Works directly inside the Archicad interface using standard object settings.
The integration of Eptar Reinforcement within ArchiCAD 26 represents a critical intersection between architectural design and structural engineering. Developed by Éptár Kft , this add-on transforms ArchiCAD from a primary architectural tool into a comprehensive BIM environment capable of managing complex structural detailing. Core Functionality and BIM Integration
Click generate to build the 3D geometry. Switch to the 3D window or use Archicad 26's physical rendering engine to visually inspect the cages. Use Archicad’s native tool to ensure the rebar does not intersect with MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) penetrations or anchor bolts. Step 4: Documentation and Detailing
The core strength of Eptar Reinforcement lies in its parametric nature. Unlike manual drafting, where every bar must be drawn individually, Eptar uses "intelligent objects" that understand the geometry of their host elements. Automated Detailing:
Establish a clear numbering and marking system early in the project. Consistent labeling makes managing revisions significantly easier as the design progresses. Conclusion
