PRESENTER: To be honest, we don't want
00:07
to see Rebar in most views.
00:09
It gets annoying fast and can share ugly
00:11
up a set of drawings.
00:13
What I'd like to do in this video
00:14
is show how we can look at Rebar in different views
00:18
and actually not look at Rebar in different views.
00:21
So in Revit, let's go to our section footing 13.
00:29
Select your column that the Rebar's in.
00:33
Hold down your Control key and select the footing
00:36
that your Rebar is in.
00:38
On the View panel, click the Section Box button.
00:44
Kind of neat, but what we're going to see
00:46
is if we had Escape a couple of times,
00:49
we don't see that reinforcing, right?
00:53
So what we can do is let's go ahead
00:55
and set our visual style to wireframe.
01:02
Let's set our scale to
01:07
Now, hold on your Control key and start selecting these bars
01:12
that we had placed.
01:24
I go through and select all of these.
01:31
Here we go.
01:35
Now that all those bars are selected, what we want to do
01:38
is we're going to come down the Graphics View Visibility
01:41
States.
01:41
Now, let's click Edit.
01:45
Here we go.
01:45
Now, view unobscured view as solid.
01:50
Now our 3D view that we're in happens
01:52
to be 3D view 3D, right?
01:57
So if we go down to 3D view 3D, let's select View Unobscured
02:03
and view as solid.
02:07
Click OK.
02:11
Now, if you hit Escape a couple of times,
02:15
let's set our visual style back to shaded.
02:21
Notice now that we can see all of that reinforcing.
02:28
Now, we can see that perhaps we select this bar here,
02:34
we set our layout rule instead of single,
02:36
we're going to go fixed number, quantity will be 3.
02:41
It's going to add it.
02:43
Or if we want to do maximum spacing,
02:47
spacing will be 1 foot.
02:55
We can set our view to realistic.
02:58
It's still going to show up.
03:03
So that looks a lot better.
03:04
We can drag that onto a sheet and we're all set.
03:06
It's pretty cool looking isometric.
