Description

Default

Bolt standard

Select the bolt standard:

  • 6914

  • 7968

  • 7990

  • ASS 1

  • ASS 2

  • UNDEFINED_BOLT

6914

Rounding type

Select the rounding type:

  • None

    The rounding value is the reinforcing bar diameter + hole tolerance.

  • Round off

    The rounding value is the nearest integer number divisible by the rounding precision value.

  • Round up

    The rounding value is the next integer number divisible by the rounding precision value.

  • Round down

    The rounding value is the previous integer number divisible by the rounding precision value.

  • Round by table

    Define the reinforcing bar diameter, hole diameter, and the slotted hole extension.

No default value

Example dimensions:

  • Reinforcing bar diameter = 21.6 mm

  • Hole tolerance = 3 mm

  • Rounding precision = 2 mm

  • None, rounding = 24.6 mm

  • Round off, rounding = 24 mm

  • Round up, rounding = 26 mm

  • Round by own, rounding = 24 mm

Hole tolerance

Define the hole tolerance.

When you select Round by table as the rounding type, you cannot define the hole tolerance.

0 mm

Rounding precision

Define the rounding precision.

When you select Round by table as the rounding type, you cannot define the rounding precision.

1 mm

Dimension table

Define the reinforcing bar diameter, hole diameter, and slotted hole extension.

To define the dimensions in the table, select the Round by table option as the rounding type.

Rebar hole uses an existing bolt size and adjusts the hole tolerance value until the desired Hole diameter is reached.

Use the + and the - buttons to add and delete rows from the table.

Advanced tab

Use the Advanced tab to control the hole type, vertical offset, and angle range dimension.

Hole type

Description

Default

Hole type

Select the hole type:

  • Bolt hole

  • Part cut

  • Bolt hole + part cut

Bolt hole

Vertical offset

Option

Description

Default

The hole is not offset.

The hole is offset upward to directly support the reinforcing bar to keep the bar in the correct vertical position.

The hole can be offset if the hole is a circular hole.

Angle range dimension

Description

Default

1

Angle range dimension.

A round hole is created within the defined range. Holes that go beyond the range are transformed into slotted holes.
