You need to add an image to the bar shape families. The images will only show on sheets/prints.

Hi There

Thanks for response mate. Please go through video given below. Specially watch video from minutes 8:00 to 9:30. As per your suggestion we can obtain shape of standard shape only. Please suggest what to do for custom shapes.

Perhaps a workflow similar to this one would work - automate the creation of a legend view for each rebar shape, export each legend view as an image, load the images and set the rebar’s parameter values, then remove the legends:

EDIT: Apologies, I hadn’t realized rebar shapes could not function as legend components. I’d imagine, however, you could do something where you automate the creation of an isolated axonometric view for one instance of each rebar shape and export that view as an image

Hi Awilliams

Thanks for response. It would be great if you can provide me any example how to create view for rebar as i am new at Dynamo. Also i am mere a civil engineer and not a programmer so not much familiar with coding.
