Use this option to define typical RC structure elements and their reinforcement. There are several ways to access this option:
- Menu: select one of the options available in the submenu Reinforcement > Structure elements - reinforcement
- Ribbon: select one of the options available in the panel ASD Structure elements > Structure elements - reinforcement
- Toolbar: click the appropriate icon in the bar Structure elements - reinforcement
- Command line: RBCT_MACRO.
Typical structures are grouped into certain categories. When choosing a structure, find an appropriate category. The current version of Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing - Reinforcement offers access to the following databases (macros) to define geometry / reinforcement of RC structure elements:
- Spread footing
- Sleeve footing
- Continuous footing
- Column
- Beam
- Opening
- Corner
- Slab corner
- Distribution of prefabricated slabs
- Stairs
- Pile cap (pile foundation)
- Pile
- Ground beam
- Parapet
- Retaining wall
- Additional connecting elements
- Linear element.
The macros listed are available from the menu (Reinforcement > Structure elements - reinforcement), ribbon (ASD Structure elements > Structure elements - reinforcement) and in the toolbar (Structure elements - reinforcement):
- Spread footing -
- Sleeve footing -
- Continuous footing -
- Column -
- Beam -
- Opening -
- Corner -
- Slab corner -
- Distribution of prefabricated slabs -
- Stairs -
- Pile cap (pile foundation) -
- Pile -
- Ground beam -
- Parapet -
- Retaining wall -
- Linear element consisting of two options:
Create linear element - the option defines an RC structure element (section of an RC element) that is assigned element length; such an element may be saved to the database 
Insert linear element - the option inserts an RC structure element (section of an RC element) that has been assigned length; after selecting a linear element, a block of drawing elements is placed in a drawing - a selected linear element is assigned a name and length.
The categories of typical structures are configured within a given model. After selecting a category, an additional dialog displays in which you can specify parameters of a selected element of an RC structure. The shape of this dialog depends on a structure category selected.
In the Formworks menu (Reinforcement > Structure elements - formworks), ribbon (ASD Structure elements > Structure elements - formworks) and in the toolbar (Structure elements - formworks) the following macros for formworks of RC structure elements are available:
- Spread footing -
- Sleeve footing -
- Continuous footing -
- Column -
- Beam -
- Stairs -
- Pile cap (pile foundation) -
- Ground beam -
- Retaining wall -
- Parapet -
- Additional connecting elements -
