How to cut rebar sets

You can cut rebar sets automatically by the existing cuts in the concrete parts or manually by using the cutting commands on the Edit tab. You can modify cuts in rebar sets the same way as you modify cuts in parts in the model, by using direct modification.

You can use the following commands to create cuts:

Concrete cover settings are also applied to cuts, even on cut edges that are parallel to reinforcing bars.

Cut a rebar set using a cut in a concrete part

When you create rebar sets for concrete parts using the Create longitudinal rebars, Create crossing rebars, and Create planar rebars commands, Tekla Structures automatically cuts the new rebar sets using the existing cuts in the concrete parts. If you add a new cut to a concrete part with a rebar set, the rebar set is not automatically cut. If you want to cut the rebar set as well, use the Part cut command, and use the new cut as the cutting part.

On the Edit tab, click Part cut.
Select the rebar set you want to cut.
Select the cut in the concrete part.

Tekla Structures cuts the rebar set.

Modify a cut in a rebar set

You can modify cuts in rebar sets using direct modification. For example, you can make a cut in a rebar set of a different size or shape from a cut in a concrete part.

Ensure that the Direct modification switch is active.
Select the cut in the rebar set.
Modify the cut using direct modification.
