Walkthrough
Beam Rebar Classic — Quick Setting and detail editor
Classic is the earlier beam-reinforcement variant, separate from Beam Rebar and Axis. It requires a 3D view, a valid beam run and the corresponding entitlement. Edit new-tool reinforcement with its own tool or select different hosts for Classic.
Align beams to slabs — Beam To Slab
The tool adjusts beam endpoint elevations against selected slab faces. It does not create slabs from beams. Open it, select the intended beams and target slabs, choose the reference face and Detail mode, then OK.
Column Rebar v2.0 — Settings reference
Existing walkthrough and UI captures. This reference is specific to Column Rebar v2.0; installed labels can vary. Bars were saved and reopened on an educational column, but one tie set was outside its host. Read the walkthrough result before reusing that configuration. Preview graphics and calculated summaries do not replace actual Rebar Quantity, diameter and host checks.
Curved Beam Rebar
Select one beam with an Arc axis, open Curved Beam Rebar, choose top/bottom reinforcement and stirrups, check cover/hooks, then OK. These captures use an instructional Arc beam added to the school-model copy.
Beam rebar cutting — BeamCut
Select all beams belonging to continuous reinforcement, then open Cut Beam Rebar. The tool reads blanks, matches stock and creates cutting plans; planning is separate from applying rebar splices in the model.
Lintel Rebar
Open Lintel Rebar and click its illustration to choose four bars, two vertical bars, two horizontal bars or a canopy. Fields change with the selected variant. After configuration, OK proceeds to the command's geometry/generation stage.
Beam Rebar Setting — field reference
This shared window stores current Beam Rebar rules for anchorage, cover, additional steel, section positions and shop splitting. It is separate from the span editor and Classic settings. Open BimSpeed.STR → Beam → Beam Rebar Setting, choose one of the four visible groups on the left and scroll inside that group.
Rebar Shape Images — Schedule Graphics — Settings reference
Walkthrough
Align Floor To Beam — align floor boundaries to beam faces
Open BimSpeed.STR → Common → Align Floor To Beam. This edits a floor boundary against beam faces. It differs from Beam To Slab, which changes beam elevations relative to a slab.
Create Analytical 1 and 2 — create the analytical model
Open BimSpeed.STR → Design → Create Analytical 1/2. These are separate workflows. Prepare suitable columns, beams, slabs/foundations and save an RVT copy before generation.
Optimize and Check Analytical — align geometry and inspect overlaps
Open these commands under BimSpeed.STR → Design after creating Analytical Members/Panels. Save a copy before optimization and compare connections and contours before/after, as well as element counts.
Faces / Lines / Points to Floor — create analytical panels
The three commands in BimSpeed.STR → Design create Analytical Panels. Floor in the command name does not mean a physical concrete floor. Each window contains Floor / Panel / Wall, Ok and Close.
Create Tag Beam — tag family, orientation and offset
Open BimSpeed.STR → Common → Create Tag Beam in a view that supports Structural Framing Tags. Load a compatible tag family/type. Creating tags does not assign unique beam Marks.
Bubble Slab Rebar — create and inspect native steel
Open Bubble Slab Rebar with one eligible structural concrete Floor. This writer creates straight top/bottom mats; hooks and lap splices are not generated.
Bubble Slab Review — geometry and scope
Select one existing Floor, then open Bubble Slab Review in the BimSpeed.STR slab group or the standalone module Review button. Ribbon visibility depends on edition/module; package registration does not prove every edition shows the button. Review and Rebar share a shell with different starting tabs.
Column Drawing
Open BimSpeed.STR → Column → Column Drawing after checking hosts and reinforcement. Select columns, then create longitudinal views, cross-sections and a sheet. This is separate from the Multi-Column Create Drawing button.
Complementary Pillar Rebar
Complementary Pillar Rebar — Host selection, settings and native Rebar inspection
Coordinates — align analytical nodes
BimSpeed.STR → Design → Coordinates operates on Analytical Nodes (ReferencePoint) and their analytical members. It aligns analytical node coordinates; it does not set project Shared Coordinates.
Floor Load / Wall Load — calculate loads and save settings
The Floor Load / Wall Load commands in BimSpeed.STR → Design open floor and wall calculators. This guide covers 2026.10.23.2046 / Revit 2024. They calculate load tables and save build-ups; assigning loads to analytical elements is a separate step.
