The (re)Bar Manager: CP_BARMAN – CADPower Command

By /

Summary

The CP_BARMAN command in CADPower is a specialized tool for managing reinforcement bars (rebars) in structural, civil, and construction projects. It helps in organizing, quantifying, and detailing rebar elements, making it a valuable tool for engineers, architects, and construction professionals working in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander.

CADPower -> BOM/BOQ Tools -> General -> The (re)Bar Manager

Key features include:

1. Comprehensive Rebar Management

  • Organizes and manages reinforcement bars (rebars) in CAD drawings.
  • Helps in defining, labeling, and quantifying rebars efficiently.

2. Supports Rebar Attributes and Data Fields

  • Assigns bar diameter, length, spacing, material type, and grade.
  • Stores and retrieves bar specifications from an external INI file.
  • Links cost per unit length and weight per unit length for accurate quantity estimation.

3. Automated Bar Bending Schedule (BBS) Generation

  • Generates structured reports for rebar detailing.
  • Computes total rebar quantities, weight, and cost in table format.
  • Exports data to CSV for easy integration with spreadsheets and construction reports.

4. Customizable Bar Naming and Labeling

  • Auto-assigns bar numbers and IDs for proper identification.
  • Supports manual or automated tagging of rebars in the drawing.

5. Seamless Integration with CP_LINEQTY for Quantity Estimation

  • Works with CP_LINEQTY to compute total bar lengths and material requirements.
  • Uses an INI file-based workflow for structured data storage and retrieval.

6. Compatibility with Standard CAD Objects

  • Works with LINE, POLYLINE, LWPOLYLINE, ARC, and SPLINE objects representing rebars.
  • Ensures easy modification and management of rebar elements.

Ideal Applications

  • Structural Engineering: Design and manage reinforcement bars for slabs, beams, and columns.
  • Civil Construction: Automate bar scheduling and quantity take-offs.
  • Infrastructure Projects: Manage rebar details in bridges, tunnels, and retaining walls.

Seamless CAD Platform Integration

The CP_BARMAN command is optimized for BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD, and ARES Commander, making it a powerful tool for reinforcement detailing and estimation.

This tool enhances efficiency, reduces errors, and ensures compliance with rebar detailing standards in construction drawings.
