Auto Reinforcement
Rebar schedules from drawings.
Automatically.
Computer vision reads rebar notations, lengths, and spans from structural drawings and produces a complete reinforcement schedule. No manual notation counting, no Excel, far fewer errors.

- Upload the structural drawing set
- Vision reads notations, spans, and lengths
- AI compiles the complete schedule automatically
- Bar bending diagrams produced with the schedule
- Minutes per drawing instead of a full day
- Consistent results across every project
The most tedious task in estimating
Reinforcement scheduling is consistently cited as the single most time-consuming task in structural estimating.
An estimator has to read rebar notations from structural drawings, measure every span, calculate every length, identify position and radius, then compile a complete schedule in Excel. One large drawing can take a full day. A typical project has dozens of drawings.
Auto Reinforcement Plugin automates this entirely: computer vision reads the drawing, AI generates the schedule, no manual steps required.
How It Works
Auto Reinforcement reads your structural drawings and builds the rebar schedule step by step. Hover any step to see what it does.
Upload Drawing
Upload the structural drawing in PDF or image format. The system supports complex layouts with overlapping reinforcement details.
Notation Identification
Our vision model scans and parses all rebar notation standards including diameter, bar count, and steel grade.
Measurement Extraction
The system calculates span lengths, clear covers, hooks, bends, and spatial distributions automatically.
Schedule Generation
AI agents compile the complete reinforcement schedule with bar bending diagrams and material weights.
Factory Integration
Exports the cutting schedule in formats ready for fabricator cutting and bending machinery.
Five steps, start to finish
From a structural drawing to a finished, weighted rebar schedule in five automated steps.
Get started in days, not weeks.
Your workflow shouldn't take forever to fit in.
Auto Reinforcement integrates instantly with your existing design suite. Just upload your files—PDFs, CAD images, and structural specs sync automatically.
No tech headaches, no long onboarding cycles. Just a plugin that feels like it’s always been part of your design workflow.

Quick Facts
Why choose Auto Reinforcement
Traditional Route
- A full day per large drawing
- Notations read and bars counted by hand
- Lengths, hooks, and bends calculated manually
- Transcription errors carried into the cutting schedule
- No consistency between estimators
Auto Reinforcement
- Minutes per drawing, fully automated
- Vision reads every rebar notation automatically
- Lengths, hooks, bends, and weights computed for you
- Bar bending diagrams generated with the schedule
- Consistent output across every project
Other Tools
- Generic OCR misreads structural rebar notation
- No bar bending diagrams or weight calculation
- Cannot interpret drawing conventions or bar marks
- Output still needs rebuilding by hand in Excel
Stop counting rebar by hand. Let the computer do it.
