Preliminary beam concepts
Move from span line to readable beam concept.
BeamPilot helps visualise early reinforcement decisions; final design must remain with a qualified structural engineer.

Flexible main reinforcement
Use automatic, preset or manual tension-reinforcement choices during early design work.
Stirrup zones
Create uniform stirrups or denser support zones with configurable bar sizes.
Complete 3D bar layout
Generate main, top and side bars together with stirrups as organised model groups.
Tags and design notes
Keep reinforcement geometry organised and preserve relevant preliminary design information.
