Features

RGS-REBAR comes with a pre-defined Details Library for different concrete elements like Footings, Columns, Beams, Walls etc. These details can be inserted in any drawing and modified to suit the requirements. This increases the detailing productivity to a great extent.

Detailers can also create their custom library as per their requirements for reuse.

The smartness of this library lies in it’s ability to automatically convert the rebar properities, bar mark formats, CAD standards etc., to suit to the current drawing setup.

Reusable “Smart Details Library”

“REBAR SPREAD” – The Ultimate Auto Detailer

Slabs with complications like varying edges, openings, specific splicing locations, Slab folds with varying slab heights and drop panels etc., can be detailed with in Minutes using this “Auto Detailer”. This also optimizes the rebar lengths to reduce the number of varying bars, based on the cutting capacity of the shear line. This great production tool can be used to detail even Walls, Pile caps, varying beams etc., Where rebar needs to be spread.

You can draw the bar like a P-line and the bend shape will be automatically detected by RGS-REBAR. The detailers need not search for suitable bend shapes while detailing. This feature helps the detailer to work for any detailing code without worrying for the shape codes. For eg., an American detailer can detail a British job with out worrying about British Standards. Of course RGS-REBAR also supports traditional style of picking up a shape and draw it.

AUTOMATIC SPECIAL BEND CREATION

Creating the special bend was never easier. If the shape you have drawn is not found in the database, it is created automatically. It's that easy. All the views, cut lengths etc., are automatically defined. The special bend defined can be copied, mirrored or stretched etc., like any standard bend. The special bend definition can be shared and reused.

RGS-REBAR understands the importance of a quality detailing and hence a continuous research is being made on error proofing. There will be additional features on every release to bring down the detailing error rates.

You can even select few element marks in a particular pour and click a button to prepare a Partial Takeoff. It’s that simple.

Detail a Footing, Beam or Column once and assign an Element Mark to it. Then wherever the Element Mark is placed, copied, deleted, the software counts the number of places automatically.

AUTO COUNTING OF ELEMENT MARK

PARTIAL TAKEOFF

Controlling Bend Shape

Synchronized Bar, View, Callout, Label etc.

Auto Elevation Update The elevation value is placed using this feature. When this object is copied or moved, then the elevation value changes accordingly. This is very useful in places where the elevation values are correctly typed and the actual height when measured may be incorrect.

Auto Elevation Update

RGS-REBAR provides many range options to calculate the Rebar quantity. The user can click any bar and enter the spacing and the start and end of the range with appropriate covers. The quantity is automatically calculated.

DRAW RANGE

..........................Single Range – Normal Single Range - Sloped..........................One Bar -One Pitch (Spacing)

Alternate Bar –Double Pitch (Spacing)

Multiple Bar – Multiple Pitch (Spacing)

One Bar -One Pitch (Spacing)



Auto Counting of Element Mark

Draw Range - Straight

In these days of faster construction practices, the revisions play a very important role. A detailer must be equipped with proper tools to incorporate revisions faster.

INCORPORATE REVISIONS OR CHANGES FASTER

You can match the property of one bar to a selected set of bars. The selected bars will be immediately redrawn automatically to reflect the change. This is a very powerful option that can be used to change bend shapes, Laps, Leg values and many other properties of multiple bars in a single mouse click. Match properties is supported with powerful “Rebar Filters “ to enable quick selection of Rebar.
