Abstract:
Detailing software that will solve the problems inherent in most currently available detailing software must meet three critical objectives. First, the software must be able to rapidly and accurately draw everything from scratch with minimal data input from the user. Second, bar dimensions and quantities must be generated by the computer, not the user. Third, design changes must be automatically tracked and reported. When released in late 2009, CMS--Rebar Detailer© will meet these objectives and dramatically increase both productivity and accuracy.
