Rebar Detailing and Estimation Schedule with AutoCAD Revit

Working with reinforcements in Revit Structure involves two phases. The initial phase is the building analysis, which may result in design changes.

In the second phase, reinforcements are added, analysed, and detailed. Both phases may include multiple iterations. Many of the tasks required can be automated. This is where the application can save a lot of time, effort, and eliminate sources for errors.

The central hub is the Revit Structure 3-D object model, which integrates the physical and analytical models used respectively for the building design and analysis.

Rebar Detailing:

• Generate rebar
• Extract rebar information
• Generate a section view
• Generate a drafting view
• Import and export dwg
• Add text, dimensioning & annotations

The 3D Rebar Model is integrated in this database. The physical model is used to generate concrete drawings including rebar specific details. The rebar model can be used to generate rebar specific details and quantity takeoffs.

The analytical model is used to connect to third party analysis and design packages, which in turn can help define the rebar model.

Revit Structure has a 3D Rebar model composed of:

• Single bar
• Set of bars with rules
• Area reinforcement for slabs and walls
• Path reinforcement for slabs

Advantages of 3D rebar model:

• Quantities
• Complex layout
• Automatic reinforcement drawings
• Basic scheduling

Scheduling is specific to each country. This provides an opportunity for third party developers to use the 3D rebar model to generate DWG schedules adapted to country and standards specific needs and import them back as a drafting view in Revit Structure.
