5.2.5 Propuesta N° 5
The Reinforcement description dialog for bar distribution (element view) consists of 2 tabs:
• Description elements
• Description syntax
The Reinforcement description dialog displays after you select the description of reinforcement distribution (element view) and click New or Modify on the Description of reinforcement shape dialog.
To add a new description of distribution (element view), click Add after you define parameters of distribution description.
20.3.7. Description elements
On the Description elements tab of the Reinforcement description (distribution - element view) dialog, you can define parameters such as colors, line thickness, font size, and label shape for a description.
The options included in the Position field refer to a label and the number that the label contains (see the drawing below).
Under Position, specify Label parameters:

here are 4 styles of distribution description that can be parametrized. For each style, various T
parameters can be defined:
the first style lets you define 2 independent types of markers (on ends of an extension line and in between them) and their sizes; the Distance to
reinforcement option is available.
the second style lets you define 1 marker type and size; the Distance to reinforcement option is available.
r the third and fourth styles, 1 field is provided for selecting a marker:

20.3.8. Description syntax
On the Description syntax tab of the Reinforcement descriptio
dialog, you can define syntax of a reinforcement distribution. The dialog lets you define the general style and also lets you compose syntax and contents of reinforcement description.
Under Syntax elements, select components and move them to the Description fields (by clicking the arrow under the element list), where you can arrange variables with user-defined text and symbols. An example description is: φ10 every 15 cm length = 2.0 m.
Because the description may consists of 2 parts, there are 2 edit fields. The upper edit field contains desciption components that will display above the line, whereas the lower edit field contains the components that display under the line (see the Position option on the
Description elements tab).
The Preview field displays a description of reinforcement distribution that results from the defined syntax. This description is based on number values that have been saved as fixed, and updates with changes in preferences (change of unit or precision). NOTE: units are not displayed in a preview.
Under Units and precision, the software displays the diameter, length, and spacing data applied while displaying a given value.
Variables included in a reinforcement distribution description:
%num - number of reinforcing bars
%sym - diameter symbol
%dia - diameter
%pos - number of reinforcement position
%spa - spacing
%stl - reinforcement class
%len - reinforcement length
%lmin - minimum reinforcement length
%lmax - maximum reinforcement length
%lmid - average reinforcement length
%dl - increment of reinforcement length equal to a constant value
%sch - reinforcement symbol
%ang - angle
%code - reinforcement code
%des - user description
Select User description in order to add text to the reinforcement description determined in the Reinforcement description dialog (for longitudinal and transversal reinforcement, point reinforcement, or distribution of reinforcement).
NOTE:
The manner of reinforcement distribution description depends on the type of reinforcement being described and on the country code being applied.
Characters added should be put in brackets to ensure that, if any description data (such as spacing) is missing, the entire description text with a variable will not be displayed
NOTE:
For example, if a bar symbol is to be included in the description of a defined reinforcing bar, select Reinforcement symbol and click the arrow. The variable containing a bar symbol will be added to the Description edit field, and you should then click Add.
20.3.9. Bar symbol
The Reinforcement description dialog for a bar symbol or a symbol of a bar with variable length consists of 2 tabs:
• Description elements
• Description syntax
Using the options on this dialog, you can define components that are provided when a reinforcement description is placed outside the contour of an element formwork.
The Reinforcement description dialog displays after you select the description of reinforcement distribution (element view or element projection) and click New or Modify on the Description of reinforcement shape dialog.
To add a new description of bar symbol, click Add after you define parameters of a bar symbol description.
20.3.10. Description elements
On the Description elements tab of the Reinforcement description (bar symbol/with variable L) dialog, you can define parameters such as colors, line thickness, font size, and label shape for a description.
The options included in the Position field refer to a label and the number that the label contains (see the drawing below).
Specify label parameters:
• Color
• Line thickness
• Shape • Size
Specify label number parameters:
• Font style
• Color • Size
Using the options under Description of leg length, you can define a description of the bar leg length:
• Style • Color • Size
• Position of the text with respect to the reinforcement
The options under Description text appearance define a description placed directly behind a position:
• Style • Color • Size
• Position with respect to a label (horizontal distance)
20.3.11. Description syntax
On the Description syntax tab of the Reinforcement description (bar symbol/with variable L) dialog, you can define description syntax for a symbol of reinforcement whose description is provided outside the formwork contour.
Under Syntax elements, select components and move them to the Description field (by clicking the arrow under the element list), where you can arrange variables with user-defined text and symbols. An example description is: f10 every 15 cm length = 2.0 m.
The Preview field displays a description of a reinforcement symbol that results from the defined syntax. This description is based on number values that have been saved as fixed, and updates with changes in preferences (change of unit or precision). NOTE: units are not displayed in a preview.
Under Units and precision, the software displays the diameter, length, and spacing data applied while displaying a given value.
Variables included in a reinforcement symbol description:
%num - number of reinforcing bars
%sym - diameter symbol
%pos - number of reinforcement position
%spa - spacing
%stl - reinforcement class
%len - reinforcement length
%lmin - minimum reinforcement length
%lmax - maximum reinforcement length
%lmid - average reinforcement length
%dl - increment of reinforcement length equal to a constant value
%sch - reinforcement symbol
%des - user description
Select User description in order to add text to the reinforcement description determined in the Reinforcement description dialog (for longitudinal and transversal reinforcement, point reinforcement, or distribution of reinforcement).
NOTE:
The manner of reinforcement symbol description depends on the type of reinforcement being described and on the country code being applied.
Characters added should be put in brackets to ensure that, if any description data (such as spacing) is missing, the entire description text with a variable will not be displayed
NOTE:
For example, if a bar symbol is to be included in the description of a defined reinforcing bar, select Reinforcement symbol and click the arrow. The variable containing a bar symbol will be added to the Description edit field, and you should then click Add.
