Use the Rebar Shape Parameters dialog to define the base attributes (parameters) of the rebar shape. The parameters become the default settings in the rebar shape types when placed in a project.
Where is it?
- In the Family Shape Editor, click Create tab
Properties panel
(Family Types).
The following table describes the editable properties of the Rebar Shape Parameters dialog:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Construction | |
| Style | Select: <Standard> to use Bend Diameter or Stirrup/Tie to use the Stirrup/Tie Bend Diameter. |
| Start Hook Offset | Specifies the length of the Start Hook offset. Note: This value is used in the family editor when creating the rebar shape. When the shape is loaded into a project file the actual values are taken from the Structural Rebar Bar and Rebar Hook definitions.
|
| Start Hook Length | Specifies the length of the Start Hook. Note: This value is used in the family editor when creating the rebar shape. When the shape is loaded into a project file the actual values are taken from the Structural Rebar Bar and Rebar Hook definitions.
|
| Shape Image | Specifies an image to associate with the rebar shape type. To create a rebar schedule with the associated images, include the Shape Image field in a rebar schedule in the model. |
| Hook at Start | Lists appropriate hook angles defined by the Style selection. |
| Hook at End | Lists of appropriate hook angles defined by the Style selection. |
| End Hook Offset | Specifies the length of End Hook offset. Note: This value is used in the family editor when creating the rebar shape. When the shape is loaded into a project file the actual values are taken from the Structural Rebar Bar and Rebar Hook definitions.
|
| End Hook Length | Specifies the length of End Hook. Note: This value is used in the family editor when creating the rebar shape. When the shape is loaded into a project file the actual values are taken from the Structural Rebar Bar and Rebar Hook definitions.
|
| Bend Diameter (default) | Specifies the diameter of the bend of the bar type. |
| Bar Diameter (default) | Specifies the diameter of the bar. |
| Dimensions | |
| A, B, C,... (default) | Specifies variable lengths whose quantities, parameters, and formula names are defined by the content of the shape. |
| Length of each bar (default) | Specifies the overall rebar length of the standard shape (excluding hooks). You can calculate non-standard shape lengths by editing the formula. |
