Change Attributes
Used as a simple method for changing the color and weight of main or longitudinal bars, and the text parameters for bar labels.
Accessed from:In order to use this tool, place a fence around the area to be changed and select the Attributes tool. The tool modifies all bars contained in the current Fence and so is very much quicker.
Groups of controls are displayed for the Main Bar, Longitudinal Bars, and Text. Each group relates to the equivalent Bar Attributes dialog. Activate the desired parameters to be changed by checking the appropriate options. Click Clear All (or Set All) to deactivate (or activate) all toggles at once.
When you’ve chosen the required attributes, click Update. All bars within the current Fence are redrawn with these new Attributes.
New attribute values are extracted from your current Bar Defaults dialogs, then loaded into the selected bars. You could also make these changes using Modify Rebar and editing the Bar Attributes but this would be time-consuming especially if many bars must change.
