Revit is creating rebar in every transaction

[Japhy]

Hi Christopher,

Keith makes some good points here.

3d reinforcement components

With a powerful tool like grasshopper, any form of rebar can be genertetd easily and quickly inside rhino And with app like T-REX it will be more faster and easyer For each definition you have to ensure the correct bar diameter, bar bend lengths, etc… That’s A LOT of work. In truth, most the people involved in 3D modelling rebar don’t understand rebar detailing well enough to do this correctly. Most the 3D modelling is insanely slow. There’s a popular video of something modelling the rebar …

In general I think having key components for the various disciplines is a great idea.

As you can see from this example & tutorial, even a simple Reinforcement script wouldn’t be very generalized.
