# Beam Reinforcement Workflow

1. Make sure you have Rebar Shapes in your model. They should be visible in your Project Browser:

If you don't have them, load them from Library

2. Prepare **Rebar Configuration** for selected beam section.

First define Main rebar settings, then Stirrups. Stirrups will be tied around the main rebar.

3. Assign configurations to Structural Framing Types by using **Beam Link**.

4. Select Structural Framing(s) with the Type used in Beam Link, and use **Create Rebar** command. It will read from the Beam Link which reinforcement configuration should be used and will then create rebar.
