Extrude bars along path

Module(s): Bar Reinforcement

You can use the Extrude Bars Along Path tool to place bar reinforcement, which you defined in a cross section, along any path. Define the parameters in a palette.
You can only place bars created in Reinforce with 3D model mode. In addition, these bars must be in a drawing file.

To place bar reinforcement along a path

• You have created an associative section from 3D solids or architectural components.
  Hide the visible edges so that you can only see the edges in the clipping plane.
• You have created the bending shapes of transverse reinforcement and defined longitudinal reinforcement using the Straight bar bending shape and the Straight bar as a point option in this associative section.
• You have created the reinforcement in Reinforce with 3D model mode, but you have not placed the reinforcement yet.
• You have created a polygonal path of 3D elements if you want to place the reinforcement across several 3D solids or architectural components.
