After selecting the Options option from the selection tree located in the Job preferences dialog, the following options display:
In the Reinforcement dialog you specify the method for defining a hook length:
- 
as a length of the straight segment of a hook
- 
as a real length of a hook.
Use the Bar length without lap splice in surface distributions field to specify the length of bars for which reinforcement lap splices will not be used in reinforcement distribution (see: Distribution/definition of reinforcement - lap splices). Bars are distributed so that they fit the distribution region, but without taking account of the maximum length of bars (single bars in the distribution can be longer than Lmax) and without laps.
Use the lists in the Precision field to select precision for:
- length of reinforcing bars
- length of reinforcing bar segments
- bar spacing.
Once the Identify bar shape code option is selected, the bar code automatically adjusts after it is drawn. All types of bars defined in the program will be compared with the bars with the code from the database used by the user; if a defined shape does not find its equivalent in the database, it will remain a bar without code.
In the upper right part of the dialog is the Switch off description of reinforcement crosses option. If it is activated, values loaded with reinforcement crosses for slabs will not be displayed (in the drawing).
Use the Numbering of reinforcement positions option to specify the way numbers of reinforcement positions are presented (it is particularly important for the British RC code); you can present the numbering as 1, 2, 3, ... or 01, 02, 03, ...
Below is the Add lap splice for bars of point reinforcement without assigned shape option. If selected, lap splices are added automatically for point reinforcement bars that are not assigned a shape (only their length is defined) and whose length exceeds the commercial length of reinforcing bars (12 m, for example). it is presented in the reinforcement table. Lap splices for bars are generated based on the options for lap splices of reinforcing bars on the Codes > Materials tab in the Job Preferences dialog.
