hello i have 3 columns that are attached at top with a sloped slab , when i do what you just did it , all rebar are showing way above the slab , even though dowles are turned off !! what am i doing wrong?
if you can send me a revit file or picture, I can get a better understanding. I created 3 concrete columns attached at the tops with a sloped structural slab foundation. I then used the extension command on each one using different settings. Depending on the settings you choose, the rebar will go thru the slab or not. The settings I chose to ensure the rebar does not go into the slab are as follows: 1. Geometry Section (left as defaults) 2. Bars Section (No Hooks for top/bottom and the rest as defaults) 3. Stirrups Section (left as defaults) 4. Dowels Section (unchecked Dowels) 5. Reinforcement Areas Section (left as default) 6. Clicked OK and results show rebar created and initially going into the slab 7. Select rebar afterwards to push/pull to make it not touch the slab If you need a video, I can make one....
After several attempts and scenarios, this is what is going on: - The extension tool creates the rebars in the column as you specify them in the dialog boxes. - If the concrete column is freestanding and there is no slab anywhere near it to intersect or attach to (top/bottom), then the rebar is created FULLY CONTAINED in the concrete column - if the concrete column is near or attached to a structural member (slab, beam, foundation, etc.), the extension will automatically create the rebar such that is goes into the adjacent structural system family (slab, beam, foundation, etc.). - if you create all the columns and rebar without the floor slab present, the beams will be initially created inside the columns - if you introduce the floor slab afterwards, the extension program will automatically adjust the rebars to go into the floor slab. - even after checking "do not dynamically update model" in the extension window, the rebar will still automatically adjust and add the additional length - you will have no choice but to move the ends of the rebar down to be fully contained in the concrete column after they are created - easiest way is to go to an elevation view, create a horizontal reference plane and use Multiple Align command to align all the ends quickly
when you start the Rebar command, in the Properties Palette, use the Type Selector to choose the Rebar Type # you want....it has all the Instance Parameters for you to change....
how can i get this plugin for RFT and thank You
This was an extention for that specific version. You typically get it via Autodesk Desktop App. I am not sure if it's still available
@@DzanTa ok thank You

i have sent it to you ..

- if the concrete column is near or attached to a structural member (slab, beam, foundation, etc.), the extension will automatically create the rebar such that is goes into the adjacent structural system family (slab, beam, foundation, etc.).
- if you create all the columns and rebar without the floor slab present, the beams will be initially created inside the columns
- if you introduce the floor slab afterwards, the extension program will automatically adjust the rebars to go into the floor slab.
- even after checking "do not dynamically update model" in the extension window, the rebar will still automatically adjust and add the additional length
- you will have no choice but to move the ends of the rebar down to be fully contained in the concrete column after they are created

How can I change size of rebar...??
Mohammad Saad
Just select the rebar size in the type selector in the properties panel
when you start the Rebar command, in the Properties Palette, use the Type Selector to choose the Rebar Type # you want....it has all the Instance Parameters for you to change....
Thank you
name of the extension please?
It's just called Revit Extensions. At the time this came out, you could download it using the Autodesk Desktop App
@@DzanTa ok, Thanks for the prompt response
@@DzanTa do you know whether they have such an extension for Revit 2022?
