1) I am trying to modify the program rebar generated to user rebars. As shown in the attached picture, how does ram concept calculate the number of rebars needed when you enter the zone width. For instance I need 5bars @ 16'', I would expect to enter zone width of 5.33' since the actual spacing between 5bars is 5.33' (16'' x 4=64'/12=5.33') and not 6.667' (16''x5=80''/12=6.667') but everytime I enter zone width of 5.33' the numbers of bars changes to 4 which is not what I need.
2) How can I edit the call-out line and rebars (circled and labelled 2 in picture) for the middle bar to start at exactly the center line of the columns and not just below the center line? Can I also edit the rebar to show it at the middle of the call-out line? I can see that the spacing on both side of the rebar is not the same on the callout line
3) After editing the rebars and I rerun the analysis hope ram concept wont revert back to its initial program rebars?
