New! Divide Rebar

Divides straight reinforcement based on defined criteria, such as maximum length or a specific number of splits, overlapping (lapping) or non-overlapping bars.

The feature is modeless (floating dialog) and it can be easily used within any view. Simply choose a rebar set or a single straight rebar element and divide it according to the configurations set within the feature.

The main features are:

• You can divide rebar elements (rebar sets and single rebar) according to the number of splits. Define the number of splits/segments and the feature will divide the reinforcement into the exact number of segments with all the same length.
• Eather, you can divide rebars according to max length (stock length). Define the Maximum Length and the feature will divide the reinforcement to accomplish max length.
• You can pick the starting point/end of the rebar to indicate where to start the dividing process.
• You can define how to treat reinforcement segments after the divide, no connection between divided segments, divide with overlap, divide with overlap and stagger.
• To divide the rebar with overlap, you should define the overlap factor, which is multiplied by the bar diameter for the final calculation of overlap length.
• To avoid having all overlaps in a specific location, you can enable the "stagger" option. Overlaps will be spread out based on the specified Stagger Offset (A) value.
• You can either preselect reinforcement to divide or activate the picking mode and divide the rebar directly.

Divide the rebar set into equal-length segments (defined by Number of Segments). After the divide, segments overlap according to the defined lap length (Overlap):

Divide the rebar set based on Maximum Length. Following the division, rebar elements will overlap according to the specified Overlap/lap length, with a staggered lap (defined by Stagger offset):

Note! When dividing a rebar, the original rebar is replaced with the copy. All properties from the original bar are kept in newly created bars.
