Concrete and reinforcement around the sample stair
FORMWORK / REINFORCEMENT / QUANTITIES
See how the work comes together.
PRO brings the model, reinforcement and documentation together in one fully developed, organized
project. Foundation slabs, floors, roofs, walls, beams, columns and stairs are presented through
a connected workflow, from the 3D concrete and reinforcement model to formwork plans,
reinforcement details, drawing sheets and quantity schedules.
Use the project as a practical reference for how real project work can be organized in Revit.
Study how the model, views, annotations and documentation fit together, then adapt the prepared
setup to your own project requirements and drawing conventions.
01
Formwork
Concrete geometry, dimensions and structural element references.
02
Reinforcement
Prepared views and annotations for reinforcement details.
03
Schedules
Bar geometry, lengths and quantities, with a summary of total lengths and weights.
THE RESULT / SAMPLE RVT
Prepared documentation, organized on sheets.
Formwork and reinforcement views, details and schedules are arranged on prepared sheets in the
sample RVT project, bringing the modeling and documentation workflow together.

PREPARED VIEW SETTINGS
View Templates
25 prepared View Templates cover formwork, reinforcement and working views, with
settings for slabs, walls, beams, columns and stairs.
Use the sample views as a reference, then assign and adapt the templates to your
documentation requirements.
VISIBILITY WITH A PURPOSE
Filters
33 prepared filters control element and reinforcement visibility. Schedule Mark and
Partition values connect reinforcement to the relevant rules and schedule groups.
Follow the examples and the guide when assigning values to your own reinforcement.
03 / REINFORCEMENT & ANNOTATIONS
Prepared content, already included.
Rebar and fabric tags, Multi-Rebar Annotations and rebar shapes work together with the prepared bar,
hook and fabric types. The content is already part of the template setup, ready to use and adapt to
your detailing conventions.
REBAR TAGS & MRAINCLUDED IN ALL PACKAGES
Annotations for plans and sections.
Two tag families provide matching formats with and without additional prefix and suffix text.
Twelve MRA types cover plans and sections with prepared dimension styles.
A library of numbered and special shapes, including hooked, angular, tie and parametric crank
shapes, with prepared segment-based length formulas. Three additional native Revit Crank
families are included in Revit 2026 and 2027.
A prepared type library for modeling the reinforcement in your own project.

FABRIC REINFORCEMENT
A prepared mesh library.
Fabric Sheet types from the A, Q and R series are included in the template, together with
prepared mesh schedules and quantity summaries.
Tags for plans and sections.
Prepared Fabric Sheet Tags identify the mesh position, type and dimensions in plans, and the mesh
type in sections. Both families include standard and ± tag types.

Empty template schedules are ready to duplicate and configure for your
reinforcement groups. The sample project shows these setups populated with modeled bars, fabric
reinforcement and couplers.
27
Prepared template schedules
26 bar, mesh and coupler schedules, plus one reinforcement organization table.
BARS & SUMMARIES
Standard bar schedules and summaries
MULTIPLIER, MESHES & COUPLERS
Additional schedule groups
BAR LENGTH
With bending radius
Uses Revit's Bar Length parameter to report the length of the modeled
bar geometry, including bends.
BAR LENGTH
Without bending radius
Uses the prepared Length of each bar parameter to sum the shape's
segment dimensions.
FABRIC REINFORCEMENT
Mesh quantities
The prepared schedules show the total required number of full-size fabric sheets, rather
than counting each modeled mesh piece as a separate full sheet.
Partition connects the model and the table. The sample schedule names match
their Partition values, making the reinforcement groups and corresponding quantities easy to
follow.
PRO / ULTRA
Multiplier, varying sets & couplers
Dedicated schedule setups support repeated quantities and bars with
varying lengths. A modeled coupler example connects the reinforcement detail with its own
schedule.
01
Repeated quantities. Dedicated schedules.
Use Rebar Multiplier when modeled reinforcement represents repeated quantities. The
dedicated Multiplier schedules apply that value in their quantity calculations.
12Modeled bars

3Multiplier

36Scheduled bars
Illustrative example. The multiplier applies only
to the dedicated schedules. Use 1 for bars counted once; a blank value is treated as
0 in this setup.
02
Varying sets. Two schedule formats.
Two prepared formats give you a choice of how to present bars with changing lengths.
Increment
A compact table shows the minimum and maximum lengths, the length increment and
the quantity for each position.
Suffix
Individual bar lengths are listed in separate rows, identified by suffixes under
the same position number.
03
Couplers, shown in context.
A modeled example shows couplers in the column reinforcement, together with bar
end-treatment information and prepared coupler schedules.
The included LENTON type provides a reference for setting up the
family and schedule for the manufacturer and connection used in your project.

06 / DIAMETER-BASED COLORS
PRO / ULTRA
See the diameters across the model.
Prepared colors distinguish the 13 bar diameter types, giving you another way to inspect the
reinforcement arrangement throughout the model.
Use this visual setup alongside your formwork and reinforcement
documentation views.

BEFORE YOU START
A foundation you can make your own.
Prepared content and examples for Revit users working with concrete,
reinforcement and project documentation.
Can I use this for my own projects?
Yes. Start from the empty RTE and use the sample RVT as a reference. Adapt the naming, view
settings, families, parameters and schedules to your project and documentation requirements.
Which package should I choose?
Choose PRO for a complete, carefully organized project that shows how the model, reinforcement,
drawings and quantities work together in practice, providing a reference you can adapt to your
own work. ULTRA includes everything in PRO, plus the reinforcement eBook and 4 hours of
consultation. BASIC offers a smaller sample project with a core set of prepared settings.
Which Revit versions and units are supplied?
Files are supplied for Revit 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027. The setup is metric. The template will
continue to be updated as new Revit versions are released.
Do I need a reinforcement plugin?
No external reinforcement plugin is required to use the included template setup. It uses native
Revit families, parameters, views, annotations and schedules.
Are the Tags and Shapes packs already included?
The prepared Rebar Tags, Multi-Rebar Annotations and Rebar Shapes are already included in BASIC,
PRO and ULTRA. You do not need to buy those family packs separately to use the content supplied
with the template. The additional varying rebar tag family is included in PRO and ULTRA.
What Revit experience do I need?
You should be familiar with Revit modeling and documentation, including families, views, filters
and View Templates. The sample projects provide references to study and adapt. BASIC does not
include a PDF guide; PRO and ULTRA include a short guide to the template setup.
Is the short PDF guide the same as the eBook?
They are separate resources. The short guide explains the template organization, key parameters
and conventions, and is included in PRO and ULTRA. The reinforcement eBook is included in ULTRA
alongside 4 hours of consultation.
Does the template include structural calculations?
No. The focus is concrete and reinforcement modeling, documentation and quantities. Structural
design and verification remain part of your engineering work.
