This post focuses specifically on one of the ProStructures 'Detail Style' settings. Specifically we will be looking the Annotation area for rebar, in the 'Text Format' field.
When you hover over this field, if the tooltip option is enabled, a small pop-up will appear that lists many of the variables which can be used.
Some of the options that are available in ProConcrete however are not called out in this default tooltip. For this reason I've listed below the options that are not shown. These variables should work, if used properly, by placing them in the 'ProConcrete --> (Rebar/Stirrup/Mesh) --> Annotation' sections of the 'Detail Style'.
Component | ProConcrete | Common values |
Wi | $(Wi) | Nominal spacing in inches |
Wf | $(Wf) | Nominal spacing in feet (default) |
RWi | $(RWi) | Real spacing in inches |
RWf | $(RWf) | Real spacing in feet (default) |
MLi | $(MLi) | Length in inches |
MLf | $(MLf) | Length in feet (default) |
ML# | $(ML4) | Round off 1=1/2, 2=1/4, 3=1/8 etc. |
Mli,# | $(MLi4) | In inches, round off |
MLf,# | $(MLf4) | In feet, round off |
TLi | $(TLi) | Length in inches |
TLf | $(TLf) | Length in feet (default) |

With these options you should now be able to set the type of units (ft or inches) and round off the fractional measurements displayed.
