Rebar coupler, Rebar end anchor

• Rebar coupler and Rebar end anchor components have been changed so that when used with rebar sets, the end-specific UDA values are set with end modifiers. For rebar sets, the end modifier properties thread length, extra fabrication length, and threading type values of the end modifier are set (instead of custom UDA values).

  Note that to get the threading type controlled by coupler / end anchor components, this value must be added to the RebarCoupler.Udas.dat file.

• Rebar coupler has been changed so that the free space between two rebars can be controlled with a new dimension attribute on Attributes tab. You can set this value manually or with the auto attribute file.

  

  Rebar end anchor has been changed so that when it is used with rebar sets, the rebar is shortened with the given offset so that the anchor will have the same cover distance as the original bar end. The concrete cover can be automatic or overridden with the (input) end detail modifier.

Wall layout

• When customizing the content of the UDA tab, you can now define in the WallLayout.Udas.dat file that layer UDA values are not swapped when the Wall layout layer swapper tool is used. You can do this by adding NoSwap at the end of the line (fourth field): string comment j_comment NoSwap.
