Placing in custom polygon

Tool(s): Place

This method is only possible for bars that have been created in Reinforce with 3D model mode, as the position of the bars in space needs to be known in order for the placement to be created. Requirements: two bars placed freely at the start and end of the placement. The bars must have the same diameter and similar geometric shapes. Furthermore, the marks must be two different ones that have not been placed elsewhere.

To place bars polygonally in components that can be modified linearly in 3D space

1. Click Place (How).
   

   Activate Place in one of the following ways

   • Menu bar: Create Engineering Bar Reinforcement

   • Palette: Tools Create area in the following module(s):

   Bar reinforcement

   • Configuration: Engineering Bar Entry and Placement flyout
2. Select the mark to be placed by clicking one of the freely placed bars. Alternatively, enter its mark number in the dialog line.
3. Set the placing mode to Custom Place in Custom Polygon and click OK to confirm.
4. Select the second bar for the placement by clicking the second freely placed bar. Alternatively, enter its mark number in the dialog line.
5. Select the number of bars to be placed.
6. Click OK to confirm the settings. The reinforcement is created, whereby the two initial bars are deleted and a new mark number is assigned for the created bars.
7. Use Dimension Line, Label to create the dimensioning and labeling later for the placement.
