Archicad 27 [upd] — Eptar Reinforcement For

This approach stops the common "BIM bottleneck," where reinforcement detailing is typically done in separate 2D CAD or other software, breaking information continuity and creating risks of errors and missed deadlines.

Eptar won't place bars in a curved wall.

EPTAR Reinforcement is a dedicated add-on and object library designed to operate within ArchiCAD 23 and all subsequent versions, including ArchiCAD 27. The solution was developed to support civil engineers who want to work entirely within the ArchiCAD BIM ecosystem. It transforms ArchiCAD from a purely architectural modeling tool into a robust platform capable of delivering fully detailed structural information. eptar reinforcement for archicad 27

The tool focuses on three primary areas: 3D modeling, 2D documentation, and automated scheduling.

In the world of Building Information Modeling (BIM), the gap between architectural visualization and structural reality is often bridged by reinforcement detailing. For architects and structural engineers using Graphisoft ArchiCAD, the name has become synonymous with intelligent, automated rebar detailing. With the release of ArchiCAD 27, the integration of Eptar reinforcement tools has reached a new zenith of efficiency. This approach stops the common "BIM bottleneck," where

: Create accurate, localized schedules and iron lists for manufacturing and cost estimation. Variable Shapes

Manually drawing complex shapes around openings is prone to errors. EPTAR automatically detects windows, doors, and custom slab voids, wrapping the necessary reinforcement meshes and edge bars around them effortlessly. 4. Comprehensive Scheduling and Bill of Materials (BOM) The solution was developed to support civil engineers

: Automatically inserts complex rebar and stirrup configurations into rectangular columns, beams, and crownings.

: Support for manual reinforcement in non-rectangular shapes such as trapezoids, circles, or custom polygons using "Polygon" type rebar objects.
