CADS RC3D For Revit

CADS RC3D for Revit is software that enhances Revit's reinforcement modeling capabilities. It allows rebar to be divided into ranges and marked, and reinforcement drawings to be automatically created. Schedules and material lists can also be exported. The software extends Revit's functionality by allowing rebar splices and lengths to be specified, bars to be joined or trimmed, and bar marks to be managed. Output includes customized schedules, BVBs files, and mark diagrams.

CADS RC3D FOR REVIT

ENGINEERING SOFTWARE

OVERVIEW
CADS RC3D for Revit has been designed to
enhance the placement, annotation and bar
marking of reinforcing steel in all kinds of RC
structures. Building on the heritage of our world
leading detailing and bar listing software CADS RC
to extend the powerful reinforcement modelling
capabilities of Revit.

CADS RC3D takes the 3D modelling functionality


of Revit to the next level allowing rebar to be
divided up into bar ranges, bar marks to be created
and managed and detailed reinforcement (shop)
drawings to be created with a single click!

Bar bending schedules are automatically created


and material lists exported to external production
software file formats such as BVBs and Excel.

EXTEND REVIT’S FUNCTIONALITY Reinforcements

• Specify the position of the splices in the rebar within the


concrete host and choose from straight lapped or
cranked lapped.
• Change the overall rebar length to a selected boundary.
The boundary can be a concrete host, a detail or a model
line. Two boundaries can be selected to trim the rebar
around an opening.
• Join rebar together to form a new shape.
• Manage the bar marks assigned to each bar set that are
displayed on the 2D annotations and in the bar schedule.
• Detail to UK, US and Indian codes with more
coming shortly.
• Group bars of the same shape, bar grade and bar Rebar splice crank
diameter into one varying bar mark to apply a step taper
to a varying range and to change the visibility of the rebar
within the range assembly.

EASE OF USE
• Copy rebar from host to host or along a path.
• Group rebar together to create additional range styles
such as skewed ranges and circular ranges.
• Change a free form shape created in Revit to an
appropriate rebar shape.
• Manages the Revit view visibility states to hide/show
all the rebar or show rebar by layer.

Opening reinforcement
• Identify rebars which are not assigned to a drawing
sheet or release or rebars that are below the specified
minimum bar length or are above the maximum specified
stock length.
• As rebar is added to the model or edited the bar marks
change, CADS RC3D for Revit indicates when the bar
numbers need refreshing.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY Rebar trimmed

Revit places the rebar perpendicular to the specified path


but usually U-bars need to be placed in the same direction
as the main/secondary rebar. CADS RC3D removes the
orientation limitations from placing U bars and L bars around
the edge of walls and slabs.

Trim to an acute edge by adjusting the rebar length to fit


the slab/wall. The bars will be drawn until the minimum
dimension for the bar diameter and shape is reached.

Model the reinforcement around rectangular and circular


openings in slabs and walls.
Rebar audit
Assign rebar to predefined layers in the structure according
to the position in the concrete structure for instance T1
for top major direction, or T2 for top minor direction.
The host mark of the concrete structure is used for the
member tile in the schedule.

Assign rebar to predefined drawing sheets, schedules


can then be printed or placed on the drawing according
to this designation.

Assign rebar to a predefined release ready to be exported


from the drawing for production. Once the rebar is released
U bar
from the model it is locked to prevent further editing.

OUTPUT
Customise the appearance and content of the schedule to
their own specification, using standard Revit family files.
The schedule can be placed on a Revit View Sheet or a
set of sheets can be created for printing. Additionally, a set
of rebar shape code sketch diagrams can be placed on the
sheet. Create a production output file such as a BVBs file.
You can also export as an XML file or as a CRS file.
