To define the linear distribution, you should determine 2 points or lines with respect to which the reinforcement will be distributed. The side of a distribution segment the reinforcement is positioned, depends on the segment sense. The rule of clockwise movement applies (as during reinforcement definition).
The distribution is carried out only along the length of a segment defined. The distribution start point corresponds to the first point indicated while defining a segment or to the closest point during definition with the use of a line.
All operations are carried out ONLY along a selected line within the distribution region.
The modular distribution starts with defining a position of a first bar to be distributed (the position may be determined graphically or by entering the value from the keyboard). A unit of the value entered is the unit of the Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing set in preferences. While defining distribution, the following options are available:
Select distribution type: [Linear / varying Linearly / Arc / Point] <Linear> :
Distribution method: [Zone / Module / Caquot] < Module>
Direction of projection - viewing a bar [X /Y/ Any/ Segment ] <Y>
Any – Determine direction of viewing a bar
Segment – Select bar segment
