Hi,
I am in the process of testing Bentley software when performing reinforcement of solids prepared in OBM. Since the drawings I will prepare are to be sent for construction in Poland, I have to stick to our standards. The main problem I encountered is the inability to extend the bar shape beyond the solid in 2d drawing (I want this bar shape to be connected to its parent). Could any of our colleagues from Europe (because I heard that, for example, in the USA there is no such need) could throw some idea how to do it easily and pleasantly?
Of course, I'm not talking about a ready-made solution here, but maybe more about a hint where to start ;)
Picture of what I'm talking about.
Thank you in advance for your help.
You can extend the bar end conditions to go outside of the concrete, no problem. In case of doubt please file a Servicerequest against ProConcrete.

ProConcrete is the ONLY rebar modeling system that works with BOTH. A definitive resource for preparing provisions in project specifications.
OK, I understand, but I have a problem with sticking to Polish standards for preparing reinforcement drawings. We draw the shape of the bar next to the solid that we will reinforce, so that at the construction site they know where to place individual bars in the formwork. Unfortunately, in ProConcreate I did not find such an option when preparing 2D drawings. However, I know that in Germany and Sweden they also follow this rule for drawings. So my question is how did they do it.
Sorry, but that's not what I meant. I meant pulling out the entire bar shape outside the solid outline in the 2D drawing. We have such a standard when preparing drawings and I am looking for a solution to this problem in ProConcreate.
Hi Wiktor,We can recommend the use of the Placing Bar Shapes by Place Bend Shapes tool in the Schedule Generator.For more information, please follow this link. (Start at 11:28)
