Valid Reinforcement Hosts

A valid reinforcement host consists of a valid family which has a Material for Model Behavior parameter of either Concrete or Precast Concrete. Walls, floors, and slab edges can be valid hosts as long as they contain a concrete layer and have their Structural Usage instance property set to something other than non-structural. See also Modifying Type Properties and Changing the Physical Properties of a Material.

Valid hosts include the following families:

• Structural Framing
• Structural Columns
• Structural Foundations
• Structural Connections
• Floors
• Walls
• Foundation Slab
• Wall Foundation
• Slab Edge

Note: You can enable Generic Model elements to host reinforcement. Open the element in the Family Editor. On the Properties palette select Can Host Rebar in the Structural section. Reload the family into your project.
