Hi Robert,
Did Dlubal ever find the fix for this?
I tried skipping setting rebar_diameter_auto_diameters_enabled = True, to see if then rebar_diameter_auto_diameters would work (I thought of trying this based off another issue I had and advice Tomas gave in the below forum RFEM6 API II PYTHON | NodalLoad with has_specific_direction - API & Interfaces - Dlubal Community) but that didn’t work.
I also tried a workaround of having an existing surface reinforcement with the correct usable diameters set in my template file which I copy and modify with the python api to automate the model, but I got the below error:
2025-09-05 10:58:12 [ERROR] infrastructure.rfem_api.foundation.rfem6_foundation - Error in foundation model creation: <_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with:
status = StatusCode.UNKNOWN
details = "Failed to update Surface Reinforcement No. 1. Modification of property projection_coordinate_system in Surface Reinforcement No. 1 is not allowed."
debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer {grpc_message:"Failed to update Surface Reinforcement No. 1. Modification of property projection_coordinate_system in Surface Reinforcement No. 1 is not allowed.", grpc_status:2, created_time:"2025-09-05T03:58:12.9298739+00:00"}"
So my attempted work around won’t work because I can’t modify the coordinate system of the reinforcement.
Thanks!
Samuel
