Hi All, @c.poupin
Using the attached script, I’m trying to create longitudinal rebars (top_rebar and btm_rebar) and stirrups for each beam in an intersecting beam network.
After creation, the longitudinal rebars should be constrained to the stirrups and stacked vertically so that they do not overlap or penetrate each other at intersection points or supports. This is ensured by checking whether a beam is oriented as “principal” (dir_flag == True) or “secondary” (dir_flag == False).
The longitudinal rebars must then be spliced using splice_rebar() whenever their length exceeds 12.00 m.
I initially tested splice_rebar() in a separate script that only creates the longitudinal rebars (top_rebar and btm_rebar) for each beam. In this test, I deliberately omitted the stirrups, so no stacking rules were applied. All rebars were spliced as expected.
However, when I ran the main script, in which splice_rebar() is called as the final step after the rebars have been successfully constrained, I noticed that only the longitudinal rebars (top_rebar and btm_rebar) belonging to “secondary” beams (dir_flag == False) were successfully spliced.
For the rebars belonging to “principal” beams (dir_flag == True), splicing fails, and an empty list is returned for these rebars, as shown in the output below, even though result.Error == RebarSpliceByRulesError.Success for all rebars, and this is confirmed by the second output below.

I’m therefore having trouble identifying the root cause of this behavior!?
Please check the attached script and Revit model below:
Remark: The script is too long to post here due to the forum’s character limit, so please refer to the attached file

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
