Method

Description:

Remarks:
For this type of Free Form Rebar, the layout can be changed. The server identified by serverGUID will have the responsibility to create the curves for the specified layout. It requires a server GUID which will have the responsibility to define bar handles(which will be constrained) and to do the calculation of the curves. See IRebarUpdateServer for more details.
