Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure.RebarBarType

The Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure.RebarBarType class represents a type of rebar bar in a Revit project. A rebar bar type defines the properties of the rebar bars that are used in structural elements such as beams, columns, and walls.

Properties

• Name: Gets the name of the rebar bar type. This property is read-only.

• Diameter: Gets the diameter of the rebar bar type. This property is read-only.

• Material: Gets the material of the rebar bar type. This property is read-only.

• BendDiameter: Gets the diameter of the bending loop for the rebar bar type. This property is read-only.

• BendAngle: Gets the angle of the bending loop for the rebar bar type. This property is read-only.

• ScheduleName: Gets the name of the rebar bar type's schedule. This property is read-only.

Methods

• GetBarGeometry(): Gets the geometry of the rebar bar type. The geometry includes the shape of the bar and the dimensions of the bending loop.

• GetSpacing(): Gets the spacing of the rebar bar type. The spacing is the distance between the centers of adjacent bars.

• GetWeightPerUnitLength(): Gets the weight per unit length of the rebar bar type. The weight per unit length is the weight of one unit (e.g. one meter) of the bar.

Remarks

• Rebar bar types can be created and modified using the Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure.RebarBarTypeBuilder class.

• Rebar bar types are stored in the Revit project as a part of the project's settings.

• Rebar bar types can be used to create reinforcement elements such as straight bars, stirrups, and ties.

Examples

// Get all rebar bar types in the project
FilteredElementCollector collector = new FilteredElementCollector(document);
ICollection<Element> rebarBarTypes = collector.OfClass(typeof(RebarBarType)).ToElements();

// Iterate through the rebar bar types
foreach (Element element in rebarBarTypes)
{
    RebarBarType rebarBarType = element as RebarBarType;

    // Get the name of the rebar bar type
    string name = rebarBarType.Name;

    // Get the diameter of the rebar bar type
    double diameter = rebarBarType.Diameter;

    // Get the material of the rebar bar type
    Material material = rebarBarType.Material;

    // Get the schedule name of the rebar bar type
    string scheduleName = rebarBarType.ScheduleName;

    // Get the geometry of the rebar bar type
    RebarBarGeometry geometry = rebarBarType.GetBarGeometry();

    // Get the spacing of the rebar bar type
    double spacing = rebarBarType.GetSpacing();

    // Get the weight per unit length of the rebar bar type
    double weightPerUnitLength = rebarBarType.GetWeightPerUnitLength();
