Visual Scripting - longitudinal bar distribution along the full shape of main bars


Hello,

One of the examples provided by Allplan Visual Scripting is ‘CreateLongitudinalBars.pyp’ from ‘Reinforcement’ folder.

If you run it, it creates a box with a ‘U-shape’ reinforcement-type as main bars. Inside the main bars, there are longitudinal bars distributed vertically – also ‘U-shaped’.

As a default, the script is distributing all longitudinal bars along the ‘vertical’ segment of the main bars ( see attached picture ). What if I want to place the longitudinal bars along the ‘horizontal’ part of the main bars – either top or bottom ?

I tried changing 'Bar Segment Number' from 2 to 1 or 3, but nothing is happening. I assume whatever shape the main bar has, the 'bar segment number' between the 'hooks' will always be 2 ?

Thank you.

H.

The problem here might be that the node BarPlacementAlongBarSegment doesn't support hook. Therefore, it doesn't work with the segment Nr.1 and 3.

If the bar shape has hooks, the first number and the last one won't be treated as normal bar segments. But, I'm not familiar with the topic rebar...
