REINFORCEMENT

Automatic reinforcement

� The window automatic reinforcement is updated according to the changes of thewindow position in the model.

� Stair reinforcement styles work correctly.

Bending detail improvements

� The bending detail displays the unfolded hook length.

� The <TotalQuantity> in the bending detail annotation counts all instances of the barmark.

Bar splicing

� A problem causing a crash when splicing bars when the lengths were calculatedfrom the shape has been fixed.

3D viewer

� Snap points can be used for the 3D viewer entities

� The 3D viewer does not require additional views when creating the reinforcementcage for a column with circular section.

Bar lists

� The bar schedules display the length of point bars with cut distribution.

� The <TotalQuantity> and <ElementQuantity> are correctly calculated in the barschedules.

� The sub-entities list displays the number of bars in two orthogonal countabledistributions.

� The <PlaceHolder> variable can be taken into account in bar lists.

� Speed improvement on displaying sub-entities in lists

Bent mesh distribution

� Corrected an instability problem occurring at bent mesh distribution creation.

Reinforcement symbols
