Query regarding creating non-planar rebars

[amrit3701]

The current rebar system created only planar rebars because it is created by using sketch and sketch is strictly based on 2D. However, for creating non-planar rebars we can create wire (it may be planar or non-planar) and then pass this wire to Arch.makeRebar().

But when I increase an amount of Rebar (which is created by passing wire to Arch.makeRebar()) it will always expanded to <code>Vector(0,0,-1)</code> direction. My question can I define an expanding direction of rebars?

@Yorik

I think we need to change an internal data structure of Rebar object. The Arch.makeRebar() function should take a direction of expanding rebar as input while creating it from a wire.

The Rebar object has a "Direction" property that is exactly for that purpose. Notice that if you keep that to (0,0,0), the direction is automatically taken from the Placement. So you can "override" automatic normal direction by setting the Direction property to some value (ex. (1,0,0))
