Purpose

T-Rex is an open-source Grasshopper plugin, that can help you to create 3D models of reinforced concrete structures.

How it works?

Basically T-Rex can help you to model different rebars, which are represented by meshes, which allows real-time generation of model even for thousands of bars.
