The following table describes each parameter contained on the Properties palette. They consist of the combined parameters of bar type, shape type, and hook type.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Construction | |
| Schedule Mark | Specifies rebar instances with a rebar schedule mark. The mark improves scheduling and organization. |
| Style | Specifies the bend radii control, either Standard or Stirrup/Tie. See Rebar Type Properties. |
| Shape | Specifies the identification number of the rebar shape. |
| Hook at Start | Lists appropriate rebar hook types for the selected style. |
| Hook at End | Lists appropriate rebar hook types for the selected style. |
| Base Finishing Turn | Spiral rebar only. Specifies the number of complete coils to close the spiral base.  |
| Top Finishing Turn | Spiral rebar only. Specifies the number of complete coils to close the spiral top.  |
| Height | Spiral rebar only. Specifies the total height of the spiral rebar. |
| Pitch | Spiral rebar only. Specifies the distance between rebar coils in the spiral.  |
| Rounding Overrides | Specifies the rounding parameters for the selected bar instance. This overrides the rounding parameters defined in the Rebar Type Properties dialog. Note: This parameter is available only if reinforcement rounding was specified in the project.
|
| Rebar Set | |
| Layout Rule | Specifies the type of rebar layout. Select either Maximum Spacing or Fixed Number. See Placing Rebar Sets. |
| Quantity | Specifies the number of rebar instances within the reinforcement. This parameter is only accessible with the Fixed Number Layout Rule. |
| Spacing | Specifies the spacing for the rebar placed in the major direction. This parameter is only accessible with the Maximum Spacing Layout Rule. |
| Graphics | |
| View Visibility States | Accesses rebar view visibility states. Click Edit to either view or edit the state. See Rebar View Visibility States. |
| Structural | |
| Reinforcement Volume | Displays the calculated estimate for reinforcement volume (read-only). |
| Dimensions | |
| Bar Length | Displays the length of an individual rebar (read-only). Note: If you use reinforcement rounding in the project, this dimension displays in a dual format: exact and rounded in brackets. See Modifying Reinforcement Settings.
|
| Total Bar Length | Displays the total length of all rebars in a set (read-only). Note: If you use reinforcement rounding in the project, this dimension displays only as a rounded value. See Modifying Reinforcement Settings.
|
| A, B, C,... (default) | Specifies the variable lengths whose quantities, parameters, and formula names are defined by the content of the shape. Note: If you use reinforcement rounding in the project, these dimensions display in a dual format: exact and rounded in brackets. You can edit only exact values. See Modifying Reinforcement Settings.
|
| Length of each bar | Specifies the calculated rebar length for rebar shapes (read-only). |
| Identity Data | |
| Comments | General comments about the rebar instance. You can include this information in a schedule. |
| Mark | An instance-specific label used, for example, as a shop mark. This value must be unique for each element in a project. Revit warns you if the value is in use, but allows you to continue using it. You can see the warning using the Review Warnings command. See Reviewing Warning Messages. |
| Phasing | |
| Phase Created | Indicates the creation phase of the host element. See Project Phasing. |
| Phase Demolished | Indicates the demolition phase of the host element. See Project Phasing. |
