RC Detailing Macros
CADS RC Detailing Macros are available for stair flights, pilecaps (2-9 pile layouts), pad footings and octagonal bases. Users are able to describe their structure by entering values for given parameters into the program.
re-use later. When an existing detail is required again, users simply browse the RC Library to find what they want and insert it into the drawing. RC Editing Capability - CADS RC provides detailers with a unique facility to edit details quickly and easily, thus optimising the re-use of existing information. All changes to the drawing are immediately reflected in the on-line bar bending schedule and all bar labels, sections etc, are also updated automatically.
Quality Assurance
When the data is complete, a detail is drawn, labelled and scheduled in a matter of a few seconds. Such details can also be amended later with CADS RCs extensive reinforcement editing tools. CADS RC maintains a reinforcement database that always reflects exactly what is on the drawing. Extra safeguards are provided by a series of RC - Audits that detect unlabelled bars or incomplete bar sets. CADS RC drawings require less manual checking, thus scheduling errors are virtually a thing of the past!
