Automatic grouping of rebar sets for drawings

The rebars created by using the rebar set commands are automatically grouped for drawing marking and dimensioning purposes. The automatic grouping works both for simple, non-tapered groups as well as for tapered groups.

Preconditions for rebar group creation

Simple, non-tapered groups are created when:

  • Rebars are created by the same rebar set
  • Rebars are side by side
  • Rebars have identical properties, including length
  • Rebars have the same position number

Tapered rebars are grouped when:

  • Rebars are created by the same rebar set
  • Rebars are side by side
  • Rebars have identical properties, except length
  • Length of bars increases linearly
  • There are minimum of 3 bars in a group

Spacing of bars is taken into account in grouping if the advanced option XS_​REBARSET_​ENABLE_​BAR_​GROUPING_​WHEN_​SPACING_​DIFFERS is set to FALSE. Then only bars with same spacing are grouped, and each spacing zone of a rebar set automatically creates a separate group. If the advanced option is set to TRUE , spacing is ignored, and groups can contain bars from more than one adjacent spacing zones.

Work with rebar set groups in drawings

Automatically created groups behave in the drawing similarly as the old rebar groups:

Below is an example of an automatically created rebar group in a drawing. The drawing uses rebar group visibility option bar in the middle of group , and reinforcement mark option One leader line to group , and the dimensions have been created with the command Create dimension line.
