Issue
Hook lengths are wrong in schedule schema and bending details (created with the mechanism based on detail groups) for bars which have the “Override hook lengths” option activated.
Additional details
The problem may occur in one of the following situations:
- The user is creating bars using native Revit. Having the “Override hook lengths” checked, he manually modifies the hook lengths.
- The user is creating bars using PowerPack Design or Detailing tools (Calculate, Main bars dialog etc.). In this process, the engine is automatically considering this “Override hook lengths” option checked, to not create additional rebar hook families for each hook length.
If the user generates bending detail with the old mechanism or creates schedules schemas in one of these situations, the hook lengths will be wrong, the initial value of the hook length from the Rebar Hook family will be displayed.
Example
Bar is created in Revit with Rebar Hook family Standard – 135 deg.:
The initial value of the hook length for the Standard – 135 deg. rebar hook family is 97.7 mm:
The option “Override Hook Lengths” is activated and the values for hook lengths are changed to 57.7 mm.:
The bending detail is generated using the mechanism based on Detail Groups. The value on hook is the initial hook length, 97.7 (100 mm) not the correct one, 57.7 mm.
Status:
This incident has been reviewed. A resolution is being planned for a future release.
Workaround:
To avoid this behavior, uncheck the option “Override hook lengths” and use the initial hook lengths which come with the Rebar Hook family. Create a new Rebar Hook family for each different value of the hook length.
