2. Select Arch Structure object and then select Reinforcement Drawing Dimensioning from the rebar tools.

3. A dialog box will pop-out on the screen as shown below.

:

4. Enter all the details related to stroke width and color of rebar and structure.

5. Click on Next button and the dialog box will be updated as shown below.

:

6. Enter drawing views option, dimensioning and offset details.

7. Click on Next button and the dialog box will be updated as shown below.

:

8. Enter dimension label and line details.

9. Click on Next button and the dialog box will be updated as shown below.

:

10. Enter single rebar and multi rebar dimension details.

11. Click on Next button and the dialog box will be updated as shown below.

:

Reinforcement Dimensioning

Usage

1. Open FreeCAD Model containing reinforcement bars created using Reinforcement Workbench.

2. In FreeCAD Python console, copy the below code snippet to generate reinforcement drawing and dimensioning from different views for each Arch Structure element.

from ReinforcementDrawing.make_reinforcement_drawing import (
    makeStructuresReinforcementDrawing,
)

for view in ("Front", "Rear", "Left", "Right", "Top", "Bottom"):
    struct_drawing_page_dict = makeStructuresReinforcementDrawing(
        view=view, perform_dimensioning=True
    )
    for drawing_page in struct_drawing_page_dict.values():
        drawing_view = drawing_page.Views[0]
        drawing_view.setExpression(
            "LeftOffset",
            u".Template.Width.Value / 2 - .Width.Value * .Scale / 2",
        )
        drawing_view.setExpression(
            "TopOffset",
            u".Template.Height.Value / 2 - .Height.Value * .Scale / 2",
        )
        drawing_view.recompute(True)
        drawing_page.recompute(True)
