Use handles to modify a reinforcement

If you do not want to use direct modification to modify a reinforcement, you can use, for example, the reinforcement handles to modify the reinforcement.

Tekla Structures uses handles to indicate:

  • The ends and corners of a reinforcing bar.

  • The distribution length of a bar group.

  • The corners and main bar direction of a mesh.

When you select a reinforcement, Tekla Structures highlights the handles. The handle of the first end point is yellow, the rest are magenta.

  1. Select the reinforcement.

    Tekla Structures highlights the handles.

  2. Click one of the handles to select it.
  3. Move the handle like any other object in Tekla Structures.

    For example, if Drag and drop is active, just drag the handle to a new position.

    Note:

    If you want to use the reinforcement handles, ensure that the Direct modification switch is not active. If the switch is active and direct modification is on, Tekla Structures displays direct modification handles for the reference points, ends, legs, and leg midpoints of the selected reinforcement. These handles are blue.
