The following table describes each parameter contained on the Area Reinforcement Properties palette.
Area reinforcement properties for structural walls are identified as either exterior or interior to reflect the vertical orientation of the rebar. Properties for structural floors are identified as either top or bottom to reflect the horizontal orientation.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Construction | |
| Layout Rule | Specifies the type of rebar layout. Select either Maximum Spacing or Fixed Number. See Placing Rebar Sets. |
| Additional Top/Exterior Cover Offset | Specifies an additional offset from the top/exterior rebar cover. This allows placing multiple rebar elements together in different area reinforcement layers. |
| Additional Bottom/Interior Cover Offset | Specifies an additional offset from the bottom/interior rebar cover. This allows placing multiple rebar elements together in different area reinforcement layers. |
| Graphics | |
| View Visibility States | Accesses rebar view visibility states. Click Edit to either view or edit the state. See Rebar View Visibility States. Note: This parameter is only available when hosting rebar in area reinforcement. See Modifying Reinforcement Settings.

| Comments | User comments |
| Mark | A 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. |
