Re: Rebar Models will not render

I managed to select all 182 instance of rebar objects and then ran the check geometry tool.

It showed no invalid shapes.

Re: Rebar Models will not render

Also, I have not yet performed the following

I'm having problems showing rebar models in Techdraw. I have a concrete frame structure that I modeled. It has columns and beams filled with rebar.
