Has this been done? New to the whole db thing and I have created a few rebar sizes with pretty good luck, but just beginning. This particular db would be very useful and a huge time saver.

As a small token... if it is even a token as anyone could do this... I have attached a rebar db. Sizes 3-11, 14 & 18.

Cory,

Guess I am missing something... or am I?

The drawing I attached of the ideas I had for the isolated/spread footing were not meant as a "do this for me". I wanted to see if anyone had invented that wheel already.

I have been working on versions of it but I am not sure one block of all the elements is the way to go. I have created db's of the individual elements which I can place individually in a drawing to achieve the same affect. I was thinking that because I use this particular detail over and over again, that it would be a time saver to have the ability to change bar and footing sizes quickly...as a group. It's just a couple of extra clicks with the elements as individual elements.

I am in the process of creating "typicals" that I can use and modify as needed. My goal would be to accommodate the most often used.

Thanks.
