3. Set the parameters (analogous to creation method) and click OK to confirm.
   

To modify the bending shape definition of several bent-up meshes placed

1. On the Modify / Label Reinforcement Context toolbar, click Modify Bent-up Meshes.
2. Select the placements you want to modify using the Brackets or enclose several placements in a selection rectangle.
3. When the bending shapes ad/or mark numbers of the selected placements differ, you can apply the new bending shape definition to all bent-up meshes placed or you can first click a bent-up mesh in order to filter based on bending type or mark number.
4. Click the bent-up mesh of which you want to use the bending shape definition.
5. Adjust the bending shape definition and click OK to confirm.
   

   Select a stirrup shape in the Bending Shape Definition box. As well as the display of the stirrup shape, you can specify stirrup dimensions.
   

   Select the check box if you want to provide Hooks on the stirrup ends. As well as the display of the hook, you can specify the angle and hook length.
   

   You can select the check boxes in the Rotate area to flip the stirrup shape by +90 degrees or -90 degrees.
   

   By selecting the Top, Bottom, Left and/or Right check boxes you can create longitudinal reinforcement in addition. Click the relevant buttons beside the check boxes to specify the number of bars, their diameter, and the concrete cover at the start and end of the placement.
   When you have specified one bar per segment only, this bar can be placed centrally or at any distance from the corner. The reference point for the offset is on the left for the Top and Bottom settings and at the bottom for the Left and Right settings.
   

   Set the Minimum offset to edge of the longitudinal reinforcement in the unit set for the length.
