Rebar drawings and schedules with Blender 3D, Sverchok, GeoNodes
Open for discussion.
I ve decided to post some tests and short tutorials on the subject of generating fast parametric Reinforced Concrete drawings, details and schedules with Blender 3D, Sverchok, GeoNodes. And other free and open source tools.
Hope it is usefull. Tell me if is not.
Life is short. Automate!

The fastest way to draw in Blender 3D a stirrup array using GeoNodes:

1. Load a dxf with the shape of the stirrup. Or any other shape. Or draw it in Blender.
2. Draw a reference line - Bezier Curve for example.
3. Open the geometry nodes.
4. Make points on the line - you have the option to input the number of the points or the distance between the points.
5. Load the shape of the stirrup and make it a mesh (to make it a 3D object)
6. Instace it on every point from the line.
7. Rotate it to allign to the plane that you need.

Nortikin Nikitron - wrote to tell me that he opened sourced a script that can export the blender 3D - sverchok geometry to dxf format.

So I woke up this morning, installed the Python addon azdxf, downloaded the script, loaded it in a script node lite, connected the geometry from my yesterday video, and ... Tears of joy!
Nice one! Thank you verry much!
I made a video with my first try.
Do you mind sharing some of the files for perusal. We could learn from it. Thanks in advance.
Hello!
I will make some small tutorials in the future that will come with the files.
In this video I present a full adaptive RC Beam reinforcement drawing using Blender 3D and Sverchok.
With the control from parameters of the:
Awesome job Ionut!
Thank you!
Hello. Why not use sverchok 3d panel in tools? And also list input node for that beam parameters.
Thanks for your videos
With welcome! Is good fun!
Thank you for the tips and tricks!
I'm still learning what Sverchok can do.
I saw that it is possible to make an UI with the Sverchok tab in tools. I'm gonna use it next time.
I may DM you some questions in the future, if I may.
I have implemented the Nikitron tips in this video - RC Foundation Beam - after the same principles from the previous video.
