Category in Advanced options dialog: Concrete detailing

Use this advanced option to set the default value for Curve tolerance that is used in rebar shape recognition.

You can use Curve tolerance to define whether multiple sequential bendings that are forming an arc in a reinforcing bar are combined into one or more bendings (90 degrees or less) with the arc radius as the bending radius.

If the deviation of a bar leg from the arc is less than the tolerance, bendings are combined.

If the deviation is more than the tolerance, or if Curve tolerance is set to 0, bendings are not combined.

The default value is 12.7 mm.

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

If needed, you can override this setting by modifying rebar definitions in the rebar catalog (rebar_database.inp) or by using the Shape recognition user-defined attributes of individual reinforcement objects.
