Adding Rebar to a Column (4:12)

00:06

OK, this is the fun part.

00:08

The objective of this video is to create a view where

00:11

you can add Rebar and a plan, then

00:13

we'll add a cage in perpendicular reinforcing.

00:17

Jump into Revit.

00:18

Let's go to our favorite section footing 13.

00:21

Now the problem here is we kind of have to be in a plan view

00:25

to add this type of Rebar.

00:27

We don't have to be technically, but to see the actual cage

00:30

you're putting in.

00:31

It's good to be in a plan, but the plan

00:33

needs to be cutting through our geometry.

00:36

So what I like to do if you click on the section

00:39

button on your Quick Access toolbar,

00:42

let's make sure our section is a detail.

00:48

Now I'm going to pick a point from here going to here.

00:52

I'm always going in the wrong direction.

00:54

So notice we can flip this detail, so

00:56

click on flip section.

01:00

Hit Escape a couple of times.

01:04

Let's double click on our section, and open it up.

01:09

Let's make sure we pull it down, so we

01:11

can see the entire column.

01:12

And of course, we're going to change our scale to half inches

01:15

to a foot.

01:19

Let's zoom in on it.

01:20

Of course, we're going to select our section marker

01:22

and break it.

01:24

I don't want to see that ugliness, OK.

01:29

Now, select your column.

01:32

Wow, that's funny that icon is exactly what we're going to do.

01:35

So go ahead and select your Rebar button.

01:40

Let's add a shape to it.

01:43

I want to scroll down, down, down, down with the one I like.

01:46

Get in there, get in there.

01:48

Oh, that looks neat.

01:50

Here it is.

01:50

I'm gonna grab shape T1.

01:53

And let's make sure we click on current workplan,

01:55

so we're going to place on current workplan.

02:01

Now let's go in to our column.

02:04

We don't have too many choices, because of the way

02:06

this is configured.

02:07

We're just going to kind of put it here.

02:11

Hit Escape a couple of times.

02:13

Now, if we select our column, see that

02:16

and I think it's three inches inside of it.

02:18

Of course, now if we come down here and other faces,

02:23

column covers what we set, right?

02:27

You can make that a little less.

02:29

Exterior 3 inches or 5 inches, whatever you want to do

02:32

is going to configure that bar, right?

02:35

So now if we select our cage, I notice

02:39

that it's stirrupped high, so now our hook could start

02:43

or end is going to be our stirrup ties, right?

02:47

So I kind of like the way that is.

02:49

Now for our layout instead of single,

02:52

let's go maximum spacing.

02:55

Our spacing will be

02:60

Perfect.

03:02

Hit Escape a couple of times.

03:07

Now let's select our structural count.

03:11

Let's click Rebar.

03:15

Now I'm going to go all the way up to Rebar shaped double at.

03:21

And the placement, I want it to be perpendicular to cover.

03:26

I want to select the layout out rule.

03:30

We'll say fixed number, which will be three.

03:37

I'm going to put one here, and put one here.

03:44

Hit Escape a couple of times.

03:46

Now, if we tab on to this, remember

03:48

we can just kind of drag that in.

03:51

You can drag that in.

03:54

And the same down here, you can drag that in.

04:00

We can drag that in.

04:02

It's a little sloppy.

04:03

Actually, pressured you just copied it.

04:06

There we go.

04:07

That's how we add cage Rebar to a column.
