How to check a RC column with specific reinforcement?

[smm.144]

Hi, I need to to design a column with 25 bars around it (6 bars on each edge) but I did not find any option for selecting longitudinal reinforcement pattern in reinforcement pattern dialog box.
I could draw them manually but this takes so much time(I have to insert coordinates of each bar). Is there any quick way for defining such column reinforcement? It is so easy to create such section in Etabs ..

Is this the only shape Robot can design?

Hi,

RSA 2011 brings a parametric definition of a column's reinforcement cage and run verification (insted of AutomaticDdesign),
You can also import a reinforced columns defined from Revit Structure and perform a code check in RSA.
