The RebarShapeDrivenAccessor type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	ArrayLength	Identifies the distribution path length of rebar set.
	BarsOnNormalSide	Identifies if the bars of the rebar set are on the same side of the rebar plane indicated by the normal.
	BaseFinishingTurns	For a spiral, the number of finishing turns at the lower end of the spiral.
	Height	For a spiral, the overall height.
	IsValidObject	Specifies whether the .NET object represents a valid Revit entity.
	MultiplanarDepth	For a multiplanar rebar, the depth of the instance.
	Normal	A unit-length vector normal to the plane of the rebar
	Pitch	For a spiral, the pitch, or vertical distance traveled in one rotation.
	TopFinishingTurns	For a spiral, the number of finishing turns at the upper end of the spiral.
	UseRebarConstraintsToProduceVaryingBars	Identifies if the rebar constraints should be used to compute each bar in set (which can produce varying length bars).

Methods

	Name	Description
	ComputeDrivingCurves	Compute the driving curves.
	Dispose	Releases all resources used by the RebarShapeDrivenAccessor
	Equals	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object )
	FlipRebarSet	Flips the rebar set by changing the RebarPlane with the OutOfPlaneExtent and vice versa.
	GetBarPositionTransform	Return a transform representing the relative position of any individual bar in the set.
	GetDistributionPath	The distribution path of a rebar set.
	GetHashCode	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object )
	GetType	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object )
	ScaleToBox	Move and resize the bar to fit within a specified box. The arguments are interpreted as an arbitrary rectangle in 3D with vertices: origin, origin+xVec, origin+xVec+yVec, origin+yVec. The algorithm then proceeds as follows. First the bar is given the default values of the shape parameters from the shape definition. Then, if it is possible to do so without violating the shape definition, the parameter values are scaled so that the width and height of the shape (including bar thickness) match the lengths of xVec and yVec. If there is no way to do this within the shape definition due to overconstraining, a compromise is attempted, such as scaling the whole shape until either the width or the height is correct. Finally the shape is rotated to match the coordinate system of the box. The algorithm is the same one used in one-click placement.
	ScaleToBoxFor3D	Move and resize a spiral or multiplanar instance to fit within a specified box. The arguments are interpreted as an arbitrary rectangle in 3D with vertices: origin, origin+xVec, origin+xVec+yVec, origin+yVec. One end of the rebar shape is inscribed in this rectangle following the procedure described for the ScaleToBox method. The other end is placed in the parallel plane at distance (center-to-center) given by the height argument, in the direction of (xVec x yVec). Note that spiral shapes interpret the input arguments using a different convention than multiplanar shapes. For spiral shapes, the spiral start will be placed in the rectangle defined by origin, xVec, yVec, and the end of the spiral will be placed in the parallel plane. For multiplanar shapes, the rebar is placed with its primary shape definition located in the parallel plane defined by the height argument, and its connector segments extending in the direction opposite (xVec x yVec). This method replaces ScaleToBoxForSpiral() from prior releases.
	SetLayoutAsFixedNumber	Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to FixedNumber.
	SetLayoutAsMaximumSpacing	Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to MaximumSpacing
	SetLayoutAsMinimumClearSpacing	Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to MinimumClearSpacing
	SetLayoutAsNumberWithSpacing	Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to NumberWithSpacing
	SetLayoutAsSingle	Sets the Layout Rule property of rebar set to Single.
	SetRebarShapeId	Changes the RebarShape element that defines the shape of the rebar. Changing the value of this member causes the Rebar instance to choose values for its shape parameters to preserve its previous shape as closely as possible
	ToString	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object )

Remarks

Obtain an instance of this class from GetShapeDrivenAccessor . The accessor includes a reference to the Rebar element. If the referenced Rebar element is deleted, using the methods form this class will throw exception.
