Probar for BricsCAD®

Wizards & Workflow

Probar offers wizards to assist in detailing common structural parts that require repetitive actions. The wizards can read dimension- and rebar information from PROKON design module files and load the reinforcement into BricsCAD®. The wizards include:

Pad Footing wizard
Rectangular & Circular column wizard
Continuous Beam wizard
Sumo wizard

Rebar Properties Palette

Probar uses the BricsCAD® Properties palette for rebar objects for easy editing of rebar properties such as diameter, shape code, and Bar dimensions. Like other objects, rebar objects can be filtered out of a multiple object selection by selecting type “Rebar”.

Schedule Palette

The Scheduler reads all the rebar objects in the drawing, helps sort the information, and outputs the information in tables on the BricsCAD® drawing. Sorting happens by Member Name and then by Bar Mark. Bars with the same mark and the same dimensions will automatically be added together. Errors in the schedule – e.g., two bars with the same bar mark, and different bar dimensions – are automatically highlighted.

No need for creating manual rebar shapes: Avoid the tedious task of creating rebar shapes manually
Accurate Placement: Ensure precise placement of rebar in your designs.
