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