Add a Rebar Hook

After placing rebar in a host, you can modify rebar properties to assign hooks.

Rebar hooks have a matrix relationship between the hook angle and rebar size. The rebar hook type comprises a defined hook angle and initial hook length.

1. Select either a rebar instance or a rebar set. This will require a section view or unobscured rebar visibility settings.
2. On the Properties palette, add hooks as needed under the Construction section:
   • Select a hook type from the Hook at Start parameter.
   • Select a hook type from the Hook at End parameter.

Define a rebar hook type

1. In the Project Browser, navigate to FamiliesStructural RebarRebar Hook.
2. Right-click a hook, and select Duplicate.
3. Double-click the new copy.
4. Define the Style, Hook Angle, and Extension Multiplier in the Rebar hook Lengths dialog.
5. Click OK.
6. Right-click the new hook type, and select Rename. Enter a name for the hook type.

You can now apply this hook type to instances within the project to ensure accurate scheduling.
