Calculation and theoprac (columns and beams)

This group contains switches for checks that can be applied during design and drawing of reinforcement.

Check min. bar distance	Check for minimal distance of bars during design and drawing.
Check max. bar distance	Check for maximal distance of bars during design and drawing.
