XS_REBARSET_ROUNDING_TOLERANCE
Category in Advanced options dialog: Concrete detailing
Tekla Structures applies a rounding tolerance before rounding the leg lengths in rebar sets. Using a rounding tolerance prevents unnecessarily changing the bar dimensions when they are very close to a whole number. The tolerance is added to each leg length before the leg length is rounded down, or subtracted before rounding up.
Use this advanced option to modify the rounding tolerance. The default value is 0.5 mm.
This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database. Reopen the model to activate the new value.
After changing the value of this advanced option, update the existing rebar sets in the model. Reopen the model, or on the Rebar tab on the ribbon, click to activate the new value. The leg lengths of existing rebar set bars might change.
Example
The original leg lengths of a bar are 929.98 mm and 324.60 mm before rounding, and the rounding setting is Down 5 mm for the leg lengths.
-
If the rounding tolerance is 0.001, the leg lengths are rounded down to 925 and 320.
-
If the rounding tolerance is 0.5, the leg lengths are rounded to 930 and 325.
These whole numbers are used because the difference from the original leg lengths is less than the rounding tolerance.
