Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 27

Version 5.0 and newer (up to 6.1) introduced several refinements for modern Archicad workflows:

: Marketed as a "cheap and easy-to-use" alternative to full-scale structural engineering suites for detailing tasks.

EPTAR Reinforcement is a specialized add-on developed to extend Archicad’s native modeling capabilities into structural engineering. While Archicad excels at spatial design and architectural modeling, it lacks robust built-in tools for complex, parametric rebar detailing. EPTAR fills this gap by introducing dedicated tools for defining, placing, and listing reinforcement steel for concrete elements. Key Features in Archicad 27 eptar reinforcement for archicad 27

The is the primary way to create a detailed table of reinforcement directly on your floor plan or layout.

Automated lists save hours of manual counting and spreadsheet entry. Visualization Version 5

3D rebar helps identify collisions before they reach the construction site. Standardization

The integration with ArchiCAD 27’s "Publisher" suite allows Eptar to export reinforcement lists directly to Excel or PDF. The new algorithm calculates weight (kg/m) based on the precise diameter (from 6mm to 50mm) and provides a total tonnage per structural element. EPTAR fills this gap by introducing dedicated tools

: Use the Reinforcement palette to select objects (columns, beams, slabs) and define the rebar parameters. Documentation
