Area reinforcement – reducing the placing length

You can modify the placing length in two ways:

• by entering the reduced length manually or
• by clicking a boundary point within the shell outline polygon. The half of the new placing length is calculated between the point clicked and the center line displayed. This value is doubled and the bars are displayed in the resulting placing length.

The normal placing length is understood as the maximum distance between two corners of the placing area parallel to the local X-axis. The reduction of this length always causes a central adjustment in the initial value:
