JasonMWebb Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Is there a way to generate the vertical cell reinforcement objects in a CMU foundation plan? I am looking for something along the lines of what is in this diagram (from another system). It is a common requirement for foundations. Please refer to the small squares grouped at the corners of the foundation drawing attached. Note that I am using Chief Architect Premier X12 (latest build). The detail drawing for this object would look similar to this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonMWebb Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share Posted October 7, 2020 Yes, I would prefer an automated way - much like framing or trusses work (ever x feet/inches) and special considerations for corners of foundation. It would be a shame to have to drag and drop every single vertical cell reinforcement. But I would settle for any work around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 You could use a wall definition to get you most of the way there. This is a 3 layer wall. The layer lines have the invisible line type. The main (centre) layer is a framing layer. After you build the framing you can select a stud and copy/drag/relocate...as required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be cool if you could remove the plates and replace the studs with rebar.... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonMWebb Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Yes, that is the end result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 i thought you wanted the filled cores to display, not the rebar? Either way, it can all be done within a single wall definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
