Creating a Rebar Wire from Sketcher

You can design a rebar layer from a curve by selecting Wire selection. The Wire selection creation mode allows you to design a rebar an existing curve or from scratch by creating a curve either in the Sketcher app or in the Concrete Structures 3D Design app.

Before you begin:
  • Create a concrete part with a rebar object to help you organize your concrete structure.
  • Create the rebar features inside a geometrical set under a 3D shape.
  • Define the working context on the created geometrical set that will accommodate the rebar features.
Note: For more information, see Rebar Features Creation: Recommendation.

About the Wire Selection Mode
  1. From the Reinforcement section of the action bar, click Rebar Creation .
  2. Click Wire selection to define a rebar layer based on wires.
  3. Click to enter the Sketcher.

    To quickly create a Sketch plane, see Creating a Rebar Wire from a Smart Sketch Plane.

  4. Click Exit .
    The curve is added along with an axis system.
  5. Optional: Modify the axis system by selecting the context toolbar options of your choice:
    OptionDescription
    Replace Replaces the axis system.
    Edit Axis System Edits the axis system.
    Move Moves the axis system.
    Isolate Isolates the axis system.

    If no pattern is defined, this step is not relevant.

  6. Configure the rebar position, adjust parameters, configure the pattern if necessary, and specify hooks and bends.
