Define and Add a Rebar Hook

After placing rebar in a host, you can modify rebar properties to assign hooks.

Rebar hooks have a matrix relationship between the hook angle and rebar size. The rebar hook type comprises a defined hook angle and initial hook length. If the existing hooks are appropriate, you can start this procedure at step 7.

1. In the Project Browser, navigate to FamiliesStructural RebarRebar Hook.
2. Right-click a hook, and select Duplicate.
3. Double-click the new copy.
4. Define the Style, Hook Angle, and Extension Multiplier in the Rebar hook Lengths dialog.
5. Click OK.
6. Right-click the new hook type, and select Rename. Enter a name for the hook type. You can now apply this hook type to instances within the project to ensure accurate scheduling.
7. Select either a rebar instance or a rebar set. This will require a section view or unobscured rebar visibility settings.
8. On the Properties palette, add hooks as needed under the Construction section:
   • Select a hook type from the Hook at Start parameter.
   • Select a hook type from the Hook at End parameter.
