RGS - REBAR
is a state of art Rebar Detailing software, developed to meet the
challenging quality requirements of large sized projects that
involve frequent revisions and fast turn around time. This product
is developed by RGS-CAD, an experienced and highly respected
International Rebar Detailing company. This software works on
AutoCADTM platform.

Hundreds of projects from different countries across North

America, Europe, Middle East and Asia are detailed using RGS-
REBAR

RGS-REBAR is simple, user friendly, and a productive detailing

software

RGS-REBAR International Edition supports both Imperial and

Metric detailing of many International detailing codes like ACI (U.S),
B.S (British), IS (Indian) etc.

Reusable “Smart Details Library”
Smart Details Library
RGS-REBAR comes with a pre-defined Details Library for
different concrete elements like Footings, Columns,
Beams, Walls etc. These details can be inserted in any
drawing and modified to suit the requirements. This
increases the detailing productivity to a great extent.
Detailers can also create their custom library as per their
requirements for reuse.
The smartness of this library lies in it’s ability to
automatically convert the rebar properities, bar mark
formats, CAD standards etc., to suit to the current
drawing setup.
“REBAR SPREAD” – The Ultimate Auto Detailer
Rebar Spread

....................................................................................................................
Features
Slabs with complications like varying edges, openings,
specific splicing locations, Slab folds with varying slab
heights and drop panels etc., can be detailed with in
Minutes using this “Auto Detailer”.
This also optimizes the rebar lengths to reduce the
number of varying bars, based on the cutting capacity of
the shear line. This great production tool can be used to
detail even Walls, Pile caps, varying beams etc., Where
rebar needs to be spread.
AUTOMATIC BEND SHAPE RECOGNITION
Auto Bend Shape
You can draw the bar like a P-line and the bend shape will
be automatically detected by RGS-REBAR. The detailers
need not search for suitable bend shapes while detailing.
This feature helps the detailer to work for any detailing
code without worrying for the shape codes. For eg., an
American detailer can detail a British job with out
worrying about British Standards. Of course RGS-REBAR
also supports traditional style of picking up a shape and
draw it.
Automatic Bend Shape Conversion
RGS-REBAR converts the polylines into Rebar Bend
Shapes automatically, by using the proprietory "Shape
Recognition Technology".

AUTOMATIC SPECIAL BEND CREATION

Creating the special bend was never easier. If the shape you have drawn is not found in the database, it is created
automatically. It's that easy. All the views, cut lengths etc., are automatically defined. The special bend defined can be
copied, mirrored or stretched etc., like any standard bend. The special bend definition can be shared and reused.

Auto Elevation Update

The elevation value is placed using this feature. When this object
is copied or moved, then the elevation value changes accordingly.
This is very useful in places where the elevation values are
correctly typed and the actual height when measured may be
incorrect.

AUTO COUNTING OF ELEMENT MARK

Detail a Footing, Beam or Column once and assign an Element Mark

to it. Then wherever the Element Mark is placed, copied, deleted, the
software counts the number of places automatically.

PARTIAL TAKEOFF

You can even select few element marks in a particular pour and
click a button to prepare a Partial Takeoff. It’s that simple.

FLEXI VIEW PORT MANAGER

The Placing drawing speaks the quality of work. Presenting the drawing with proper scale is not an easy job. But it
is made very much easier with our “Flexi View Port Manager”

Paper space based

Synchronized view ports between paper space and model space

Scale can be changed many number of times and all the scaleable rebar objects are resized
......automatically to suit the current scale selected

HIGHLY CUSTOMIZABLE

Customization can be done as required. Default settings are provided, for each detailing code based on the industry
detailing practices. For U.S market, a standard detailing setup and one New York detailing setup are provided. The
New York detailing setup uses the automated “Intelligent Bar Marking System (IBM)”. You can almost control most
of the objects and properties of RGS-REBAR like Report, Bar mark, Callout, Label, CAD Standards, Presentation
settings, amongst others.

THE FUTURE OF REBAR ENGINEERING & MANAGEMENT

RGS-REBAR begins the next era of REBAR DETAILING, MANAGEMENT & FABRICATION
through Rebar traceability. This is achieved by linking (optional),

RGS-REBAR, the Rebar Detailing Software

RGS TRACKMATE, the web based Rebar Project Management System

RGS-REBAR SHOP, the Rebar Production Software

The rebar quantities can be easily tracked. The rebar detailing can be globally outsourced and
efficiently managed . The fabrication status, placement status, “Heat Number” of the stock
rebar used to fabricate the bar etc., could be found at the click of a button from the placing
drawing.
