Tip: The representation of reinforcing bars that point away from the drawing can be changed. You can customize reinforcing bar bent symbols (cross, circle, filled circle) by editing the symbol file bent.sym , which in the default environment is located in the folder ..\ProgramData\Tekla Structures\<version>\\environments\common\symbols. Or, you can create a new symbol file in the same folder, for example, my_new_symbols.sym , and take it into use in the rebar_config.inp by entering the following string in the file: BentSymbolFile=my_new_symbols.sym
