Overview

In this wiki, we are going to learn how to locate rebar elements in the model using Manual Bar Mark Manager or Schedule Generator tools.

Steps to be follow

To attach the sketch of respective rebar shapes, you have to create the cell library and create cells in it. After that, you need to attach that cell library to the schedule generator.
Please follow the stepwise procedure to create and use that cel file in the Schedule Generator.

A) Creation of the Cell library which will include the rebar shapes:

1. First, create a cell library in the new dgn file.

  1. Then, in the models tab, create a new 2D model.
  2. In the new model, draw a rebar shape with the help of MicroStation tools.

  1. Now, Select this rebar shape and create a cell of it. (make sure that created cell is attached to the newly created cell library)

    Note: The cell name should be the same as the name of rebar shape in the RSF file.

    5. In this way, create a new 2D model for creation of each new cell and make sure they are under the same cell library.


    B) Attaching and using of rebar shapes in the schedule generator.

    1. Open the ‘Schedule Generator tool in your ongoing project/model and load the required rebars into it.

    2. Now, in the model, make sure that the required cell library  is attached which contains all the rebar cells.

    3. After that, in the schedule generator prepare the schedule place it.

 

  1. To place the sketches of bend shapes, use the option ‘Place Bend Shapes’ which will automatically load all the cells (rebar shapes) from the library



    Note: ( The cell name and rebar shape code should have same name)

 

  1. In this way, you can create a cell library for bend shapes and use it from schedule generator tool to place the bending diagrams.>>>>>
