Modify a rebar set using leg faces and leg surfaces
In addition to modifying an entire rebar set, you can make changes to any individual leg face or leg surface. Leg surfaces are especially useful when you reinforce curved or complex concrete structures.
If a leg face or leg surface is shown in red in the model, it means that the geometry of some bars in the rebar set is not valid. Check and fix the properties of the rebar set (for example, the bending radius) or the leg face or leg surface.
Show the leg faces and leg surfaces
To modify rebar sets by using leg faces, you first need to make the leg faces visible.
Tekla Structures also shows the leg surfaces. They automatically adapt to the geometry of the parts they are associated with. You can only modify leg surfaces by using their properties or contextual toolbar, not by using direct modification.
Alternatively, you can use the keyboard
shortcut Alt+1 or set the advanced option XS_REBARSET_SHOW_LEGFACES to TRUE
.
Modify the leg faces
You can use any of the following methods when you modify rebar set leg faces.
You can modify leg face properties also in the property pane.
Modify the leg surfaces
Use these methods to modify rebar set leg surfaces.
You can modify leg surface properties also in the property pane. After modifying the properties of the selected leg surfaces, click Modify to save the changes.
