Editing Rebar Segments
You can edit the segments of any existing rebar in ProtaDetails.
- Segment lengths can be changed. You can choose to shorten the segment by concrete cover amount or you can explicitly specify a value
- New segments can be added using existing boundaries.
To edit a rebar:
- Select the rebar and choose Right Click > Edit. "Insert Rebar" dialog will open in upper-left corner.
- You can add or remove the existing segments by using BACK and FORWARD buttons.
- New segments can be added by selecting boundary edges and picking rebar segment side.
- Click on the BACK button 3 times to delete last 3 segments. You can also use CTRL+Z shortcut.
- To draw the segments back, you can use FORWARD button or CTRL+Y shortcut.
- To add new different segments, set the length parameters on "Insert Rebar" dialog.
- Pick a different boundary edge and then pick the side where the rebar segment will be placed.
- First and last segment lengths can be automatically calculated in accordance with the selected code of practice. Alternatively, you can explicitly set the segment lengths.
- You can draw the first and last segments shorter by an amount of concrete cover.
- Other segment lengths are automatically calculated using the boundary geometry and the scale factor specified by the user.
- Click OK or hit ENTER to finish the operation. The rebar object (which is already previewed during the whole operation) will now be drawn automatically.
- To cancel the operation click CANCEL button or just hit ESC.
- Further editing on the rebar object can be done using the Rebar Properties window or using the Dynamic Rebar Grips shown on the rebar itself.
