Allow numerical rounding of rebar lengths to simplify organization and annotation when tagging, filtering, or scheduling rebar.
Access the settings on the Reinforcement Settings dialog.
Name | Description |
---|---|
Use reinforcement rounding |
When selected, calculated bar lengths, bar segment lengths, and fabric sheet dimensions are rounded. When cleared, calculated bar lengths, bar segment lengths, and fabric sheet dimensions display their exact values. |
Rounding method | Specifies the direction for number rounding.
Nearest: Rounds to the nearest rounding increment (up or down). For example, 3.72 becomes 4, and 3.42 becomes 3. Up: Rounds to the next higher Rounding increment. For example, both 3.72 and 3.42 become 4. Down: Rounds to the previous lesser Rounding increment. For example, both 3.72 and 3.42 become 3. |
Rounding | Specifies one of several preset rounding increments. To enter an unlisted value in the Rounding increment field, select Custom. |
Rounding increment | Displays the current rounding increment. To specify an increment, select Custom in the Rounding drop menu. |
Rounding values defined in the Reinforcement Settings dialog are propagated to the Rebar Type Properties and the Rebar Instance Properties dialogs. Rebar length displayed in the Properties palette displays in a dual format: exact length and rounded length in brackets. You can manually override these values for the bar type and the bar instance by editing the exact length properties.
