Please Note: The below work is present in develop branch of Reinforcement workbench here
The Reinforcement Drawing tool allows the user to create drawing of reinforcing bars.
This command is part of the Reinforcement Addon, an external workbench that can be installed with the Addon Manager via the Tools → Addon manager → Reinforcement menu.
Drawing and dimensioning of reinforcing bars
1. Open FreeCAD Model containing reinforcement bars created using Reinforcement Addon.
2. In FreeCAD Python console, copy below code snippet to generate reinforcement drawing from different views for each Arch Structure element.
from ReinforcementDrawing.make_reinforcement_drawing import (
makeStructuresReinforcementDrawing,
)
for view in ("Front", "Rear", "Left", "Right", "Top", "Bottom"):
makeStructuresReinforcementDrawing(view=view)

-
Structure: The structure object acting as Host for rebars to be included in drawing.
-
Rebars: The list of rebar objects to be included in drawing.
-
View: The reinforcement drawing view to be generated. It can be "Front", "Rear", "Left", "Right", "Top" or "Bottom".
-
PositionType: The position type of Reinforcement Drawing on Template. It can be "Automatic" to calculate drawing placement using LeftOffset, TopOffset, MinRightOffset and MinBottomOffset OR "Custom" to set placement using X and Y.
-

-
RebarsColorStyle: The color style of rebars in Reinforcement Drawing svg. Set it to "Automatic" to automatically select rebars color OR "Custom" to choose shape color value from RebarsColor.
-
RebarsColor: The color of rebars in Reinforcement Drawing svg.
-
StructureStrokeWidth: The stroke width of structure in Reinforcement Drawing svg.
-
StructureColorStyle: The color style of structure in Reinforcement Drawing svg. Set it to "Automatic" to automatically select rebars color, "Custom" to choose shape color value from StructureColor OR "None" to not fill structure.
-
StructureColor: The color of structure in Reinforcement Drawing svg.
-
Template: The template for Reinforcement Drawing view.
-
Width: The width of Reinforcement Drawing view svg.
-
Height: The height of Reinforcement Drawing view svg.
-
LeftOffset: The left offset of Reinforcement Drawing view on template.
-
TopOffset: The top offset of Reinforcement Drawing view on template.
-
MinRightOffset: The minimum right offset of Reinforcement Drawing view on template.
-
MinBottomOffset: The minimum bottom offset of Reinforcement Drawing view on template.
-
MaxWidth: The maximum width of Reinforcement Drawing view.
-
MaxHeight: The maximum height of Reinforcement Drawing view.
-
VisibleRebars: The list of visible rebar objects in drawing view.
-
DimensionLeftOffset: The left offset for each new ReinforcementDimensioning object.
-
DimensionRightOffset: The right offset for each new ReinforcementDimensioning object.
-
DimensionTopOffset: The top offset for each new ReinforcementDimensioning object.
-
DimensionBottomOffset: The bottom offset for each new ReinforcementDimensioning object.

The Reinforcement Drawing tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following functions:
from ReinforcementDrawing.make_reinforcement_drawing import (
makeReinforcementDrawing,
)
reinforcement_drawing_page = makeReinforcementDrawing(
structure,
rebars_list,
view,
rebars_stroke_width,
rebars_color_style,
rebars_color,
structure_stroke_width,
structure_color_style,
structure_color,
drawing_left_offset,
drawing_top_offset,
drawing_min_right_offset,
drawing_min_bottom_offset,
drawing_max_width,
drawing_max_height,
template_file,
dimension_left_offset,
dimension_right_offset,
dimension_top_offset,
dimension_bottom_offset,
)
-
Creates a
ReinforcementDrawingView
object for given structure and rebar objects list. -
It returns the
reinforcement_drawing_page
of typeTechDraw::DrawPage
. -
view
specifies the view of drawing to be generated. It can be "Front", "Rear", "Left", "Right", "Top" or "Bottom". -
rebars_stroke_width
specifies the stroke-width of rebars in drawing svg. -
rebars_color_style
specifies the color style of rebars. Set it to "Automatic" to automatically select rebars color or "Custom" to choose shape color value from variablerebars_color
. -
rebars_color
specifies the fill color for rebars in drawing svg.
Format: (r, g, b) r, g, b value should be between 0 to 1, so you may need to divide value of r, g, b by 255 to get its value between 0 to 1 Make sure r, g, b must be float Example: (0.67, 0.0, 0.0)
-
structure_stroke_width
specifies the stroke-width of structure in drawing svg. -
structure_color_style
specifies the fill style of structure. Set it to "Automatic" to automatically select structure color or "Custom" to choose structure color value from variablestructure_color
. -
structure_color
specifies the fill color for structure in drawing svg. Format: (r, g, b) -
drawing_left_offset
specifies the left offset of drawing view ontemplate_file
. -
drawing_top_offset
specifies the top offset of drawing view ontemplate_file
. -
drawing_min_right_offset
specifies the minimum right offset of drawing view ontemplate_file
. -
drawing_min_bottom_offset
specifies the minimum bottom offset of drawing view ontemplate_file
. -
drawing_max_width
specifies the maximum width of drawing ontemplate_file
. -
drawing_max_height
specifies the maximum height of drawing ontemplate_file
. -
template_file
is the template file to be used for reinforcement drawing page. -
dimension_left_offset
specifies the left offset of dimension from drawing. -
dimension_right_offset
specifies the right offset of dimension from drawing. -
dimension_top_offset
specifies the top offset of dimension from drawing. -
dimension_bottom_offset
specifies the bottom offset of dimension from drawing.