Drop Panel Rebar — hosts, mats and links
Open Drop Panel Rebar for existing thicker native drop Floors and a reference main slab. This differs from positive geometry in Mushroom Slab Review and straight mats on the original Floor in Mushroom Slab Rebar. DirectShape drops/capitals are not native Floor hosts.
Excavation, backfill and new fill
The steps and conditions below follow the current implementation. Runtime evidence is identified separately; availability of every command on the installed ribbon has not been verified.
Formwork — settings and scope limits
Walkthrough · Update Area
Foundation Drawing 2.0
Open BimSpeed.STR → Foundation → Foundation Drawing 2.0 from a plan. The tool lists foundations and manages presets and callout/section/sheet configuration. Distinguish the current row from checked foundations before execution.
Foundation Drawing
Open BimSpeed.STR → Foundation → Foundation Drawing from a ViewPlan and select the footing when prompted. This classic variant has a different configuration flow from Foundation Drawing 2.0.
Frame Rebar
Frame Rebar — Host selection, settings and native Rebar inspection
Isolated Footing 2.0
The BimSpeed.STR → Foundation → Isolated Footing 2.0 ribbon label opens a multi-layer foundation/slab reinforcement editor. The selection filter accepts Structural Floors with Structural=1 and Structural Foundation elements. It is separate from classic Isolated Footing.
Lean Concrete — host scope, type and edge extension
Open BimSpeed.STR → Model → Create Lining Concrete. The tool derives blinding geometry from floors, foundations or beams. It does not convert an ordinary Floor Type into a Foundation Slab Type. Start with one actual host in a project copy.
Beam System — generate roof framing from selected faces
Open BimSpeed.STR → Model → Beam System. Prepare roof faces and Structural Framing families with readable section-height parameters. A framing system differs from an individual beam or reinforcement design.
Create Column — place columns at grid intersections
Open BimSpeed.STR → Model → Create Column in a plan with an associated Level. This places column families on grids; it does not create reinforcement. Work on a copy and load a column family with Width/b and Depth/h dimension parameters.
Create Foundation — pile caps, layouts and eccentric placement
Open BimSpeed.STR → Model → Create Foundation. This models piles/caps/blinding; it is not Isolated Footing Rebar. Prepare pile families, a Foundation Slab Type and a Level, then test one location in a project copy.
Multi-Column Rebar 2.0
Use BimSpeed.STR → Column → Multi-Column Rebar 2.0 for multiple rectangular columns. The tool organizes column stacks by location, allows story editing and copies settings. It is a separate command from classic Column Rebar and Column Rebar v2.0.
Multi-Round Column Rebar 2.0
Open BimSpeed.STR → Column → Multi-Round Column Rebar 2.0 for circular column hosts. Qty is the total longitudinal bar count around the perimeter, unlike rectangular n(b)/n(h).
Mushroom Slab Rebar — create and inspect native steel
Open Mushroom Slab Rebar with one eligible structural concrete Floor. This writer creates straight top/bottom mats and additional zones; it does not reinforce DirectShape drops/capitals.
Mushroom Slab Review — geometry and scope
Select one existing Floor, then open Mushroom Slab Review in the BimSpeed.STR slab group or the standalone module Review button. Ribbon visibility depends on edition/module; package registration does not prove every edition shows the button. Review and Rebar share a shell with different starting tabs.
Dim Pile and Pile Coordinate — dimensions and coordinate parameters
Open both commands under BimSpeed.STR → Common. Dim Pile creates plan annotations; Pile Coordinate writes instance parameters. Running one does not establish completion of the other.
Foundation, column and beam plan dimensions — scope and offsets
Run Foundation Plan Dim, ColumnPlan Dim or Beam Plan Dim under BimSpeed.STR → Common in a suitable Floor/Structural Plan. These are separate commands. Provide a Linear Dimension Type and usable element/grid references in the view.
Update Area and zone splitting
The steps and conditions below follow the current implementation. Runtime evidence is identified separately; availability of every command on the installed ribbon has not been verified.
