Overview

This document explains some of the important presets needed for annotation in 2D Rebar Detailing

Method

The most commonly used presets are as follows:

# $n - Main bar quantity

# $ns - Nominal main bar spacing.

# $bg - Bar Grade

# $kl - If positioned, $kl is the bar mark (10A161). If not positioned, $kl is total length of bar (11'-2 1/2)

# $klb - Bar mark number for first bar in a varying range e.g. 26a. If not positioned, $kl is total length of that bar

# $kle - Bar mark number for last bar in a varying range e.g., 26g. If not positioned, $kl is total length of that bar

# $ql - Scheduled total bar length

# $qlb - Scheduled total length of first bar in a varying bar range - ~a, ~b etc. can be added for specific bar dimensions

# $set - To get the labels for all the bars in vary Sets.

For Example,

1. If want length for all bars in Vary sets, then use Preset as

$set$ql (if positioned), or

$set$kl (if not positioned)

2. Similarly to get Bar Marks for all the bars in Vary Sets, preset to be $set$kl

Following are some of the examples-

Example:1

$klb~$kle - returns the Bar Mark of First and Last Bar where, $klb stands for First Bar Mark and $kle stands for Last Bar Mark

Example:2

$qlb~$qle - returns the length of First and Last Bar where, $qlb gives length of First Bar and $qle gives length of Last Bar

Example:3

$set$ql - returns length for each bar in set

Example:4

$set$kl - returns bar mark for each bar in set

All the Presets are stored in "preset.sys" which is located in "C:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\<Workspace Name>\Standards\ProStructures\Rebar\Detailing\<Metric/Imperial>"

Which when opened in Notepad you can see all the presets listed there with explanation

This is the overall explanation about Presets available for 2D Rebar detailing.
