2. If you work in Reinforce with 3D model mode, you need to select an existing view to which you want to add secondary reinforcement.

   Note: If there are no views, you cannot create secondary reinforcement.

3. Define the location of the placement in space so as to establish the relationship (distance) between the defined spatial plane and the placement (with Reinforce with 3D model only).
4. Click OK to confirm the settings.
5. Go to the input options and select the type for defining secondary reinforcing bars. Three options are provided:
   • Match Bar to match the diameter, number, length and spacing of an existing placement.
   • Edge to use the length and direction of a edge for the generation of the bars. The edge length is proposed as the length.
   • From-to to define custom secondary bars by setting a start and end point.
6. Define the location of the secondary reinforcing bars and the placing direction.
7. Enter settings for the general placing parameters.
8. Click OK to confirm the settings.
