Features
RGS-REBAR comes with a pre-defined Details Library for
different concrete elements like Footings, Columns,
Beams, Walls etc. These details can be inserted in any
drawing and modified to suit the requirements. This
increasesthedetailingproductivitytoagreatextent.
Detailers can also create their custom library as per their
requirementsforreuse.
The smartness of this library lies in it’s ability to
automatically convert the rebar properities, bar mark
formats, CAD standards etc., to suit to the current
drawingsetup.
Reusable “Smart Details Library”
“REBAR SPREAD” – The Ultimate Auto Detailer
Slabs with complications like varying edges, openings,
specific splicing locations, Slab folds with varying slab
heights and drop panels etc., can be detailed with in
Minutesusingthis“AutoDetailer”.
This also optimizes the rebar lengths to reduce the
number of varying bars, based on the cutting capacity of
the shear line. This great production tool can be used to
detail even Walls, Pile caps, varying beams etc., Where
rebarneedstobespread.
You can draw the bar like a P-line and the bend shape will
be automatically detected by RGS-REBAR. The detailers
neednotsearchforsuitablebendshapeswhiledetailing.
This feature helps the detailer to work for any detailing
code without worrying for the shape codes. For eg., an
American detailer can detail a British job with out
worryingaboutBritishStandards. OfcourseRGS-REBAR
also supports traditional style of picking up a shape and
drawit.

AUTOMATIC SPECIAL BEND CREATION
Creating the special bend was never easier. If the shape you have drawn is not found in the database, it is created
automatically. It's that easy. All the views, cut lengths etc., are automatically defined. The special bend defined can be

You can even select few element marks in a particular pour and
click a button to prepare a Partial Takeoff. It’s that simple.
Detail a Footing, Beam or Column once and assign an Element Mark
to it. Then wherever the Element Mark is placed, copied, deleted, the

6. In these days of faster construction practices, the revisions play a very important role. A detailer must be equipped
with proper tools to incorporate revisions faster.
INCORPORATE REVISIONS OR CHANGES FASTER
You can match the property of one bar to a selected set of bars. The selected bars will be immediately redrawn
automatically to reflect the change. This is a very powerful option that can be used to change bend shapes, Laps, Leg
values and many other properties of multiple bars in a single mouse click. Match properties is supported with powerful
“RebarFilters“toenablequickselectionofRebar.
