When the plugin Reinforcement for AutoCAD was created (and that was a very long time ago), an anchorage calculation was added to it. This functionality was also used when creating reinforcement plugins in Revit. But time and experience of use showed that the functionality was too outdated, and contained some shortcomings. Therefore, it was decided that it was time to change it.

The calculation of the anchoring length was moved from all plugins to the main auxiliary library, and also supplemented by the possibility of calculating the length of the overlap. The calculation window is designed in such a way as to provide the user with as many explanations as possible. Plus - the ability to get the result of the calculation in Word

The functionality is implemented in the AutoCAD plugin Reinforcement, and in the plugins for Revit: Walls Reinforcement, Slabs Reinforcement and Columns Reinforcement.

Important! We did not begin to localize this functionality. Due to the fact that the calculation is made according to Russian regulations, there is no particular point in translating it. If you are not from Russia and can provide information on the calculations of anchoring length and overlap length, provide them to us and we will be happy to add them to the plugins.

P.S. In the reinforcement plugins in Revit, some bugs have also been fixed. Be sure to check them out on the Change History page.

Perhaps not the most common problem that requires automation, but nevertheless, we have repeatedly asked for help with its solution - copying filters between templates so that the graphics override settings are preserved. And today we are pleased to present a new small plugin that solves this problem - View Template Filters.

Meet the third plugin in the reinforcement line – Columns reinforcement.

The plugin concept is the same as in the previous plugins - the selected columns are analyzed and grouped according to different conditions. For each group, reinforcement is configured and performed.

A distinctive feature of this plugin is an approach to creating transverse reinforcement with the ability to move shapes and change the covered bars, which allows you to create almost any layout of transverse reinforcement.

And of course, as in the case of walls reinforcement, the plugin processes the columns taking into account their relative position!

Today's update of the recently released context filter contains new features that users have requested. You can immediately notice them in the screenshot:

Firstly, the AND/OR condition, which you may notice at the top of the third list. If the OR condition is selected, then all elements that match at least one parameter value are processed. But if the condition is AND, then only those elements that have all the parameter values ​​within the category from the third list are processed.

Secondly, one more action is added: to exclude checked elements that match the filter condition from the current selection. This action is available only if elements were selected when the filter was started. Which is logical.

Thirdly, one more additional check is added before starting the filter: that the current Revit window to which the filter belongs is active. This fixes filter run problems with multiple open copies of Revit, one after the other. But at the same time it imposes some limitations. For example, if you click on something in the properties palette, then the Revit window itself becomes inactive, and to call the filter, you must first click on the mouse in the active view. I think you can get used to it.
