Modify a Rebar Shape

Manually adjust the shape of a rebar element in respect to the snapping behaviors of the host cover references.

1. Select the rebar to be modified.
2. To change a rebar shape, select a new shape from the Rebar Shape Type drop-down on the Options Bar. To select from the Rebar Shape browser, click on the Options Bar.

   Rebar will retain its constraints to its host. However, significant shape changes can extend rebar beyond the cover reference of the host.

3. In the Type Selector at the top of the Properties palette, select the desired rebar type. Rebar size can alter the rebar shape, possibly causing it to fail if the bend (fillet) radius of the bar is too big for the current configuration.
4. Click and drag the rebar shape handles to reposition lengths of bars and rebar segments.
5. To modify a rebar sketch, click Modify | Structural Rebar tabMode panel (Edit Sketch).
6. Using the tools on the Modify | Structural Rebar > Edit Rebar Sketch tab, adjust the rebar sketch.
7. Click Modify Structural Rebar > Edit Rebar Sketch tabMode panel (Finish Edit Mode).
