Area Reinforcement Type Properties

Note: Area Reinforcement Type properties are not available in Revit 2009 or later releases. Newly created area reinforcement instances will not have these properties. However, legacy projects maintain the properties for editing purposes. View non-legacy rebar cover reference settings in the Structural section of Instance Properties of a host. See Editing Rebar Cover.

To change type properties, select an element and click Modify tabProperties panel (Type Properties). Changes to type properties apply to all instances in the project.

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.
