In Revit, you can copy and adapt shape-driven and free-form rebar from a source host to destination hosts.
00:10
The bars are adapted by matching the rebar constraints.
00:15
The bars are aligned automatically by host, or manually by the source and destination faces.
00:21
To begin this exercise, select a host with rebar inside.
00:26
Then, on the Modify | Structural Framing contextual tab, in the Reinforcement panel, select Propagate Rebar.
00:34
With this tool, you can align the rebar automatically by host, or manually by the source and destination faces.
00:42
For this example, use the manual method.
00:45
In the Propagate Rebar panel, select Align by Face.
00:50
Select a face from the source host that already contains rebar.
00:54
Note that the rebar is aligned with respect to this face.
00:58
Then, select the destination face on the target host.
01:02
The rebar appears as a preview for the faces you selected.
01:06
Finally, click Finish to save the propagated rebar, or click Cancel to discard your changes and exit the Propagate Rebar command.
01:15
Be aware that after rebar elements have been propagated, there is no connection between the original and propagated rebar sets.
01:25
Also, if some constraint targets are not matching, such as the faces of the original and destination hosts not being parallel,
01:33
then those constraints are not applied, and some bar segments will stay in place and not adapt.
01:39
Knowing how to propagate rebar from the source host to destination hosts in Revit helps with the success of every building project.
