HowTo Model Rebar in CMU Cores

[elsordo]

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out a good way to model vertical rebar that connects two ring beams with cement block wall between them.

I model the cement block wall as an ARCH Wall with make blocks turned on.

The ring beams are ARCH Structures.

Modeling the horizontal rebar in the beams is not a problem.

The problem is modeling the vertical rebar. I would like to place the vertical rebar every four feet and somehow indicate that the cores are fully grouted.

Also, I would like to model the 90 bends at the ends of the rebar to tie the vertical rebar to horizontal strands in the upper and lower ring beams.

I can model the wires for the vertical rebar but I cant figure out how to host the vertical rebar to a particular location within the wall.

@elsordo The post was moved to get more relevant exposure since it's on the subject of the Arch WB.
The forum is getting an enormous influx of user questions lately and all the veterans are swamped. So keep asking and if need, bump your thread if you don't get an answer in 24 hours.
