• Creates a RebarGroup object from the given structure, which is an Arch Structure, and facename, which is a face of that structure.

  • If no structure nor facename are given, it will take the user selected face as input.

   Possible values:    1. 'StraightRebar' or 'LShapeRebar' ', ...) and number of elements of tuple must be equal to number of reinforcement       layers.    3. [ ', ...), ', ...),           ...,       ]       each element of list is a tuple, which specifies rebar type of each reinforcement layer. And each element of       tuple represents rabar_type for each set of rebars.    4. [ , ', ...),           ...,       ]

• top_reinforcement_layer_spacingand bottom_reinforcement_layer_spacing is the spacing between two consecutive reinforcement layers.

   Possible values:
