Reinforced Concrete Detailing and Scheduling
Features and Benefits
- Drafting Flexibility
Quickly create accurate 2D reinforcement layouts of any concrete arrangement.
- Dynamic Bar Labeling
Bar labeling is automatically maintained by the software, virtually eliminating the need to enter
text manually.
- Automatic Scheduling and Charting
Rebar instantly updates bar charts with accurate quantities and bar mass summaries as you
lay out or change concrete arrangements.
- Dynamic Dimensioning
Instead of tweaking the graphics, you can use dynamic dimensioning to automatically drive the size and shape of concrete details.
- User-Definable Bar Codes
Rebar draws reinforcement according to your preferred design code; the software supports all major international codes.
- Bar Shape Library

The software intelligently scans its Bar Shape Library of more than 1,000 shapes to find a matching shape as each reinforcing bar is detailed.
- 3D Modeling
Design in 2D and Rebar automatically creates and maintains 3D models
of reinforcement. You can use these to investigate conflicts. Rendered views, fly-throughs, and panoramas are created with MicroStation’s visualization tools.
- Powerful Bar Editing
Manage the detailing and scheduling process with a suite of specialized reinforcement editing routines.
- Parametric Detailing
Choose from a broad set of parametric prompts and equations that enable you to control individual concrete details for intelligent layout, dimensioning, and resizing.
- Rebar Object Library
User-definable objects make it easy to create new objects for automating the detailing of concrete elements, from stairways and columns to retaining walls and footings.
