XS_​DISPLAY_​DIMENSIONS_​WHEN_​SELECTING_​REBARS

Category: Model views

Use for defining whether dimensions and dimension lines are displayed when you select a reinforcing bar, bar group, or rebar set.

When this advanced option is set to TRUE (default), Tekla Structures displays the leg dimensions, total bar length (Σ), and dimension lines. For bar groups, including rebar sets, the dimensions of the first bar and the last bar are displayed. If you select individual bars in rebar sets, the dimensions of all the selected rebar set bars are displayed. Dimensions are not displayed for curved or circular bars, or for hooks.

For single reinforcing bars and bar groups, these dimensions are only displayed when direct modification is switched off. When direct modification is switched on, these dimensions are always hidden, and the direct modification dimensions are shown instead. This makes it easier to know which dimensions can be edited.

Dimensions and dimension lines are displayed when you select a single object, or when you select multiple objects by picking them. The dimensions are not displayed if a command is running, or if you select multiple objects with area selection.

When this advanced option is set to FALSE, the dimensions and dimension lines are not displayed.

This advanced option is user specific and the setting is saved in options.bin under the user folder, for example, in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Trimble\Tekla Structures\<version>\UserSettings.
Tip:

To quickly switch between the values TRUE and FALSE, go the Rebar tab on the ribbon and click Visibility > Rebar dimensions, or use the keyboard shortcut Alt+6.
