Category in Advanced options dialog box: Concrete detailing

Use this advanced option to control how multiple sequential bendings in reinforcing bars are handled in Rebar shape manager.

When this advanced option is set to TRUE (which is the default value), multiple sequential bendings that form an arc are combined into one or more bendings (90 degrees or less) with the arc radius. This makes it possible to define bar bending shapes containing a large radius bending no matter how many individual bendings appear in the original bar geometry.

When the advanced option is set to TRUE, you can use the Curve tolerance setting in Rebar shape manager to define whether bendings are combined.

If you set the advanced option to FALSE, or if Curve tolerance is set to 0, bendings are not combined, but they appear as multiple bendings.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database.
