Rebar Hooks

Rebar hooks have a matrix relationship between the hook angle and rebar size. The rebar hook type comprises a defined hook angle and initial hook length, as explained in Rebar Hook Type Properties. You can change the hook lengths for the rebar type, as explained in Rebar Type Properties. After the placement of rebar, Revit provides graphical controls to modify the rebar orientation, as explained in Modifying Rebar Hooks.

Place rebar hooks

1. Select either a rebar instance or a rebar set. This will require a section view or unobscured rebar visibility settings.
2. On the Properties palette, add hooks as needed under the Construction section:
   • Select a hook type from the Hook at Start parameter.
   • Select a hook type from the Hook at End parameter.
