Steve.

thanks, i will follow that.

I will first read your provided links and will then let you know.

Thanks,

Hi @Suraj, did you read my links about continuous beams? I am trying to implement my pyconcrete in FreeCAD. I will be appreciated to look at that

Hi @ebrahim raeyat,

I apologies for being late as I was focusing on Automated Reinforcement Drawing/Dimensioning as pointed by @Bance.

I had a look at your latest work (on 14 March).
The drawing plan dxf output produced by your code looks marvelous .

As we are now moving towards automated drawing/dimensioning of rebars, so we can also utilize your code to generated drawings in dxf format.
Please let me know if I may help you in any way.

Thanks,

thanks, my focus is on continuous beam, as I call it BeamType. I think in the real building there isn't one beam only and we have continuous beam as here:

Hi @Suraj, hi @amrit3701,
thought this could be the appropriate topic for reporting an issue I noticed with rebar-addon dialogs.
Here is the Link to my original post.

Hi @amrit3701, hi @Suraj Dadral,

while using the BeamReinforcement tool to create the Beam_TwoLeggedStirrups.svg (see post https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 69#p436693)
I noticed an issue affecting the upper and lower longitudinal beam bars.
I can reproduce the issue both in my Windows and in my Ubuntu environment. Here is a screencast showing the problem:

Hi @balrobs,

Thanks for reporting the issue. I will take a look and let you know soon.

Hi @balrobs,
Thanks for reporting the issue. I will take a look and let you know soon.

Thanks @amrit3701 for taking your time and tracking down the issue.
BTW I noticed another thing. Rebars hosted by a structure that were generated by the comands "Reinforcement_StraightRebar", "Reinforcement_UShapeRebar", "Reinforcement_LShapeRebar" and "Reinforcement_BentShapeRebar" are moved with their hosts.
But this is not the case for rebars cretated with "Reinforcement_StirrupRebar" and "Reinforcement_HelicalRebar".
So when a column or a beam is moved all rebars do so except stirrups and helical reinforcements.

Hi @balrobs

All above rebars except stirrup and helical rebars are based on sketch which can be attached to face of structure, thus moves with structure.
So, to move stirrup and helical rebars, you can double click on rebar object in side panel and click ok.
Another method to accomplish similar behaviour in case of stirrup and helical rebar, we may need to create recomputable object for each, which will consider parameters added by Reinforcement workbench and recompute object accordingly.

So, created related issue to track its status here: Create parametric object for Stirrup and Helical Rebars

Hi @balrobs

This issue has been fixed as per commit: https://github.com/amrit3701/FreeCAD-Re ... b2c5bd8b0b
So, you may now update Reinforcement workbench and check if things are working fine.

Thanks,

[balrobs]

Hi @Suraj,
thank you for the fix. I tested the BeamReinforcement tool by selecting as well the front face as the back face of the beam and your fix works fine
However selecting a lateral face of the beam I expected the reinforcement to be laid in trasversal direction ... it happened that way except for the rebar marked in red in the below picture.
Thanks for your efforts!

I am interested in this feature, any date for release it with the dev version?
