Modeling rebars in 3D can give you the following benefits:
- Seamless rebar fitting and clash checking in 3D
- Extract Excel report of rebar and material quantity
- Automatically output 2D cross-section drawings including rebar details
(Check out the above outputs at https://midasoft.com/bridge/substructurebetatest/3)
The modeling effort should not outweigh the benefit. Check out the basics of the new rebar modeling method. Comment to let me know your answers to the following questions:
- Is the new rebar modeling more efficient compared to your current method?
- Will you use this 3D rebar modeling for the above benefits?
- What should we consider to make the benefit clearly outweigh the modeling effort in both the modeling and output sides?
