CADS Rebar Extensions for Autodesk® Revit® - 2019

Introduction

If you are looking to save time and streamline the process of generating reinforcement in Autodesk® Revit®, then CADS Rebar Extensions for Revit is the solution you need. This plugin offers a free unlimited trial of Extension Tools that cater to a variety of standard concrete structures, making reinforcement tasks more efficient and precise.

Features and Functionality

CADS Rebar Extensions for Revit allows users to easily select the structural concrete elements they want to reinforce and launch the appropriate tool or choose the automatic generation tool. Users can specify the parameters for reinforcing the structure, making it highly customizable and adaptable to different project requirements.

The plugin supports a wide range of concrete elements, including beams, columns, continuous footings, parapets, pile caps, concrete piles, retaining walls, slab corners, slab openings, spread footings, wall corners, and walls. This extensive coverage ensures that users can efficiently reinforce various types of concrete structures within Revit.

Partnership with CADS

The Rebar Extensions were originally developed by Autodesk, but due to their close partnership with CADS, the responsibility for developing and maintaining the extensions has been passed to CADS. This collaboration ensures that the extensions are fully integrated with CADS RC3D for Revit, which enhances the placement, annotation, and bar marking of reinforcing steel in all types of RC structures.

CADS RC3D takes the 3D modeling functionality of Revit to the next level by allowing rebar to be divided into particle groups (bar ranges) and bar marks to be created and managed effectively. Detailed reinforcement drawings can be generated with a single click, making the process more efficient and accurate. Additionally, bar bending schedules are automatically created, and material lists can be exported to external production software formats such as BVBs, aSa, Soulé, and Excel.

Enhanced Annotation with CADS Markup

CADS Rebar Extensions for Revit also includes CADS Markup, which enables structural engineers to annotate a Revit model with reinforcement information, effectively conveying the design intent to reinforcement detailers. This feature eliminates the need for manually marking reinforcement regions on printed general arrangement drawings, saving time and reducing the risk of errors in communication.

Conclusion

CADS Rebar Extensions for Autodesk® Revit® - 2019 is a powerful tool that enhances the reinforcement workflow in Revit, making it easier and more efficient to generate reinforcement for a wide range of concrete structures. The seamless integration with CADS RC3D for Revit and the advanced features like CADS Markup make this plugin a must-have for structural engineers and designers working with concrete structures in Revit.
