Revit API: Direction of rebar spacing (Python)

Question

I'm trying to multiply rebar in a slab using following methods:

(using Python script)

doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
RS = Autodesk.Revit.DB.Structure
RebarType = MyRebarType
slab = MySlab
norm = XYZ(0,0,1)
bar = MyCurve
n = MyQuantity
s2 = RebarSpacing
hook_type = None

rebar = RS.Rebar.CreateFromCurves(doc,RS.RebarStyle.Standard,RebarType,hook_type,hook_type,slab,norm,bar,RS.RebarHookOrientation.Right,RS.RebarHookOrientation.Left,True,True)
rebar.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.REBAR_ELEM_LAYOUT_RULE).Set(3)
rebar.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.REBAR_ELEM_QUANTITY_OF_BARS).Set(n)
rebar.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.REBAR_ELEM_BAR_SPACING).Set(s2)

The problem is that i cant define direction of my rebar spacing. It depends on rebar position in my slab. Here is an example of how this code creates rebars

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Just need to add one line: rebar.GetShapeDrivenAccessor().BarsOnNormalSide = True
