Define the shape of the rebar mark. In the descriptive option images, P1 is the first point that you pick and P2 the second one. Mark x indicates the locations of the marks defined on the Mark 1 – Mark 3 tabs. The options are:

Option 1:

• The leader line is perpendicular to the rebars.

• The mark line is parallel to the rebars.

Example:

Option 2:

• The leader line is perpendicular to the rebars.

• The mark line is also perpendicular to the rebars.

Example:

Option 3:

• The leader line is perpendicular to the rebars.

• The mark line is horizontal.

Example:

Option 4:

• The leader line is perpendicular to the rebars.

• The mark line is vertical.

Option 5:

• The leader line direction is defined by an angle relative to the rebars. The angle can be entered for the option A2.

• The mark line direction is defined by an angle relative to the horizontal line. The angle can be entered for the option A1.

Option 6:

• See the image above to see how to pick the points P1 and P2. Use the option B to define the distance of the marks.

Define the shape of the leader line. The available options depend on the selected mark line option.

You can also affect the shape of the leader line for many of the options with the settings d1 , d2 , h , v , and e.

Define the shape of the mark line. The options are

You can also affect the shape of the mark line for some of the options with settings b1 , b2 , a , and c , and e

Define an offset for Mark 3 from the mark line.

• 1/8
• 1/16
• 1/32
• 1/10
• 1/100
• 1/1000

For example, for precision 0.33, the actual value 50.40 is displayed as 50.33.

1/8, 1/16, and 1/32 are for imperial units.

1/10, 1/100, and 1/1000 are used for defining precision without rounding.

Values A B C

Sum values A B C

Along rebar axis

Length along rebar axes

Sum segm rebar axis

Length TplEd

Values A B C :

If you select Along rebar axis , the length is calculated along the center line of the rebar:

Sum segm rebar axis counts rebar lengths from rebar geometry. This option does not take into account bending radius lengths.

Length TplEd takes rebar length from template attribute (user attribute property LENGTH).

These options are only available for some of the following mark content:

• Length

• Cc

• cc min

• cc max

• cc exact

• cc target

Total number in rebar group

Number displayed in view

Total number in cast unit

These options are only available for mark content Number.

Total number in rebar group : Displays the total number of rebars in the rebar group, regardless of the number of the physically visible rebars in the drawing.

Number displayed in view : Only displays the number of the visible rebars in the drawing view.

Total number in cast unit : Displays the total number of rebars in the cast unit.

Row distance

Define the distance between the mark rows.

Example: Row distance = 0

Example: Row distance = 5

Extra line length

When Mark 1 and Mark 2 have no text, the Extra line length setting on the Mark 3 tab is activated. Specify the length of the line.

Distribution line : Color

Distribution line : Line type

Leader line : Color
