    Important Presets explained for 2D Rebar Labeling

      Product(s): ProConcrete
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition (10.xx.00.xx)
      Environment: N/A
      Area: 2D Rebar
      Subarea: Annotation
      Original Author: Sandip Kar, Bentley Product Advantage Group

    Overview

    This document explains some of the important presets needed for annotation in 2D Rebar Detailing

    Method

    The most commonly used presets are as follows:

    #   $n   -  Main bar quantity

    #   $ns  - Nominal main bar spacing.

    #   $bg  - Bar Grade

    #   $kl   - If positioned, $kl is the bar mark (10A161). If not positioned, $kl is total length of bar (11'-2 1/2)

    #   $klb - Bar mark number for first bar in a varying range e.g. 26a. If not positioned, $kl is total length of that bar       

    #   $kle - Bar mark number for last bar in a varying range e.g., 26g. If not positioned, $kl is total length of that bar        

    #   $ql  - Scheduled total bar length

    #   $qlb - Scheduled total length of first bar in a varying bar range - ~a, ~b etc. can be added for specific bar dimensions

    #   $set - To get the labels for all the bars in vary Sets.

    For Example,

    1. I
    f  want length for all bars in Vary sets, then use Preset as

         $set$ql
    (if positioned), or

         $set$kl 
    (if not positioned)

    2. Similarly to get Bar Marks for all the bars in Vary Sets, preset to be   $set$kl

    Following are some of the examples-

    Example:1

    $klb~$kle -
    returns the Bar Mark of First and Last Bar where, $klb stands for First Bar Mark and $kle stands for Last Bar Mark



    Example:2

    $qlb~$qle - returns the length of First and Last Bar where, $qlb gives length of First Bar and $qle gives length of Last Bar


    Example:3

    $set$ql - returns length for each bar in set


    Example:4

    $set$kl -
    returns bar mark for each bar in set


       

    All the Presets are stored in "preset.sys" which is located in "C:\ProgramData\Bentley\ProStructures CONNECT Edition\Configuration\WorkSpaces\<Workspace Name>\Standards\ProStructures\Rebar\Detailing\<Metric/Imperial>"

    Which when opened in Notepad you can see all the presets listed there with explanation


      

    This is the overall explanation about Presets available for 2D Rebar detailing.
