You can define 3D rebar shapes by rotating the hooks at the ends of the bars, model rebar chairs (sanders) or other 3D bars, and extract full fabrication data in the schedules.
You can place rebar with 3D rotated hooks or rotate the hooks of existing bars. The bar shape is matched to an existing shape with similar rotation, or a new shape is created at various hook rotation intervals.
Free form bars can also match to rebar shapes with 3D hooks, ensuring that fabrication data can be extracted for such bars.
Tip: For this shape matching behavior to occur, include the hooks in the rebar shape definition. Use Structure tab
Reinforcement panelReinforcement Settings General Reinforcement Settings.
