What kind of pile cap can be identified by Revit Extensions for reinforcement?

There is functionality in Revit Extensions that could add reinforcement to pile caps and piles, shown as below,

But you may find sometimes that the piles or pile caps can't be supported for reinforcement. Just like below image, from the geometry, category, structural material type settings, there is no any difference between them. But one can be identified by Revit Extensions, the other one yet cannot. What's the reason?

The reason for this is just because whether or not the nested piles are shared or not.

For the 2 pile cap families, the piles are created as nested family and then nested into the cap host. The only difference between them is:

So there is difference when adding reinforcement using Revit Extensions.

Free Webcast: Using Green Building XML (gbXML) for Sustainable Building Design - Part II

Autodesk and the Green Building XML (gbXML) Advisory Board invites you to attend a free webcast titled "Using Green Building XML (gbXML) for Sustainable Building Design - Part II" on January 21, 2010 at 10:00 to 11:00 am PST.

 

Presented by gbXML stakeholders, this webcast will demonstrate how tools for Building Information Modeling (BIM) can integrate with various analyses software, using the interoperability of gbXML to help create more sustainable building designs. Presentations and product demos will include the following:

 

Autodesk Revit Architecture, Autodesk Ecotect Analysis with Autodesk Green Building Studio

 

Graphisoft with Encina plug-in for gbXML

 

IES VE (Integrated Environmental Solutions Virtual Environment)

 

Trane Trace

 

Stephen Roth, Administrator of the gbXML Advisory Board and President of Carmelsoft will also discuss the current status of the gbXML and related activities.
