I made a a little family that is a pad footing with pedestal on top of it. Everything works great, but I've tried adding rebar to it in a project, and it only lets me add the rebar to the pad footing, and won't give any placement option when I move over the pedestal. My family is set to Structural Foundations, my material shows up as cast in place concrete under materials, and "concrete" under the Family Categories and Parameters in the Family Editor. It seems like it should be able to host rebar, particularly when 1 of the 2 extrusions in the family will. I'm trying to place the rebar in a section view in a project and the section does cut through both footing and pedestal. None of the shapes will place in the pedestal under any of the 3 placement orientations.
I'm stumped. I keep thinking there must be some setting or checkbox that I'm missing, but I can't find anything. Already gone through my Mastering Revit book and several other Revit pages looking for answers. Any ideas??

Wile you are attempting to place your rebar, is you section cut directly through the pedestal and its view range ending within it as well. I have had a similar issue. Try that first.

Yeah, that sounded reasonable, but I just checked, and the section was already cut with a very shallow view range, starting and stopping well inside the pedestal.
I ended up just placing detail component rebar in my section view, but I would still like someday to be able to tie my footing/pedestal reinforcing to my schedule on my details sheet. Is it even possible to add rebar into the family, so that it comes into the project with the rebar already in place? The rebar commands don't even show up in the family editor as far as I can see. I have my pedestal/footing family set up so each type matches up with my pedestal and footing marks (i.e. P1 pedestal and F1 footing, P2/F2, etc). Our schedule normally shows the rebar for each pedestal and footing mark, so it would speed things up if I could incorporate a rebar layout into the family and then have those parameters tied to the schedule. Right now, I just have a text field in my family with a description on the reinforcing that then shows up in the schedule, which works as far as making the schedule look like it did in Autocad. I'm just wondering if I can take advantage of the material estimation and scheduling abilities better.
