Column Reinforcement Layout

Is there a specific reason that we are unable to test variable reinforcement layouts for columns in S-Concrete? The functionality exists for beams already so it seems like it would be fairly straightforward to implement. Just curious if there is a reason that it is locked to the same uniform bar size for all bars, I have had cases where I have to run the trial column as a beam in order to have different bar sizes in the corners.

    Hello, Luceid,

     

    Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, the different bar sizes for different layer features are not available for columns at this stage. If you work with this function often, we could certainly discuss it with the development team for future consideration.
