BIM Q&A | How to Create Model Groups in Revit for Steel Bar Models to Enable Replication
First, start by building the structural model. Keep in mind that this should be a structural model—such as structural columns, beams, and similar elements—not just a general building model. You can verify this by checking the “Structure” parameter in the component’s instance properties.
Next, place the steel bars inside the structural model according to the actual reinforcement requirements. Drawing steel bars demands patience and attention to detail. Since Revit’s rebar tools are somewhat limited, it’s helpful to explore all the available options yourself to find the best approach.
For custom building families, be sure to check the option that allows steel bars to attach to their host when editing the family. This ensures proper integration of reinforcement within your model.
