Eptar Reinforcement - For Archicad 27

If you have a project that must start in Archicad 27 immediately:

| Feature Category | Specific Capabilities | | :--- | :--- | | | 3D parametric rebars, automatic tools for beams/columns/slabs/walls/roofs, freeform/manual placement. | | Library & Objects | Pre-configured stirrups, rebars, meshes; custom polygonal shapes; complex element definitions (columns, beams, crownings). | | Automation | Automatic ID numbering & checking, automatic reinforcement for curved/slanted elements, automatic update indicator. | | Quantity & Lists | Automatic Bar Bending Schedules and Bill of Quantities (BOQ), listing by length and components. | | Technical Specs | 2D/3D view options, collision detection ready, dedicated ARCHICAD 27 layers, multi-layer bar placement. |

: It features automated tools to insert reinforcement into standard rectangular beams and columns. For non-standard shapes like trapezoids or circular columns, it provides manual editing options, including "Polygon" type rebars for custom geometries. eptar reinforcement for archicad 27

, such as Distance Guides and enhanced Design Options. It transforms structural detailing from a secondary task into a core part of your 3D workflow.

: Enhanced support for roof reinforcement (meshes and rebars in two directions), slanted walls, and accurate structural core definitions in slabs. If you have a project that must start

With the transition to ArchiCAD 27, Graphisoft introduced significant under-the-hood changes to the MEP and Structural Analytical Models. Eptar has adapted perfectly, leveraging the 64-bit architecture and improved graphics engine of AC27 to handle complex reinforcement meshes without lag.

The add-on generates detailed schedules, including shape, length, weight, and quantity, which can be placed directly onto floor plans. Benefits of Using EPTAR in Archicad 27 | | Quantity & Lists | Automatic Bar

Click to place the reinforcement. The add-on fills the element geometry with the specified rebar configuration. For complex boundaries, use the polygon definition tool to sketch custom reinforcement zones. Step 4: Documentation and Labels

Automating the reinforcement of common elements significantly reduces modeling time compared to manual 2D drafting.

If you are transitioning from a previous version or starting fresh, follow this workflow to maximize efficiency.
