Column Rebar — Classic — Settings reference

Walkthrough and screenshots · Coverage CSV

Basic cage creation is verified. The instructional family solid is 3048 mm high while its system length is 4000 mm: reinforcement extends above the solid. Do not treat this fixture as a coordinated final detail. Additional closed ties, crossties, separated bars and foundation settings are preview demonstrations. The separate frame generation failed inside Revit; no advanced successful result is claimed. Re-running can duplicate reinforcement.

Control labels match the recorded installation. Settings below describe UI/source behavior; they are not a claim that every combination generated successfully. Refer to the walkthrough for the exact exercised values and evidence.

Control	Units / options	Behavior and interactions
Level list / column graphic	Select one level in stack	Current host dimensions and settings.
Uniform distribution Rebar Settings	Layout radio	Cx/Cy perimeter arrangement.
Rebar Number Cx / Cy	Integer; tested 4 / 3	Counts include corners. Rectangle total=2Cx+2Cy−4. 3/3→8; 4/3→10.
Main Bar Diameter	Loaded type; D20 tested	Diameter of main longitudinal bars. Count is separate.
Use Distribution Bar	Boolean	Enable separate distribution diameter; inspect affected positions.
Distribution Bar Diameter	Loaded type	Used only when distribution bars are enabled.
Total Bar / Reinforcement Area / Ratio	Count; cm²; %	Calculated preview information, not a generation report.
Separated distribution	Layout radio	Separate outer/inner controls and diameter state.
Outer layer Rebar Numbers	Integer	Outer arrangement count; check total and preview.
Inner layer Rebar Numbers	Enable + integer	Adds configured inner arrangement when enabled.
Main Stirrup Diameter	Loaded type; D8 tested	Main perimeter ties; additional tie diameter is elsewhere.
Crosstie	Radio + section bar click	Click highlighted bar position; inspect crossing tie preview.
Closed tie	Radio + two same-side bar picks	Two different bars on same side; identical or different-side picks can error.
Apply for other levels	Copy settings	Requires more than one level; verify each recipient.
Floor Framing type / depth	Detected association / mm	Verify host intersection; null is not confirmed detection.
Top Cover thickness / Other Cover thickness	mm; 25 in fixture	Separate top and remaining covers.
Starter Bar Settings	Boolean	Enables foundation starter arrangement. Runtime advanced case blocked.
Separate 2 segments at Starter Bar	Boolean	Separate starter and upper bar segments.
Stirrup Spacing — Foundation	Enable + mm; 200 example	Foundation ties only when enabled.
Hm / Lb	mm; 1000 / 350 example	Starter geometry dimensions shown in sketch.
Direction arrows / Reverse	Four directions / reverse	Change foundation bar direction.
Spread Stirrup into bottom of Beam / Floor	Radio	Stop distribution at underside.
Spread Stirrup into top of Beam / Floor	Radio	Enable additional distribution through support depth.
Stirrup Spacing / Stirrup Numbers	Radio + mm / count	Alternative support-depth layout when spread-to-top enabled.
Distance to first Stirrup	mm; 50 example	Offset of first tie.
Uniform / Distribution A1,A2,A1 / Distribution A1,A2	Radio	One spacing / end-middle-end / two zones.
A1 / A2	mm; 100 / 200 example	Zone spacing; smaller spacing increases density.
Minimum	Enable + mm; 450	Candidate minimum L1 extent.
Clearance height divide by	Enable + divisor; 5	Candidate clear-height fraction for L1.
Column section height	Boolean	Candidate section dimension; greatest enabled criterion controls L1.
Cover full lap splice zone	Boolean	Extend dense region to lap zone.
Top zone separate, value	Enable + mm	Separate top zone extent.
Get same spacing with main Stirrup	Boolean	Additional ties inherit main spacing; otherwise custom field.
Diameter / Hook Type — additional ties	Loaded types	Applies to internal ties, not main tie diameter.
Custom additional spacing	mm; 150 demonstrated	Enabled when inheritance is off.
Rebar Hook Length: Fixed Length / Diameter	mm / multiplier; 200 / 10 example	Alternative hook length rules.
Add Elevation / Add Partition	Booleans	Write reinforcement information.
Bend Bar if e ≤	mm; 75 example	Section-offset condition.
Ratio Hd/e ≥	Ratio; 6 example	Required bend-rise to offset ratio.
Hooks bending / Starter Bar for continuous	Radio	Top termination versus continuity starter.
Lap Length / Rebar Hook Length — lap group	×D; 35 / 30 example	Separate lap and anchorage multipliers.
Bend Bar at Lapping Zone to avoid conflict	Boolean	Offset geometry at overlap.
Group Bars with same Rebar Number	Boolean	Grouping by assigned bar number.
Distance from column bottom L / Middle of Column	Radio + mm; 100 example	Reference for lap position.
Distance between 2 Laps	×D; 5 example	Separation between staggered splice locations.
Lap at 1 position / Lap at 2 positions	Radio	Single or staggered positions.
Floor Beam Settings / Select Floor Beam manually / Automatically find Beams	Radio + default depth	Default depth, interactive selection, or automatic association.
Beam Or Floor	Pick + Finish	Available in manual association mode.
Run / Close / tabs	Create / exit / navigate	Run saves settings and creates; Close is not a generation step. No automatic replacement should be assumed.
