Arch Rebar BeamReinforcement

Description

The Beam Reinforcement tool allows the user to create reinforcing bars inside a Beam Arch Structure object.

The Beam Reinforcement tool is also integrated into BIM Workbench.

This command is part of the Reinforcement Workbench, an external workbench that can be installed with the Addon Manager via the Tools → Addon manager → Reinforcement menu.
