There is a new custom template attribute, CUSTOM.ELEMENT_WEIGHT.REINFORCED

The attribute calculates the element weight as follows: The volume of concrete parts minus the volume of steel embeds and reinforcing bars multiplied by a concrete density of 2450 kg/m3 (hard-coded) to achieve the concrete weight. Then the weight of the concrete, reinforcement, and embeds are summed up.
Note!
The calculation uses a steel density of 7850 kg/m3 for steel embeds.
Steel embeds and reinforcing bars are assumed to be completely within the concrete.
The attribute does not take reinforcement meshes into account.

The new CUSTOM.ELEMENT_WEIGHT.REINFORCED is more accurate in cast units with dense reinforcement than the existing CUSTOM.ELEMENT_WEIGHT.
