- [Instructor] Okay, it's time to start adding some rebar. Let's just jump in. In our models, let's go to open. Browse where you're keeping your exercise files. Let's jump into chapter seven. Let's grab structural 07-01, click open. Let's go down to level one structural plans. Let's add yet another section. Where do you want to put it? Let's put it right here. On the quick access toolbar, let's click this section button. I'm going to pick a spot right here. I'm going to pull it down to about here. Then we'll hit escape a few times. Let's double click on this section. Now, I don't want it to go all the way up to the top, so let's select our crop region, grab the little grip. Let's pull it all the way down to here. Grab this grip and pull it up. Instead of 1/8th inch equals a foot, let's make it half inch equals a foot, and let's set the detail level to fine. Now, you may or may not want to see a joint here. So many times what we could do is make this look a little more monolithic. So if you go to the modified tab and click the join button, you can select your wall, then select your floor, select your thickened slab, then select your wall, and it looks a little more monolithic. You might want to show a joint there for a thermal break, but I'm just showing you how to make it look like it's one monolithic entity. So let's do this, let's add some rebar. Let's select our wall. And then on the reinforcement tab, we have the rebar button right here, click that. These will include hooks and will ignore end treatments. It's fine, whatever. Hit okay, we'll look at reinforcing settings later. So, parallel to work plan, for the rebar set for the layout, let's go with the maximum spacing, and for the spacing, let's go 12 inches. Now if you hover over the wall here, you're going to see these little green dotted lines. These are the rebar cover settings, and we're going to look at those also. But what I want to do now is just, let's put some rebar in here. So I'm going to kind of eyeball this. I'm going to put it like right about here. Then I'm going to put another one like right about here. Then I'm going to hit escape a few times. Now, notice that you can select this bar and you can pull it down, right? So we're going to keep it just like it is right now, and that's pretty easy. So that's how we add rebar parallel to face.
