that the column titles (for example, CrankSL ) do not matter. The values should be in the correct order.

To do

Find out what would be the best values in your area for the reinforcement settings. Localize them in your environment's standard.opt file.

This is how the above values are defined in the file:

dia_option_settings.StepTaperingSingle 0.000000
dia_option_settings.StepTaperingFree 0.000000
dia_option_settings.StepTaperingIntermediate 0.000000
dia_option_settings.RoundingSingle 1.000000
dia_option_settings.RoundingFree 1.000000
dia_option_settings.RoundingIntermediate 1.000000
dia_option_settings.RoundingTypeSingle 1
dia_option_settings.RoundingTypeFree 1
dia_option_settings.RoundingTypeIntermediate 1
dia_option_settings.RoundupInSplitters 1.000000

You can also localize the rest of the Reinforcement settings in the Options dialog box. Modify these settings in the same file if needed:

dia_option_settings.ConcreteCoverTop 25.000000
dia_option_settings.ConcreteCoverBottom 25.000000
dia_option_settings.ConcreteCoverSides 25.000000
dia_option_settings.MinimumBarLength 0.000000
dia_option_settings.MinimumLegLength 0.000000
dia_option_settings.MinimumBarLengthType 0
dia_option_settings.MinimumLegLengthType 0

To do

Rebar set standard file update

Update the rebar set standard files ( standard.rst , standard.rst.more and standard.rst.zones ) in your environment:

1. Create a rebar set > Interrupt > Select the rebar set > The property pane opens.
2. Enter appropriate standard values and save them as standard.
3. Upload the newly created standard files again to your environment.

Property modifier standard file update

Update the property modifier standard files ( standard.rst_pm ) in your environment:

1. Create a rebar set > Interrupt > Select the rebar set.
2. Create a property modifier > Interrupt > Select the property modifier > The property pane opens.
3. Enter appropriate standard values and save them as standard.
4. Upload the newly created standard file again to your environment.

For environments that do not follow the ..\common\inp folder

Copy the objects_length_adjustment.inp file from ..\common\inp folder and place it to your environment folder. If you do not do this, the rebar set auto-apply will not work.

IS_REBARSET_BAR

If you want to differentiate old reinforcing bars from rebar set bars, there is now a report template attribute that you can use: IS_REBARSET_BAR. The value 1 is for rebar set bars, the value 0 is for the old bars. This attribute is available both in the REBAR and SINGLE_REBAR rows.
