About Reinforcement
Use reinforcing tools to add reinforcement elements, such as rebar, reinforcing bars, or fabric, to valid hosts, such as a concrete beam, column, structural floor, or foundation.
About Reinforcing Concrete Parts
Concrete parts created from surface elements (such as walls and floors) possess rebar cover and can host rebar, rebar sets, area reinforcement, path reinforcement, and fabric reinforcement.
General Reinforcement Settings
Specify settings to shape match by referencing hooks and to display independent rebar elements in area and path reinforcement.
Place Rebar
Place individual rebar instances in valid hosts.
Sketch Planar Rebar
Use common sketch tools for manual placement of rebar shapes within a valid host.
Video: Detail with Multi-Planar Rebar
Place sets and instances of multi-planar rebar in your model to accommodate design and use of different methods of reinforcement.
Sketch Multi-planar Rebar
Use common sketch tools to define rebar shapes that are bent in two planes.
Create Standard 3D Rebar Shapes using Hook Orientation
Define 3D rebar shapes by rotating the hooks at the ends of the bars. Place rebar with 3D rotated hooks or rotate the hooks of existing bars.
Adjust the Visibility for Rebar and Rebar Couplers in a View
Rebar elements in a model are contained within host elements. In hidden line view they are obscured by the host. You can set overrides for each view in a project, so the rebar design can be documented.
Place a Rebar Set
Add a linear set of rebar in a section view of a host.
Free Form Rebar
Learn how to place rebar and rebar sets in concrete modeling elements with complex geometry.
Define and Add a Rebar Hook
After placing rebar in a host, you can modify rebar properties to assign hooks.
Rebar Instance Properties
View and modify the parameters that define the instance properties of rebar.
Rebar Type Properties
View and modify the parameters that define the type properties of rebar elements.
Rebar Shape Family Properties
Modify a rebar shape family to define OmniClass classification across all types of the shape in your model.
