CMU Vertical Cell Reinforcement

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:

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.

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.

That would be cool if you could remove the plates and replace the studs with rebar.... ?
