Using the Reinforcement Panel in Revit

by Pierre Derenoncourt

In this set of tutorials we'll use the reinforcement tools in Revit Structure to create a rebar model and cost schedule. Software required: Revit 2015.

What you'll learn

In this set of tutorials we'll use the reinforcement tools in Revit Structure to create a rebar model and cost schedule. We'll begin from the ground up and start modeling the reinforcement for the footings. We'll learn about placing rebar into hosted structural elements, as well as working with various rebar properties like type, deformation, length, shape, and also visibility. Once we become comfortable with these basic concepts, we'll then learn how to use the various other reinforcement tools like path, cover settings, area, and fabric area. Once our model is in place we'll then generate a rebar schedule that displays type, length, assemblies, and even cost. By end of this training you'll know how to model rebar for concrete structures, gain an understanding of the various ways to apply reinforcement, and also generate a material cost estimation report for your design. Software required: Revit 2015.
