The Revit API provides classes to manage reinforcement, such as rebar, reinforcement bars, or fabric in valid hosts, such as concrete columns, beams, walls, foundations, and structural floors.
Topics in this section
Rebar
The Rebar class represents rebar used to reinforce suitable elements, such as concrete beams, columns, slabs or foundations.
Area and Path Reinforcement
The Revit API provides classes representing area and path reinforcement in Revit Structure.
Fabric Area and Sheets
Fabric Sheets provide the model representation for welded wire fabrics typically used in concrete slab and sometimes wall construction.
Rebar Containers
Rebar Containers are elements which represent an aggregation of rebars in one host. This element can only be created via the API.
Reinforcement Settings
Several settings regarding reinforcement in the model are controlled at the document level and are accessed through the ReinfocementSettings class for the document.
Reinforcement Rounding
Reinforcement rounding is important for preparation of construction documents. Rebar specified to a length tolerance any smaller than industry or local standard is typically viewed as unacceptable for specifying reinforcing.
