In the Family Editor, click Create tab
Properties panel
Family Types.
Use the Rebar Shape Parameters dialog to define the base attributes (parameters) of the rebar shape. The parameters become the default settings in the rebar shape types when placed in a project.
The following table describes the editable properties of the Rebar Shape Parameters dialog:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Construction | |
| Style | Select: <Standard> to use Bend Diameter or Stirrup/Tie to use the Stirrup/Tie Bend Diameter. |
| Start Hook Offset | Specifies the length of the Start Hook offset. Note: This value is used in the family editor when creating the rebar shape. When the shape is loaded into a project file the actual values are taken from the Structural Rebar Bar and Rebar Hook definitions.
|
| Start Hook Length | Specifies the length of the Start Hook. Note: This value is used in the family editor when creating the rebar shape. When the shape is loaded into a project file the actual values are taken from the Structural Rebar Bar and Rebar Hook definitions.
|
| Hook at Start | Lists appropriate hook angles defined by the Style selection. |
| Hook at End | Lists of appropriate hook angles defined by the Style selection. |
| End Hook Offset | Specifies the length of End Hook offset. Note: This value is used in the family editor when creating the rebar shape. When the shape is loaded into a project file the actual values are taken from the Structural Rebar Bar and Rebar Hook definitions.
|
| End Hook Length | Specifies the length of End Hook. Note: This value is used in the family editor when creating the rebar shape. When the shape is loaded into a project file the actual values are taken from the Structural Rebar Bar and Rebar Hook definitions.
|
| Bend Diameter (default) | Specifies the diameter of the bend of the bar type. |
| Bar Diameter (default) | Specifies the diameter of the bar. |
| Dimensions | |
| A, B, C,... (default) | Specifies variable lengths whose quantities, parameters, and formula names are defined by the content of the shape. |
| Length of each bar (default) | Specifies the overall rebar length of the standard shape (excluding hooks). You can calculate non-standard shape lengths by editing the formula. |
