Slab Rebar Tag — annotate the current plan

Open a Floor/Structural Plan, select Floor hosts or Rebar, then run Slab Rebar Tag. Without preselection, pick multiple floors/bars and Finish. This command has no Plans-style settings window; selection and the active view define scope.

Select scope and repeat deliberately​

Open a Floor Plan or Structural Plan that shows reinforcement. Select a Floor for its host bars or select individual Rebar sets for a narrower scope. Mixed Floor/bar selections are deduplicated. Without preselection, pick Floors/Rebar and Finish; Esc cancels. Tag has no Plans-style options dialog, scale/layer/sheet checkboxes.

Run Slab Rebar Tag and read Tagged/AlreadyTagged/NotVisible/ReviewRequired plus Errors/Notes. MRA/tag/distribution graphics annotate the current view without creating steel. Select a tag/MRA and inspect D/spacing text, references and distribution line against the actual set. One tag is not one physical set position.

Repeat the same scope/view to inspect AlreadyTagged rather than expecting the first-run count again. For NotVisible, inspect View Range, VG/category, crop, phase and presentation before retrying. Resolve missing annotation families/styles and reported fallbacks in the project; use Plans for template/layout controls. Do not delete Rebar to address annotation errors.

Inspect review notes after manual tag moves and save the RVT. Undo affects the annotation transaction; Ctrl+S preserves tags across reopening. Any result image below applies to its reported view/scope and does not establish complete overlap-free annotation on every Floor.

Flow and report​

  • Floor selection collects hosted Rebar; Rebar selection restricts scope to those bars. Mixed selection is deduplicated by the service.
  • No steel cancels with a message. A non-ViewPlan view requests a plan.
  • PrepareStyle resolves/creates BS-Slab Rebar MRA, diameter/pitch tag and distribution-line dimension style, potentially reading template resources. If MRA is missing, usable tag-only output is reported in Notes.
  • Default presentation is Middle. Already tagged sets in the view are skipped.
  • Read Tagged, AlreadyTagged, NotVisible, ReviewRequired, Errors and Notes. NotVisible needs View Range/VG review; ReviewRequired needs layout review.

Verify and save​

Select the resulting MRA/tag and inspect text, distribution line and references. Rebar set count differs from total positions. Undo reverts the Tag transaction; save the RVT separately. Use Plans for layers/templates/scale/sheets.

The current entry returns its authorization check after the task. This batch does not invoke the entry to evade that condition; service evidence is identified separately below.
