Key Features
The CADS Rebar Extensions for Autodesk® Revit® - 2026 supports a wide range of concrete elements, including beams, columns, footings, pile caps, piles, retaining walls, slab corners, and walls. Developed originally by Autodesk®, these extensions are now maintained by CADS, a trusted partner in the industry. This plugin seamlessly integrates with CADS RC3D for Autodesk® Revit®, taking 3D modeling functionality to the next level.
CADS RC3D enhances the placement, annotation, and bar marking of reinforcing steel in all types of reinforced concrete structures. It allows rebar to be divided into particle groups, bar marks to be created and managed, and detailed reinforcement drawings to be generated with a single click. Bar bending schedules are automatically created, and material lists can be exported to various production software formats, such as BVBs, aSa, Soulé, and Excel.
In addition, CADS Markup, included with CADS RC3D, enables structural engineers to annotate a Revit model with reinforcement information, effectively conveying design intent to reinforcement detailers. This eliminates the need for manually marking reinforcement regions on printed general arrangement drawings, streamlining the design process and improving communication between team members.
