Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 26 ((full))
For structural engineers working in an architectural-led BIM environment, this add-on eliminates the need to export models to external structural software (like Tekla or Revit Structure) for simple detailing tasks. It keeps the structural data "live" within the Archicad project file (.pln).
Éptár Reinforcement for Archicad 26 transforms Archicad from an architectural design tool into a fully capable structural detailing platform. By automating the creation of 3D steel cages, drafting precise 2D views, and exporting automated cutting lists, it eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional 2D drafting. Investing in this add-on saves time, minimizes field errors, and unlocks the full potential of collaborative OpenBIM.
: Export data tables directly to Microsoft Excel or Archicad's native interactive schedules. 3. Supported Structural Elements
The software eliminates the need to export models to external 2D CAD programs just for detailing. Instead, you can define complex rebar layouts inside native Archicad objects like walls, beams, columns, and slabs. Key Features in the Archicad 26 Version Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 26
: Places upper and lower mesh reinforcement, including custom openings or structural drop panels.
Support for special detailing elements like iron chairs for slab reinforcement. Why Use Eptar Reinforcement in Archicad 26?
: Users can automatically place reinforcement in simple profiled beams and columns using dedicated complex elements like rf_beam and rf_column . For structural engineers working in an architectural-led BIM
The primary draw for engineering firms is automation. Eptar Reinforcement for Archicad 26 automates the creation of reinforcement drawings.
While some users find the update process slightly "tedious," many professional designers highlight its high-quality presentation and minimal effort required for complex detailing, such as large-scale residential projects. For more information, you can explore the Eptar Reinforcement 4.0 Tutorial or visit the official Eptar CAD Support page for current versions and downloads.
As you modify the 3D model, the cutting lists and schedules update in real-time, drastically reducing human error during the documentation phase. 4. Custom Component Identification By automating the creation of 3D steel cages,
The software automates repetitive tasks. It updates structural elements dynamically when the architectural model changes. This workflow ensures that designs remain accurate from the initial concept to the construction site. Key Features in the Archicad 26 Version
who want to remain within the Archicad ecosystem for detailing.
