Eptar Reinforcement Archicad: 26
Choose to use the automatic placement for standard shapes or the manual freehand method for custom geometries.
: The tool can automatically insert reinforcements into standard rectangular beams and columns. For more complex geometry (trapezoids or custom polygons), manual placement options are available.
For Beam-Column joints or wall corners where reinforcement overlaps, use the manual placement controls to adjust individual bar lengths, shift positions, and avoid collisions. Step 4: Generate Documentation eptar reinforcement archicad 26
Éptár Reinforcement is a specialized add-on developed by Éptár Ltd., designed specifically for Graphisoft Archicad. It allows architects and structural engineers to design, model, and declare reinforcement for concrete elements directly within the BIM environment.
The Éptár Reinforcement add-on transforms Archicad 26 into a comprehensive ecosystem capable of handling complex structural concrete detailing. By automating the tedious aspects of reinforcement modeling and drafting, it empowers architects and engineers to focus on design accuracy, clash detection, and efficient project delivery. Whether you are modeling a simple residential foundation or a complex multi-story commercial concrete frame, this tool brings precision and speed to your structural BIM workflow. Choose to use the automatic placement for standard

On the Reinforcement palette, locate and click the "Slab" icon. This action will open the Slab Reinforcement Settings window. For Beam-Column joints or wall corners where reinforcement
Instead of relying on external 2D CAD drafting tools for rebar detailing, the add-on introduces smart GDL objects and automated placement tools. This ensures that your 3D model contains accurate structural data, preventing clashes on the construction site. Key Features in the Archicad 26 Version
Place the reinforcement within the concrete construction, either using automated options or freehand methods.
