Save time by automatically generating reinforcement in Autodesk® Revit® using the free unlimited trial of CADS' Extension Tools for a range of standard concrete structures. Select the structural concrete elements to be reinforced, launch the appropriate tool, or select the automatic generation tool. Specify the parameters to be used when reinforcing the structure. Supported concrete elements include beams, columns, continuous footings, parapets, pile caps, concrete piles, retaining walls, slab corners, slab openings, spread footings, wall corners, and walls.

The Rebar Extensions were originally developed by Autodesk but due to their close partnership with CADS, they have asked us to develop and maintain the extensions. These extensions work with CADS RC3D for Revit which is a Revit extension designed to enhance the placement, annotation, and bar marking of reinforcing steel in all kinds of RC structures. CADS RC3D takes the 3D modelling functionality of Revit to the next level allowing rebar to be divided up into particle groups (bar ranges), bar marks to be created and managed, detailed reinforcement (shop) drawings to be created with a single click! Bar bending schedules are automatically created and material lists exported to external production software file formats such as BVBs, aSa, Soulé, and Excel.

CADS Markup also comes with CADS RC3D and allows structural engineers to annotate a Revit model with reinforcement information to convey the design intent to reinforcement detailers effectively avoiding the process of manually marking reinforcement regions on printed general arrangement drawings.

Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard App Store installer). 

CADS Rebar Extension is free to use the application but requires a one-time registration. Once you download the application from the store, you will receive an email with a registration number to activate the application. The application will be fully functional for unlimited usage thereafter. You can contact CADS through email (sales@cads.co.uk) to request for additional registration keys if you wish to install this application in multiple systems.
