Purpose and description
With this component you can create parametric rebarend connections and model them efficiently in walls, ceilings and other parts. Linear placement allows you to flexibly distribute the rebarend connections between the start and end points. By using manufacturer catalogs, the rebarend connections can be created both manufacturer-neutral and with specific products. Search the Tekla Warehouse for suitable catalogs:

If necessary, you can further filter the selection in the table using "Type". Detailed information on how to use the search dialog can be found in the following chapter.
In the "Properties" tab, you can customize the names and classes of the parts:

Search embed
Use "Search embed" to search the table to find the needed embed faster. The following syntax must be used:
| Key | Usage | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Search in all columns | BK | |
|
sub |
Subtype | sub=K |
| position | Position | position=26 |
| spacing | Spacing | spacing=200! |
| diameter | Diameter ø | diameter=12! |
| c | C-Length | c=180 |
| d | D-Length | d=200 |
| e | E-Length | e=115 |
| & |
Combination of multiple keys |
sub=BK & d=200 |
Modify
By double-clicking on the component, the dialog box appears. You can adjust all settings, such as the selection of the embed. By changing the "Rotation", you can change the orientation of the rebarend connections. Use "Split-type" to define where the remaining length of the placment, where there is no more space for an embed, should be divided. For example, select "Justify" to divide the remaining length evenly between all the embeds:

You can flexibly change the placement by modifying the handles or dimensionlines of the start and end points, as you are used to with other Tekla Structures parts:

Known limitations
- Only one type of embed can be used per placement.
