Use the Reinforcement description dialog to define parameters for description of bar ends. The Reinforcement description dialog displays after you select the description of bar ends and click New or Modify on the Description of reinforcement shape dialog.
The options included in the Bar end field refer to the way the ends of reinforcing bars are displayed (additional lines at bar ends). You can specify a graphical designation and an arrowhead with the bar number.
A description of the bar end can be deleted, because it is not linked with the designation of the bar end. Deleting the designation also deletes the description of the bar end.
Specify Bar end parameters:
- End type
- Color and thickness of the line used to draw bar ends
- Symbol size
- Description of the bar end (none or description type: 1, 01)
Under Description designation, define parameters of the line that represents a bar end description:
- Type
If you select either of the arrow designation types, the bar end description is inserted with the arrowhead
o under the bar at the specified distance + a cover value
o over the bar, if the Distance value is negative (then the cover is subtracted)
None - if you select this, the description of a bar end will be inserted over the bar end at the specified distance, as shown
- Color
- Thickness
- Size
- Distance of the line end
The options under Description text appearance define a description of bar ends:
- Style
- Color
- Size
- Location - over, under, or next to the line
