Overview

While detailing dense or congested rebar assemblies where the rebars overlap each other, it can get confusing to determine the end or extent of the rebar length. Thus, it is a common practice to display the ends of such over-lapping rebars as ticked (ends protruding outwards).

This document will guide you on how to set up the automatic display of ticks at 2D rebar ends in the drawing model

Method

1) Open the Display.sys file that is located at C:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\*Your WorkSpace*\Standards\ProStructures\Rebar\Detailing\Metric

NOTE – The above mentioned path is the default location and may defer if you have installed the application at another folder path

2) Search for the EDF1 and EDF2 variables and set the value to 1

3) Save and close this file

4) Now start the ProStructures application (restart if the application was open while making the above changes)

5) Place a new callout tool in the 3D model and you will observe that in the drawing model, the 2D rebars are generated with automatic ticks

In this way, one can set up to automatically display the ticked ends for 2D rebars that overlap in the drawing model
