How to use mesh reinforcement / BRC for slab design

To use mesh reinforcement / BRC for slab design, these are the steps :
  1. In Building Analysis menu > Edit Materials > Slabs > Pick a Fabric Rebar 

  2. Click Rebar Diameters  and choose the diameter to be used in the design


  3. Click Slab Analysis and Design  > Slab Strip Design (Batch Mode)

    Perform a 
    "Delete and Re-select All Bars” design.
Please note that slab strips must be created before running Slab Analysis and Design
