RebarX by CIVANTA.

Register once, download the offline application, and work from your own device. BBS and project data are intended to remain local—not stored in CIVANTA cloud. Smart drawing import is designed for machine-readable BIM/CAD/vector drawings, with manual parametric BBS as the dependable fallback.

PRIVACY MODEL

Your project data stays on your device.

The planned registration/licensing service only needs account and activation information. Drawings, BBS schedules, quantities and project files are intended to remain in the local RebarX database unless the user explicitly exports or shares them.

SMART DRAWING PARSER

Parse what the drawing actually contains.

RebarX should not claim that ordinary OCR can understand every structural drawing. The smart workflow is for machine-readable digital drawings where text, vectors and geometry can be analysed. Raster/scanned drawings fall back to manual BBS entry.

SMART IMPORT ELIGIBLE

Machine-readable digital drawings

  • Revit-exported vector PDF
  • DWG / DXF CAD drawings with usable entities and text
  • Vector PDF with selectable text, dimensions and linework
  • Structured schedules/tables embedded as digital text
  • Simple structured XLSX BBS table — direct cell extraction, not image OCR
MANUAL / ASSISTED FALLBACK

Raster or unstructured drawings

  • Scanned PDF
  • Photograph of a drawing
  • Screenshot / flattened image
  • Hand-drawn sketch
  • Low-quality raster drawing without reliable geometry/text
Important: software licence status does not determine whether RebarX can parse a drawing. The key factor is whether the exported file is machine-readable and contains usable vector/text/geometry information.

This checker demonstrates the product logic; it does not parse an uploaded drawing on this public page.

SMART XLSX IMPORT

Excel schedule in. BBS rows out.

A simple structured .xlsx workbook can be read directly from its cells. This is not image OCR: RebarX extracts machine-readable Excel values locally and converts valid rows into BBS records.

Recommended workflow

Download the RebarX XLSX model → fill Bar Mark, Member, Dia, Nos., Shape Code and A–J → import it into the offline preview → verify → save locally.

INCLUDED MODEL

RebarX_XLSX_BBS_Model.xlsx

Includes BBS_Input, Shape_Master and Instructions sheets, shape-code dropdowns, diameter dropdowns and formula columns for Cut Length, Unit Weight and Total Weight.

DEPENDABLE FALLBACK

Manual parametric BBS stays available.

When smart import cannot confidently identify a bar, RebarX should request Shape Code + A/B/C/D/E/F… and calculate from verified inputs rather than guessing.

Core entry order

Bar Mark → Member → Diameter → Nos. → Shape Code → Shape Diagram → A–J → Cutting Length → Unit Weight → Total Weight.

Run the sample BBS calculation.
Preview geometry only. Final RebarX engineering rules must use verified shape definitions, bends/hooks/laps/development-length logic and approved structural detailing.
