To take bar bending schedules (BBS) for rebar in Revit, you'll first need to
create a rebar schedule,
then select the required parameters to include, and finally, place the schedule
on a sheet.
You can then customize the schedule with specific parameters like bar diameter,
length, mark, and shape.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
1. Create a Rebar Schedule:
In Revit, navigate to the View tab, then the Create panel.
Select Schedules > Schedule Quantities.
In the New Schedule dialog, under Category, select Structural Rebar.
Click OK.
2. Add Fields to the Schedule:
In the Schedule Properties dialog, go to the Fields tab.
Add parameters such as bar diameter, bar length, rebar mark, and shape.
You can add other parameters like total number, host count, and quantity.
Consider using calculated parameters to derive values like total number
(e.g., host count multiplied by the quantity of bars in the element).
3. Customize the Schedule:
Use the Sorting/Grouping tab to group the schedule by rebar type, partition, or
other criteria.
Use the Formatting tab to customize the schedule's appearance (e.g., column
widths, text formatting).
4. Place the Schedule on a Sheet:
Once the schedule is set up, you can place it on a sheet by dragging it onto the
desired drawing.
5. Optional: Add Bar Bending Details:
You can annotate the model with bar bending details using the Bar Bending Detail
tool, found in the Annotate tab.
This allows you to visually represent the bending details for each rebar type.
Tips for Effective Rebar Scheduling in Revit:
Use Custom Parameters:
Create custom parameters to store specific information relevant to your project,
such as bending details or
additional reinforcement requirements.
Utilize Rebar Schedules for Quantity Takeoff:
Rebar schedules can be used for quantity takeoff by calculating the total length
of rebar for each bar type.
Export to Excel:
You can export the rebar schedule to Excel for further analysis or calculations.
Consider Free-Form Rebars:
If you are using free-form rebar shapes, you may need to use the "Calculated"
parameter to determine
the total length of the rebar.
