![]() The beam is a host element for a cage that supports top mat of reinforcement. See the picture below that shows a beam inside of a 2m deep raft foundation. However, for me this approach works perfectly – one thing to remember is to play with filters, worksets or possibly phases (in order to control visibility, material take offs and schedules of structural elements). Some more advanced users will say it’s not a correct way of doing things as a structural model should resemble real building as much as possible, and should be pure with no artificial elements. To overcome these problems with constrains I use quite dubious approach – I model “fake” elements just for rebar hosting. Especially it’s an issue in a relatively complex reinforced concrete elements such as raft foundations and other mass concrete elements. ![]() You can lose the control of these parameters or rebar shapes might “constraint themselves” to undesirable faces of undesirable elements, so that changing them manually becomes a nightmare. “Fake” auxiliary structural elements for rebar hosting Sometimes rebar constraints that I mentioned before might be a real headache. ![]()
