1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:04,500
Open BIMSpeed .str, column rebar, and the

2
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:05,960
first column rebar item.

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,760
This guide uses the classic command, not column rebar

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:10,320
version 2.

5
00:00:11,140 --> 00:00:14,820
Select one vertical column per base level, then finish.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,780
For a vertical stack, select the corresponding columns across

7
00:00:18,780 --> 00:00:19,220
levels.

8
00:00:19,780 --> 00:00:22,740
Multiple columns on the same base level are rejected

9
00:00:22,740 --> 00:00:23,840
by this classic workflow.

10
00:00:25,367 --> 00:00:29,027
In rebar by levels, select the level and check

11
00:00:29,027 --> 00:00:32,387
the section size, height, covers, and beam or floor

12
00:00:32,387 --> 00:00:32,927
association.

13
00:00:33,327 --> 00:00:36,267
This example is a 300 by 400 millimeter column.

14
00:00:36,667 --> 00:00:40,847
Set Cx to 4, Cy to 3, Main

15
00:00:40,847 --> 00:00:44,347
Diameter D20, and Main Stirrup Diameter D8.

16
00:00:44,767 --> 00:00:47,927
The preview reports 10 main bars, because corner bars

17
00:00:47,927 --> 00:00:49,227
belong to both face counts.

18
00:00:49,527 --> 00:00:52,787
These are example software inputs, not a design recommendation.

19
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:58,600
Use Distribution Bar introduces the separate distribution diameter.

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,720
Inspect which positions change in the section instead of

21
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,880
treating it as a replacement for every main bar.

22
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,680
For separated distribution, switch the section layout radio.

23
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,760
Set Outer Layer Rebar Numbers, enable the inner layer

24
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,460
if needed, and set its count.

25
00:01:13,900 --> 00:01:15,920
The layout has its own diameter choices.

26
00:01:16,180 --> 00:01:17,140
Check them after switching.

27
00:01:18,893 --> 00:01:22,053
This screen shows the separated distribution controls after changing

28
00:01:22,053 --> 00:01:24,113
the outer count and enabling the inner layer.

29
00:01:24,513 --> 00:01:26,973
Compare the section preview and total before running.

30
00:01:27,733 --> 00:01:30,453
Apply for Other Levels opens copying only when more

31
00:01:30,453 --> 00:01:31,613
than one level is available.

32
00:01:32,053 --> 00:01:34,473
In a single column selection, there is no second

33
00:01:34,473 --> 00:01:35,693
level to receive the settings.

34
00:01:36,273 --> 00:01:39,313
After copying, inspect each target level and its host

35
00:01:39,313 --> 00:01:39,713
dimensions.

36
00:01:41,233 --> 00:01:44,833
For a closed inner tie, select Closed Tie.

37
00:01:45,213 --> 00:01:47,793
Move to the first longitudinal bar on one side

38
00:01:47,793 --> 00:01:48,833
of the section and click.

39
00:01:49,153 --> 00:01:51,293
Move to a different bar on that same side

40
00:01:51,293 --> 00:01:51,953
and click again.

41
00:01:52,233 --> 00:01:55,293
The rectangle spans between those positions and the opposite

42
00:01:55,293 --> 00:01:55,633
side.

43
00:01:56,133 --> 00:01:58,673
Selecting the identical bar twice raises an error.

44
00:01:59,093 --> 00:02:01,193
Points on different sides can also be rejected.

45
00:02:01,193 --> 00:02:03,793
This capture verifies the preview interaction.

46
00:02:04,093 --> 00:02:07,213
It is not a separate successful generation test.

47
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,660
Select Cross Tie, then click the required longitudinal bar

48
00:02:12,660 --> 00:02:13,780
position in the section.

49
00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:16,620
The preview draws the tie across the section.

50
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,900
Pause over the bar so it highlights before clicking.

51
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:23,540
In the Stirrup tab, set the additional tie diameter,

52
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:26,760
hook type, and whether its spacing follows the main

53
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,160
stirrup.

54
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,960
If it does not follow, enter its own spacing.

55
00:02:31,727 --> 00:02:36,087
The Stirrup tab offers uniform distribution, A1, A2,

56
00:02:36,227 --> 00:02:38,667
A1, or A1, A2.

57
00:02:39,307 --> 00:02:42,907
Here, A1 is 100 and A2 is 200 millimeters.

58
00:02:43,667 --> 00:02:45,407
Distance to first stirrup is 50.

59
00:02:45,687 --> 00:02:49,587
For zoned layouts, L1 uses the greatest enabled criterion.

60
00:02:50,047 --> 00:02:54,147
Minimum 450, clear height divided by 5, and the

61
00:02:54,147 --> 00:02:55,047
column section height.

62
00:02:55,047 --> 00:02:58,307
Cover full lap splice zone and top zone separate.

63
00:02:58,687 --> 00:02:59,647
Change the zone extent.

64
00:03:00,227 --> 00:03:03,287
Check the resulting positions, not just the spacing fields.

65
00:03:05,027 --> 00:03:07,847
Uniform uses one spacing throughout its relevant length.

66
00:03:08,567 --> 00:03:10,587
A1, A2 uses two zones.

67
00:03:10,987 --> 00:03:14,087
A1, A2, A1 provides end zones at both ends.

68
00:03:14,927 --> 00:03:17,287
Spread stirrup into top of beam or floor enables

69
00:03:17,287 --> 00:03:20,207
reinforcement in the beam or floor depth by spacing

70
00:03:20,207 --> 00:03:20,767
or number.

71
00:03:21,347 --> 00:03:23,387
Spread into bottom stops at its underside.

72
00:03:23,387 --> 00:03:27,267
The classic run validation still requires at least one

73
00:03:27,267 --> 00:03:30,487
of the minimum, division, or section height criteria to

74
00:03:30,487 --> 00:03:30,947
be enabled.

