To draw reinforcement for a typical concrete slab of highway/airport pavement or for a bridge deck is quite simple. However, this task may become a nightmare when the number of irregularly shaped slabs increases.

This tool will help minimize human work and increase production and reliability by automating the following tasks:

  • Spreading longitudinal and transverse rebar groups according to user-defined spacing value & spacing option;
  • Automatic drawing cross-sections along user-defined section cut lines;
  • Automatic drawing rebar pullout;
  • Automatic quantity takeoff;
  • Boundary and reinforcement spacings dimensioning, rebar groups annotation 

Additional features:

  • Rebar parameters (diameter, unit weight...) of the following standards are supported: ASTM A615,  AS/NZS 4671, BS EN 10080, BS 4449, BS 8666, JIS G 3112, TCVN 1651
  • Both Imperial and Metric systems are supported

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

1. You should not mix imperial and metric units in one drawing. You can try, but the result may be inaccurate.

2. Since version 1.1.3, the app is installed in the %AppData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins folder instead of the %ProgramData%\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins folder. The first session of AutoCAD and/or verticals after updating will have to update some registry keys due to a path change. The app will NOT work in this session. Please close and re-open AutoCAD and/or verticals. The app will work properly from the second session onwards.

1. In some cases, this app cannot connect to Excel® in Microsoft® 365 (Office 365). The NTCL error message "Cannot open Microsoft® Excel®" appears right after the app is called.

This error can be fixed by running "Quick Repair" on Microsoft® 365 (Office® 365). For more information, please refer to: https://www.NTCLSoft.com/home/troubleshooting

2. Sometimes < style overrides>  dimension style may appear in the Dimension Style Manager dialog box.  In such a case, just ignore it
