Hello,
I have a bend bar. It is a pretty simple bar 5 legs. I have two sets of this bar nearly identical accept for some of the leg dimensions. I did create a shape for this bar and named it 16B a modified shape 16. How do I get the other set of bars on the other side of the concrete model to use this same shape. The only difference is the B,C,D as well as K and H dimensions. I currently see *** for the shape and do not seem to be able to assign it to the shape I want.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for posting this query over the Bentley Community Forum.
Would you mind if you could share your working file for further investigation? You may also log a Service Request for this issue.
To check the properties of your custom rebar shapes, you may follow this Wiki page link for more information:

OK thanks for the key-in command to manage shape definitions. That could be helpful. I was able to get my 16B shape to work for my two different bar locations. Basically I checked my actual bars and on one end the angle between A and B was not exactly 90 and it should have been. Once I corrected the Rebar in the model to have the A-B angle 90 and deleted all my bar marks and repositioned it picked up the 16B shape on it own for both sets of bars. The dimensions in the Schedule generator were not working, I will need to look into that. Also should have posted this to the ProConcrete forum my mistake.
