Description
The LShape Rebar tool allows the user to create a set of L-shaped reinforcing bars inside an Arch Structure object.
This command is part of the Reinforcement Addon, that you can install with the Addon Manager via the menu Tools → Addon manager → Reinforcement.
Four sets of L-shaped reinforcement bars inside an Arch Structure
How to use
- Select any face of a previously created Arch Structure object.
- Then select LShape Rebar from the rebar tools.
- A task panel will pop-out on the left side of the screen as shown below.
- Select the desired orientation.
- Give the inputs like front cover, left side cover, right side cover, bottom cover, top cover, rounding and diameter of the rebar.
- Select the mode of distribution either amount or spacing.
- If spacing is selected, a user can also opt for custom spacing.
- Pick selected face is used to verify or change the face for rebar distribution.
- Click OK or Apply to generate the rebars.
- Click Cancel to exit the task panel.

Properties
- DataOrientation: It decides the orientation of the rebar (like a bottom, top, right and left).
- DataFront Cover: The distance between rebar and selected face.
- DataRight Cover: The distance between the right end of the rebar to right face of the structure.
- DataLeft Cover: The distance between the left end of the rebar to the left face of the structure.
- DataBottom Cover: The distance between rebar from the bottom face of the structure.
- DataTop Cover: The distance between rebar from the top face of the structure.
- DataRounding: A rounding value to be applied to the corners of the bars, expressed in times the diameter.
- DataAmount: The amount of rebars.
- DataSpacing: The distance between the axes of each bar.
Scripting
The LShape Rebar tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:
makeLShapeRebar(FrontCover, BottomCover, LeftCover, RightCover, Diameter, TopCover, Rounding, AmountSpacingCheck, AmountSpacingValue, orientation, Structure, Facename)
- The LShape Rebar have four different orientations:
- Bottom Right
- Bottom Left
- Top Right
- Top Left
- Adds a LShape reinforcing bar object to the given structural object.
- If no Structure and Facename is given, it will take user selected face as input.
- Here CoverAlong argument is having type tuple.
- Returns the new Rebar object.
Example: Creating LShape rebar.
import Arch, LShapeRebar
structure = Arch.makeStructure(length=1000.0, width=1000.0, height=400.0)
structure.ViewObject.Transparency = 80
FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.recompute()
rebar = LShapeRebar.makeLShapeRebar(20, 20, 20, 20, 8, 20, 2, True, 10, "Bottom Left", structure, "Face1")
Changing properties of LShape rebar.
import LShapeRebar
LShapeRebar.editLShapeRebar(50, 50, 20, 20, 8, 20, 2, True, 5, "Top Left")
