Auto align rebars with slab edges - Dynamo script

Trying to model rebars along a non-uniform slab edge ?

This script helps you effortlessly align rebars with the non-uniform slab edges with just two clicks.

How the script works:

1. The script loops through each rebar in the set.

2. It projects a reference intersection ray parallel to each rebar.

3. Using the ReferenceIntersector.FindNearest() method, the script identifies the nearest slab face.

4. Next, the distance between the rebar's current location and the slab face intersection point is calculated.

5. Finally, the script moves the rebar by this calculated distance (factoring in cover and any additional offset).
