The "Create crossing rebars" tool creates rebar sets allocated perpendicularly to the plane, indicated by the user. The plane is to be indicated by selecting a point at a definite side of the concrete object.
It is important to mention that there is a distinct difference between

Moving the starting point of the bar groups distribution interval (guidelines) does not create the bar groups out of the concrete object's body. This characteristic is valid only when manipulating the location of the distribution interval (guidelines) points.
However, it is possible to change the shape of the reinforcing bars, by manipulating their points and placing them beyond the concrete object's boundary.

Examine the "Start offset" and "End offset" parameters.

The present Tekla Structure version is not available on the “ Create crossing rebars ” tool. |
Thus the first bar group shifted at 500 mm from the starting point of
Also, the parameter can be configured by one of the drop-down options
Setting out the offset value at the "Exact" option shifts the bar group at the exact offset value indicated by the user. Setting out the offset value at the "Minimum" option shifts the bar group at the offset value indicated and adds up to it an additional offset to compensate for the remaining distance from spacing.

Set out the "Length" parameter as "Absolute" and indicate the value of 500 mm. Thus all the values indicated in the "Spacing properties" section are ignored, as contradicting the absolute length of the bars distribution interval.
Switching absolute value to relative allows inverting the bars' distribution

The present Tekla Structure version is not available on the “ Create crossing rebars ” tool. |
Thus we can conclude that the real bars' distribution interval can not exceed the concrete object's overall dimensions. Note that the absolute length value ignores the starting and the end offset parameters. The spacing between bars is defined by the corresponding field. The number of spaces is automatically defined in a way not to allow reinforcing bars to be located out of the concrete object's body. Thus there is no need to write any value into this field.

The present Tekla Structure version is not available on the “ Create crossing rebars ” tool. |
However, if there is a requirement for a certain number of spaces and the spacing value, then switch to the "Exact" value of the "Number of spaces" and indicate the respective values. Exercise indicating the number of spaces as 3, and the spacing of 200 mm.

Bring back the length value to "Absolute" and indicate the value equal to 1000mm. Set the "Number of spaces" at "Target". Now, the TS ignores the number of spaces parameter and calculates the quantity of the bar groups in a way to fit as many bar groups as possible, considering the spacing mentioned and the length value indicated.

As you can see in the below picture, the bar groups have covered the overall dimensions of the concrete object. The tool works correctly for chamfers. However, it does not consider the cuts inside the concrete object's body. Thus we will conclude that using this tool is relevant only for shapes not containing internal cuts.
