Assign running numbers to reinforcement
You can assign running numbers to reinforcement in cast units. You can then use the running numbers in addition to or instead of the position numbers in reinforcement marks and tables in drawings, and in reports.
Note:
Starting from Tekla Structures 2025, to assign running numbers to various reinforcement objects within each cast unit or pour, define reinforcement sequence numbering settings in the Numbering Setup dialog. Then, use any regular numbering command, such as Number modified objects or Number series of selected objects, to update the numbering in the model.
An older, obsolete method is to use the Rebar sequence numbering macro to assign cast unit specific running numbers (1, 2, 3...) to the reinforcement in the model. Running numbers are unique within each cast unit. The macro does the following:
-
Updates the position numbers of the modified model objects using the Number modified objects command in .
-
Assigns running numbers to the reinforcing bars, reinforcing bar groups, and reinforcement meshes in the model.
-
Saves a running number as the user-defined attribute Rebar sequence number (
REBAR_SEQ_NO) of each bar, group, or mesh.

To show the running numbers in drawings and reports, use the user-defined attribute
REBAR_SEQ_NO.
