ReinforcementNeighbor reinforcement and mesh properties in drawings

Option
Description
4=blue
5=cyan
6=yellow
7=magenta
120= Special (use this color for gray shade)
The hatch color defines the line width for the printer. If you do not
define a color for a hatch in the schema file, Tekla Structures uses
the default color black (0). To use the special color that is printed
as color or grayscale, depending on the selected printer settings,
set the color number in the .htc file to 120.
Automatic scaling and
rotation
Automatic scaling and rotation defines whether you want to use
automatic scaling and rotation.
1=true
0=false (default)
No hatching
If you do not want to use any hatch pattern for a material, leave
the hatch name field blank in the schema file.

8.14 Reinforcement/Neighbor reinforcement and mesh properties in
drawings
Use the options in the Reinforcement or Neighbor Reinforcement properties to check and
modify the reinforcement and mesh visibility, appearance and content.
Option
Description
Visibility of all reinforcing bars
Visible shows the bars or meshes.
Visibility of all meshes
Not visible does not show the bars or meshes
Representation
single line draws a single line with radiused bends.
double lines draws an outline of the bar with radiused
bends.
double lines with filled ends draws an outline of the
bar with radiused bends and filled bar ends.
filled line draws a solid bar with radiused bends.

Reinforcement/Neighbor reinforcement and mesh
properties in drawings
Option
Description
stick draws a single line without radiused bends.
outline shows the shape of the mesh using an outline
rectangle or polygon, and a diagonal line. Applies only
to reinforcement meshes.
Visibility of reinforcing bars in group
all shows all bars in a group or mesh.
Visibility of longitudinal wires
first bar shows only the first bar in the group or mesh.
Visibility of crossing bars
last bar shows only the last bar in the group or mesh.
first and last bar shows the first and last bar in the
group or mesh.
bar in the middle of group shows one bar in the
middle of the group or mesh.
two bars in the middle of group shows two bars in
the middle of the group or mesh.
customized indicates that you have specified the
location of the only visible reinforcing bar. Applies only
to bar groups and meshes.
Hide lines behind parts
Hides the lines behind the part. This is useful, for
example, with lifting anchors where the reinforcing bar
is partly outside the part.
Hide lines behind other rebars
Hides the lines behind other reinforcement bar lines.
Symbol at straight end
Applies only to reinforcing bars.
Symbol at hooked end
Applies only to reinforcing bars.
Mesh symbol
Defines the mesh symbol to be used. The mesh symbol
appears in the middle of the diagonal line.
Symbol 1
