Shape Images

The Shape Images tool creates an image of the rebar shape for each mark and adds it to the parameter Image of each rebar instance. These images can be used very comfortably in Revit schedules. The desired width for the shape images can be set on the Schedule tab in the Settings dialog. The tool uses the units for reinforcement length and diameter from the Revit project units (Click Manage tab > Project Units > Discipline: Structural).
