If the length value is shown as zero in reports and inquiries, you need to define
the length in Rebar Shape Manager for each shape.
To define the length in Rebar Shape Manager :
1. In Bending schedule fields , right-click in the L cell and select SLL (Sum of

Using a formula
You can also use a formula in Rebar Shape Manager to calculate the
reinforcing bar total length.
You need to set
XS_USE_USER_DEFINED_REBAR_LENGTH_AND_WEIGHT and
XS_USE_USER_DEFINED_REBARSHAPERULES to TRUE Tools >
Options > Advanced Options... .
For example, to take the bending radius into account and to calculate the
length along the reinforcing bar outer surface, do the following:
1. In Bending schedule fields , right-click in the L cell and select (formula)
from the pop-up menu.
2. Enter the following formula for the length calculation: S1 + S2 +
2*3.14*(RS + DIA)*1/4
where
S1 = straight leg length 1 ( 406 )
S2 = straight leg length 2 ( 206 )
RS = rounding radius ( 30 )

Accuracy
The accuracy of reinforcing bar length is defined in the
rebar_config.inp file. The values can vary in each environment.
For example, the values shown below are from a rebar_config.inp file.
In the default environment the file is located in ..\ProgramData\Tekla
Structures\<version>\Environments\default\system\
folder.

The following settings define the accuracy and rounding for the leg lengths:
ScheduleDimensionRoundingAccuracy = 1.0
ScheduleDimensionRoundingDirection = "DOWN"
The following settings define the accuracy and rounding for the total
reinforcing bar length:
ScheduleTotalLengthRoundingAccuracy = 10.0
ScheduleTotalLengthRoundingDirection = "DOWN"
Note that also XS_USE_ONLY_NOMINAL_REBAR_DIAMETER affects
the reinforcing bar length calculation.

Hi!
I did as Sum of leg lengths (SLL)-guide, but the length is not correct, the legs
are 500+380+500, then the SLL-length must be L=1380, in the report is
shown as L=1320.
How do I fix this problem?
Thank you!