Category Schedule and QS Rebar Schedule
The steps and conditions below follow the current implementation. Runtime evidence is identified separately; availability of every command on the installed ribbon has not been verified.
Quick Modeling — families, types and element placement
Open BimSpeed.STR → Model → Quick Modeling. Its tabs prepare/select types and start Revit placement. Not every Create button generates a complete structure. Use actual project families and work on a copy before changing used types.
Retaining Wall
Retaining Wall — Host selection, settings and native Rebar inspection
Revit to ETABS — connection, units and materials
Open BimSpeed.STR → Design → Revit To Etabs after preparing the analytical model. The exporter reads analytical members and panels; concrete geometry alone is insufficient. Check members, panels, stories and materials first.
Section Manager — create section types rather than section views
Open BimSpeed.STR → Model → Create Section. Tabs are Beam, Column, Foundation, Slab and Wall. Here a section means an element type, not a Section View from an Elevation. Creating a type does not place instances.
Shear Wall Multi Segments
Shear Wall Multi Segments — Host selection, settings and native Rebar inspection
Shear Wall
Shear Wall — Host selection, settings and native Rebar inspection
Single Shear Wall 2.0
Single Shear Wall 2.0 — Host selection, settings and native Rebar inspection
Single Shear Wall
Single Shear Wall — Host selection, settings and native Rebar inspection
Slab Rebar Classic — bar kinds and point-based layout
The Slab Rebar Classic entry is BimSpeedRebarSlabClassic.Commands.RebarTools.SlabRebarCmd. Its editor and workflow differ from Slab Rebar 2.0. The entry initializes Classic context, checks authorization and ensures content before opening the editor.
Slab Rebar Plans — plans, tags and sheets
Open Slab Rebar Plans after creating recognized Slab Rebar 2.0 reinforcement. Select the Floor hosts and Finish. Each populated level/layer yields a plan; floor, plan and sheet counts differ.
Slab Rebar Tag — annotate the current plan
Open a Floor/Structural Plan, select Floor hosts or Rebar, then run Slab Rebar Tag. Without preselection, pick multiple floors/bars and Finish. This command has no Plans-style settings window; selection and the active view define scope.
Special slabs — shared window and steel settings
Applies to Mushroom, U-Boot and Bubble. Drop Panel has a separate reference. These modules use English labels. Example values exercise software geometry and are not approved design settings.
Split beams, split columns/walls and connect beams
The three BimSpeed.STR → Utilities commands have different effects. Save a copy: Connect deletes the beams merged into the retained beam, while splitting walls creates replacement walls. Check reinforcement, hosted elements, joins and annotations when IDs change.
Stair Rebar 2.0
Stair Rebar 2.0 — Host selection, settings and native Rebar inspection
Stair Rebar
Stair Rebar — Host selection, settings and native Rebar inspection
Strip Footing Drawing
Use BimSpeed.STR → Foundation → Strip Footing Drawing after checking strip reinforcement. Select one host and configure longitudinal views, cross-sections and sheet placement.
Strip Footing
Open BimSpeed.STR → Foundation → Strip Footing and select a compatible strip-footing family. The command can ask for two points limiting the processed segment; distinct points define its directed extent.
U-Boot Slab Rebar — create and inspect native steel
Open U-Boot Slab Rebar with one eligible structural concrete Floor. This writer creates straight top/bottom mats and U-Boot longitudinal rib bars; it does not automatically create shear stirrups.
U-Boot Slab Review — geometry and scope
Select one existing Floor, then open U-Boot Slab Review in the BimSpeed.STR slab group or the standalone module Review button. Ribbon visibility depends on edition/module; package registration does not prove every edition shows the button. Review and Rebar share a shell with different starting tabs.
Update Column Drawing
Use BimSpeed.STR → Column → Update Column Drawing from a drawing view. The active view determines update scope; arbitrary 3D or plan views are not accepted.
Update Foundation Drawing
Use BimSpeed.STR → Foundation → Update Foundation Drawing to update annotations and settings in generated foundation callouts/sections. Edit the 3D reinforcement separately. Save a copy before updating views that contain manual edits.
Update Strip Footing Drawing
Open BimSpeed.STR → Foundation → Update Strip Footing Drawing from a Section/Detail view or sheet. The current view determines host discovery and update scope.
