Using this dialog, you can define the method of reinforcement description in the structure drawings of the elements. Parametrization of the reinforcement description is separate for the defined element views (view, section).
To display the Reinforcement description dialog:
- On the Drawing templates manager dialog, for Drawing components, select Reinforcement description.
- Click New or Modify.
For Style name, enter a name for the component style, and click Save (this is only available when creating a style, not when modifying an existing style).
A selection list for selection of a structure element type (beam, column, spread footing, etc.) is located in the upper part of the dialog; it defines for which element the reinforcement description will be defined.
The options parametrizing the description location and the description styles are available on tabs related to the specified element views.
The settings related to the description location include separate parameters for the distribution of bars and for single bars. It is possible to define distances between the descriptions and element edges (in the units used in the model). It is possible to define location of the bar distribution description and the leader type for single bars in the selection fields.
Settings related to the description styles include separate parameters for different types of the presented reinforcement. It is possible to select the description types, the method of presentation of the distribution bars and the description style for the bar distribution. The description style defined in the program settings can be defined for bars and steel profiles.
Parameters related to generation of the reinforcement table and the symbols of bars in the created drawings of elements are available in the bottom part of the dialog. It is possible to select the reinforcement table type and its style in accordance with the settings defined in the Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement DWT file.
If you select drawing symbols of bars in accordance with a specified style, the symbols of bars are added to the reinforcement drawings (views and sections of the structure element).
