Hi
I am using Prostructures CONNECT Edition Update 3 - Version 10.03.00.58
I have placed a simple slab using the 2d and dimensional constraints. I then used the Face Based Rebar tools local variables with "Associative Extraction" and "Associative Interaction" and used these lines to place reinforcing.
See video.
Face based Rebar modeling is mostly used with Irregular Rebar Dispatch.for checking your issue with Single rebar distribution please attach your model here. many thanks.

Hi Johannes
Attached is the file that I worked with. To check I used 3 method of Rebar Placement for this. These are:
Maybe there is a better tool for this than the ones I have chosen.
Thanks for your help.
Hi Keith,
Yes, Single rebarset won't work with Face Based Rebar modeling, when changed the variables. We will investigate further on this and may be it is an Enhancement need to report. I will update you further on this.

We believe you placed the rebar by choosing “Create bar by points” and for distribution path also by using “Select path by points”.
If this is true, by picking points on Intersection lines and Asso. Face there will not be any association with the FBRM elements and rebar. So that Single Rebar Distribution will not update with change in size of concrete element.
