# Alignments

Non-symmetrical bars and profile bars are generated by the HRB module in a specific orientation. That means the start of the bar is not arbitrary; rather, these bars have a defined orientation depending on their position and location within the wall. The reason for this lies in the orientation of profiled components. These can only be entered correctly if the orientation of the bars follows the table below. Therefore, the program automatically generates the bars and profile bars in this orientation.

In version 19.02 the orientation of inclined bars and profile bars at openings (lintel rails) was changed. Previously, for a pointed window the left rail had been generated from left to right and the right rail from right to left. Now all bars at inclined opening edges are generated from left to right.
