Reinforcement Rounding

Allow rounding of bar and bar segment lengths.

The settings below are found in the Reinforcement rounding section of the Reinforcement Settings dialog. Where is it?

• Click Structure tab Reinforcement panel drop-down (Reinforcement Settings).

Reinforcement rounding simplifies organization and annotation when tagging, filtering, or scheduling rebar.

Select Use reinforcement rounding.

This option determines if reinforcement rounding applies to the project. If Use reinforcement rounding is:

• Selected, then calculated Bar lengths and Bar segment lengths are rounded
• Cleared, then calculated Bar lengths and Bar segment lengths display their exact values.

Specify values for Bar length and Bar segment length for Structural Rebar. You can also specify Fabric Sheet dimension values for Structural Fabric Reinforcement. Select Custom from the list and enter an unlisted value in the Rounding increment field.

Note: Units are inherited from the Project Units setting, however reinforcement rounding will override Project Units rounding settings for rebar instances.

Rounding values defined in the Reinforcement Settings dialog are propagated to the Rebar Type Properties and the Rebar Instance Properties dialogs. Rebar length displayed in the Instance Properties palette will display in a dual format: exact length and rounded length in brackets. You can manually override these values for the bar type and the bar instance by editing the exact length properties.
