Reinforcement/Neighbor reinforcement and mesh properties in drawings
Use the options in the Reinforcement or Neighbor Reinforcement properties to check and modify the reinforcement and mesh visibility, appearance and content.
Option |
Description |
---|---|
Visibility of all reinforcing bars Visibility of all meshes |
Visible shows the bars or meshes. Not visible does not show the bars or meshes |
Representation |
single line draws a single line with radiused bends. single line with filled ends draws a single line for parallel bars and filled ends for perpendicular bars. double lines draws an outline of the bar with radiused bends. double lines with filled ends draws an outline of the bar with radiused bends and filled bar ends. filled line draws a solid bar with radiused bends. stick draws a single line without radiused bends. outline shows the shape of the mesh using an outline rectangle or polygon, and a diagonal line. Applies only to reinforcement meshes. outline (ignore holes) ignores holes and draws over them. Applies only to reinforcement meshes. |
Visibility of reinforcing bars in group Visibility of longitudinal wires Visibility of crossing bars |
all shows all bars in a group or mesh. first bar shows only the first bar in the group or mesh. last bar shows only the last bar in the group or mesh. first and last shows the first and last bar in the group or mesh. bar in the middle of group shows one bar in the middle of the group or mesh. two bars in the middle of group shows two bars in the middle of the group or mesh. customized indicates that you have specified the location of the only visible reinforcing bar. Applies only to bar groups and meshes. |
Hide lines behind parts |
Hides the lines behind the part. This is useful, for example, with lifting anchors where the reinforcing bar is partly outside the part. |
Hide lines behind other rebars |
Hides the lines behind other reinforcement bar lines. |
Symbol at straight end |
Reinforcing bar end symbols are always drawn in solid line type, regardless of the selected reinforcement line type. Applies only to reinforcing bars. |
Symbol at hooked end |
Applies only to reinforcing bars. Reinforcing bar end symbols are always drawn in solid line type, regardless of the selected reinforcement line type. |
Mesh symbol |
Defines the mesh symbol to be used. The mesh symbol appears in the middle of the diagonal line. Symbol 1 Symbol 2 Symbol 3 |
Mesh symbol size |
Defines the size of the mesh symbol. |
Visible lines |
Defines the color and type of the visible lines. Reinforcing bar end symbols are always drawn in solid line type, regardless of the selected reinforcement line type. |
Hidden lines |
Defines the color and type of the hidden lines. |
Additional ways of modifying reinforcement
In addition to the settings in reinforcement properties, you can modify the reinforcement in any of the following ways:
-
Increase the size of the bend and end symbols (in drawing units) using the advanced options
XS_REBAR_BEND_MARK_SYMBOL_MIN_SIZE
andXS_REBAR_END_SYMBOL_MIN_SIZE
in . -
Use the advanced option
XS_REBAR_REVERSE_END_SYMBOLS
in to change the end symbols to a different direction. - Modify the reinforcing bar bending schedule, rounding of bar dimensions, symbols for meshes, strands, and unbonding, and appearance of reinforcement pull-outs in the
rebar_config.inp
file.