75
00:03:32,693 --> 00:03:36,373
For a foundation starter case, enable starter bar settings.

76
00:03:36,933 --> 00:03:40,333
Separate two segments at starter bar separates the starter

77
00:03:40,333 --> 00:03:41,653
and column bar arrangement.

78
00:03:41,653 --> 00:03:44,993
Enable stirrup spacing to add foundation ties.

79
00:03:45,273 --> 00:03:47,293
This example shows 200 millimeters.

80
00:03:48,233 --> 00:03:50,753
HM is 1000 and LB is 350.

81
00:03:51,153 --> 00:03:53,893
The arrows and reverse change bar direction.

82
00:03:54,313 --> 00:03:56,993
Match these values to the actual foundation geometry.

83
00:03:57,353 --> 00:04:00,653
In this session, the advanced frame generation failed, so

84
00:04:00,653 --> 00:04:03,873
these foundation controls are documented as settings, not verified

85
00:04:03,873 --> 00:04:04,233
output.

86
00:04:05,733 --> 00:04:09,573
In settings, choose top hooks bending or starter bar

87
00:04:09,573 --> 00:04:10,733
for continuous columns.

88
00:04:11,313 --> 00:04:13,953
Rebar hook length can use a fixed length or

89
00:04:13,953 --> 00:04:15,293
a diameter multiplier.

90
00:04:15,773 --> 00:04:19,633
The lap group separately specifies lap length and rebar

91
00:04:19,633 --> 00:04:21,333
hook length as diameter multiples.

92
00:04:21,593 --> 00:04:24,053
This screen shows 35 and 30.

93
00:04:24,713 --> 00:04:27,353
Choose the distance from the column bottom or middle

94
00:04:27,353 --> 00:04:30,353
of column, then one or two lap positions.

95
00:04:30,673 --> 00:04:33,593
The distance between two laps is a diameter multiplier.

96
00:04:34,713 --> 00:04:37,053
Bend bar at lapping zone changes offsets.

97
00:04:37,373 --> 00:04:39,353
Grouping affects bars with the same number.

98
00:04:41,093 --> 00:04:44,693
For changing sections, the bend condition uses offset E

99
00:04:44,693 --> 00:04:46,953
and the ratio HD over E.

100
00:04:46,953 --> 00:04:49,853
Add elevation and add partition.

101
00:04:50,313 --> 00:04:51,373
Write information to bars.

102
00:04:52,073 --> 00:04:55,233
The floor beam settings group controls a default depth,

103
00:04:55,573 --> 00:04:57,993
manual selection, or automatic beam detection.

104
00:04:58,373 --> 00:05:01,733
When manual selection is active, use beam or floor

105
00:05:01,733 --> 00:05:03,393
and select the intended supports.

106
00:05:03,793 --> 00:05:06,693
A red null association is a prompt to inspect

107
00:05:06,693 --> 00:05:07,533
the host context.

108
00:05:07,853 --> 00:05:10,833
Do not treat an assumed 200 millimeter depth as

109
00:05:10,833 --> 00:05:12,233
an automatically detected beam.

110
00:05:13,993 --> 00:05:16,533
Run save settings and creates reinforcement.

111
00:05:16,533 --> 00:05:20,353
In the first practice model, the selected D8 stirrup

112
00:05:20,353 --> 00:05:22,153
set uses shape MT1.

113
00:05:22,353 --> 00:05:25,613
100 millimeter maximum spacing and a quantity of 7

114
00:05:25,613 --> 00:05:26,633
in the displayed zone.

115
00:05:26,913 --> 00:05:30,233
This quantity describes the selected set, not all ties

116
00:05:30,233 --> 00:05:30,773
in the column.

117
00:05:31,133 --> 00:05:34,333
To inspect the cage, select the host, use selection

118
00:05:34,333 --> 00:05:37,933
box, and enable unobscured in the active three -dimensional

119
00:05:37,933 --> 00:05:38,273
view.

120
00:05:39,967 --> 00:05:41,927
The created cage is visible here.

121
00:05:42,207 --> 00:05:45,827
However, this fixture has a 4 ,000 mm system

122
00:05:45,827 --> 00:05:48,587
length, while its family solid is shorter.

123
00:05:48,827 --> 00:05:50,947
The bars extend above that solid.

124
00:05:51,207 --> 00:05:54,447
This is a model limitation to resolve before using

125
00:05:54,447 --> 00:05:55,767
it as a construction example.

126
00:05:56,027 --> 00:05:59,647
The supplied file is retained for reproducing settings and

127
00:05:59,647 --> 00:06:03,467
inspecting the created bars, not as a validated reinforcement

128
00:06:03,467 --> 00:06:03,947
design.

129
00:06:05,467 --> 00:06:09,087
A separate frame model was tested with additional ties

130
00:06:09,087 --> 00:06:10,367
and foundation starters.

131
00:06:11,227 --> 00:06:14,687
Revit reported an internal error, and its journal identifies

132
00:06:14,687 --> 00:06:17,267
a problem evaluating shape MT1.

133
00:06:17,847 --> 00:06:21,367
Loading the available BIMSpeed content did not resolve this

134
00:06:21,367 --> 00:06:21,647
run.

135
00:06:21,887 --> 00:06:25,047
Do not present that preview as generated reinforcement.

136
00:06:25,047 --> 00:06:28,927
The classic command creates bars, so do not repeatedly

137
00:06:28,927 --> 00:06:32,327
run it over a completed cage, assuming automatic replacement.

138
00:06:32,667 --> 00:06:35,367
Work on a copy and use a deliberate undo

139
00:06:35,367 --> 00:06:37,407
or removal workflow when repeating.
