Using additional bars above columns

Create

To create Additional bars above columns, first select the column, then the slab. Input the placement-direction of the first layer by two points:

The rebars will always be placed middle above the column and will also adapt if you move the column. You can define common rebar settings for both bars in the dialog.

Modify

You can modify the settings by using dialog menu or changing settings inside the plugin. This plugin can detect changes you made inside. This means you can e.g. change the rebar-diameter, class or similar properties on the RebarSet itself in the property-pane. Therefore you need to switch on 

. If you then select the component, it will load correct settings by using "Get" Button or double-click the component. Please note that it can only detect changes on the properties, but not from the geometry (e.g. rebar length). These values should be changed using dialog or direct modification as mentioned above.

Known limitations

• The bars will always be placed horizontally, even though the slab might be sloped.
