OOTB Rebar Bends

I'm wondering why Autodesk has used a formula to create the detail component versions of the Rebar bends, but when you go to model it, the rebar types have all been set to the same radius. Since they try to follow the AISC for shapes, why can't the follow CRSI for bar bends. Now anyone that wants to model rebar need to fix it.
It's things like this that just annoy me.
If there's a standard, why can't they just follow it?
It shouldn't take a person more than a day to enter all this info in. Now we all get to do it.

Rebar are comprised of 3 family definitions, Shape, Bar and Hook. The Shape defines the layout, the Bar defines the diameters and bend radii and the Hook define the hook layouts. All come together to define the instance. The default template should have all 3 sets defined for the installation local. In the US these are defined based on ACI/CRSI standards.

Hi Eric,
I believe the issue was fixed in 2010, but the info wasn't done in 2009. I think this is one of the things that was actually fixed. 1 down about 3420923 more to go.
