Place reinforcement mark leader line associativity point automatically

Tekla Structures places the associativity point of reinforcement mark leader lines so that it points to only one reinforcing bar. You can adjust how Tekla Structures searches for the place for the associativity point.

  • On the File menu, click Settings > Advanced options and go to the Concrete detailing category.

To

Do this

Select an optimal place for the associativity point.

Set XS_ENABLE_REBAR_MARK​_LEADER​​​​_LINE_BASE​_​POINT_​OPTIMIZATION to TRUE.

Define how far the other reinforcing bars must be from the associativity point in order for Tekla Structures to place the associativity point.

Set a millimeter value for XS_​REBAR_​MARK_​LEADER_​LINE_​BASE_​POINT_​SEARCH_​TOLERANCE.

Define the search step length while searching for an optimal place for the associativity point along the reinforcing bar.

Set a millimeter value for XS_REBAR_MARK_LEADER_LINE​​​​​​_BASE​​​​​_POINT_SEARCH​​​​​​_​STEP_​LENGTH.
