Hi, I'm working on a mild reinforced slab and it seems to be working fine, however im getting a warning that says some of my rebar is out of seciton. I already checked and the user defined rebar is within the trimmed section, i looked at the Cross Sections perspectives and seem to be fine. The slab I'm working on has some steps, but like i said before, the rebar is within the trimmed sections, so not sure what the problem is.
Thanks

Most of the warnings (32-2, 33-2-34-2, 35-2, 37-4, 38-1, and 42-1) are associated with inter cross section trimming near the slab step. A portion near the bottom of the slab soffit is trimmed at the step and after that trimming bottom reinforcement in the lower slab that extends through the step is no longer in the cross section. I would ignore these warnings. The bottom reinforcement in the upper slab intersects the section near the bottom of these sections.
The other warnings (18-1, 19-1, 19-2, 36-1, 49-1) are associated with cross sections at a step that include slab of different thickness and are trimmed with either Slab Rectangle or Max Rectangle so that most of the step is trimmed from the section. In these areas, you may want to consider using different trimming option (like "None") or using a manual boundary to widen the strip. For example, if the column strip of 19-1 were widened to include the entire 20" thick transition zone at the step, you would avoid the warning.
More on the cross section trimming option and the inter cross section slope limit can be found here.
