Overview

The GCOL variable in the Display.sys file allows to set up the color and line weight of the tag text that comes up with ticked ends for overlapping 2D rebars while detailing concrete and rebar models in ProStructures

Method

1) Open the Display.sys file that is located at 

2) Search for the GCOL variable and set the value to 1, 3 (value 1 = Color – Red)

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 the text with the tags of the overlapping 2D rebars are created in accordance with the new parameters set in the GCOL variable 

In this way, by setting up the value of the GCOL variable in the Display.sys file, one can control the display settings of the tag text of the 2D rebar ends in the drawing model
