The Reinforcement ColumnRebars tool allows the user to create reinforcing bars inside a Column Arch Structure object.
This tool is part of the Reinforcement Workbench, an external workbench that can be installed with the Addon Manager.
Three usage examples are available:
Single tie reinforcement inside a column
1. Select any face of a previously created Structure object.
2. Then select Column Reinforcement from the rebar tools.
3. A dialog box will pop-out on screen as shown below.
4. Select the desired type of column reinforcement.
5. Give inputs for data related to ties.
6. Click Next and the dialog box will be updated as shown below.
7. Select desired rebar type and fill data for main rebars.
8. Click Next and the dialog box will be updated as shown below.
9. Select desired rebar type and fill data for xdirection rebars.
10. Click Next and the dialog box will be updated as shown below.
11. Select desired rebar type and fill data for ydirection rebars.
12. Click OK or Apply to generate column reinforcement.
13. Click Cancel to exit the dialog box.
Ties:
Main Rebars: Rebars present at corners of tie
XDir Secondary Rebars: Rebars along x-direction except main rebars
YDir Secondary Rebars: Rebars along y-direction except main rebars

The Reinforcement ColumnRebars tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:
RebarGroup = makeSingleTieFourRebars(
l_cover_of_tie,
r_cover_of_tie,
t_cover_of_tie,
b_cover_of_tie,
offset_of_tie,
bent_angle,

structure=None,
facename=None,
).rebar_group
RebarGroup object from the given structure, which is an Arch Structure, and facename, which is a face of that structure.
structure nor facename are given, it will take the user selected face as input.l_cover_of_tie, r_cover_of_tie, t_cover_of_tie, b_cover_of_tie and offset_of_tie are inner offset distances for the tie elements with respect to the faces of the structure. They are respectively the left, right, top, bottom and front/rear offsets.bent_angle define the angle of the tip of the reinforcement loop.extension_factor define the length of the tip of the reinforcement loop, expressed in times the diameter.dia_of_tie is the diameter of the ties.number_spacing_check if it is True it will create as many ties as given by number_spacing_value; if it is False it will create ties separated by the numerical value of number_spacing_value.number_spacing_value specifies the number of ties, or the value of the separation between them, depending on number_spacing_check.dia_of_rebars is the diameter of the main rebars.t_offset_of_rebars and b_offset_of_rebars are inner offset distances for the main rebars with respect to the top and bottom faces of the structure, respectively.rebar_type is the type of the main rebars; it can be "StraightRebar" or "LShapeRebar".hook_orientation specifies the orientation of LShaped hook; it can be: "Top Inside", "Top Outside", "Bottom Inside", "Bottom Outside", "Top Right", "Top Left", "Bottom Right" or "Bottom Left".hook_extend_along specifies direction for hook extension; it can be "x-axis" or "y-axis".l_rebar_rounding is the parameter that determines the bending radius of the LShaped main rebars, expressed as times the diameter.hook_extension is the length of hook of LShaped rebars.
