Seamless Integration with CADS RC3D for Revit
The CADS Rebar Extensions work seamlessly with CADS RC3D for Revit, another powerful extension designed to enhance the placement, annotation, and bar marking of reinforcing steel in all types of reinforced concrete structures. This integration takes the 3D modeling functionality of Revit to the next level, empowering users to divide rebar into particle groups, create and manage bar marks, and generate detailed reinforcement drawings effortlessly.
One of the standout features of CADS RC3D is the automatic creation of bar bending schedules. This saves valuable time and ensures accuracy in the reinforcement process. Additionally, the extension allows for the export of material lists to external production software file formats, such as BVBs, aSa, Soulé, and Excel, facilitating smooth collaboration with production teams.
