Reinforcement Positioning

Recently I have been modelling some reinforcement in Revit. One annoyance I came across was when 2 bars are close to each other Revit moves one of them to eliminate the clash. Very annoying. I would prefer to be able to place all the reinforcement and then go through the whole model and decide which bars I want to move to eliminate clashes.

After a bit of trial an error I found that if you put the reinforcement into groups you can put the bars wherever you want and revit doesn't try to automatically move them. So I have been grouping bars based upon their shape:





This has the added benefit of being able to tweak a sets location by selecting the group and moving it.
