Path Reinforcement Instance Properties

View and modify the parameters that define the instance properties of path reinforcement.

To change instance properties, select the element and change its properties on the Properties palette.

Name	Description
Construction
Layout Rule	Specifies the type of rebar layout. Select either Maximum Spacing or Fixed Number. See Place a Rebar Set.
Additional Offset	Specifies an additional offset from the rebar cover. This allows placing multiple rebar elements together in different path reinforcement layers.
Graphics
View Visibility States	Accesses rebar view visibility states. Click Edit to either view or edit the state. See Adjust the Visibility for Rebar in a View. Note: This parameter is only available when hosting rebar in path reinforcement. See General Reinforcement Settings.
Structural
Reinforcement Volume	Calculates and displays reinforcement volume (read-only).
Layers
Face	Specifies the face justification, either top or bottom.
Bar Spacing	Specifies the spacing for rebar placed in the major direction. This parameter is only accessible with the Maximum Spacing Layout Rule.
Number of Bars	Specifies the number of rebar instances within the reinforcement. You can access this parameter with the Fixed Number Layout Rule.
Primary Bar - Type	Specifies the bar type.
Primary Bar - Length	Specifies the length of the rebar.
Primary Bar - Shape	Specifies the main rebar shape used in the path reinforcement system. Available shapes are either single segments or those with mutually perpendicular segments.
Primary Bar - Start Hook Type	Specifies the type of hook (either Standard or Stirrup/Tie) and the angle for the start of the path reinforcement.
Primary Bar - End Hook Type	Specifies the type of hook (either Standard or Stirrup/Tie) and the angle for the end of the path reinforcement.
Primary Bar - Hook Orientation	Specifies the orientation of the rebar hook, either up or down.
Alternating Bars	When selected, enables alternate bar type.
Alternating Bar - Type	Specifies the bar type. Selecting the Alternating Bars parameter enables this parameter.
Alternating Bar - Length	Specifies the length of the rebar. Selecting the Alternating Bars parameter enables this parameter.
Alternating Bar - Shape	Specifies the alternating rebar shape used in the path reinforcement system. Available shapes are single segments or those with mutually perpendicular segments. Selecting the Alternating Bars parameter enables this parameter.
Alternating Bar - Offset	Specifies the offset distance from the primary bar. Selecting the Alternating Bars parameter enables this parameter.
Alternating Bar - Start Hook Type	Specifies the type of hook (either Standard or Stirrup/Tie) and the angle for the start of the path reinforcement. Selecting the Alternating Bars parameter enables this parameter.
Alternating Bar - End Hook Type	Specifies the type of hook (either Standard or Stirrup/Tie) and the angle for the end of the path reinforcement. Selecting the Alternating Bars parameter enables this parameter.
Alternating Bar - Hook Orientation	Specifies the orientation of the rebar hook, either up or down. Selecting the Alternating Bars parameter enables this parameter.

Mark	A label used, for example, as a shop mark. This value must be unique for each element in a project. Revit warns you if the value is in use, but allows you to continue using it. You can see the warning using the Review Warnings command. See Reviewing Warning Messages.
Host Category	Specifies the current host associated with the reinforcement elements: Structural Column, Structural Framing, Structural Foundation, Wall, Floor, or Part.
Host Mark	Specifies the Mark parameter of the rebar host.
Phasing
Phase Created	Indicates the creation phase of the host element. See Project Phasing.
Phase Demolished	Indicates the demolition phase of the host element. See Project Phasing.
