The interface features a completely overhauled floating tool palette that reduces workspace clutter. A new introduces graphical element marking alongside automated element ID validation. Designers can use a dedicated structural zoom function to locate specific rebars within complex models instantly. Advanced Rebar Numbering Control
The latest versions of the tool (version 5.0 and above) bring specific enhancements tailored for the modern Archicad workflow: Automated Reinforcement
Open the EPTAR Reinforcement settings dashboard. Here, you can define your project-wide structural parameters: Steel grades and strength classes Standard rebar diameters (e.g., Φ8, Φ12, Φ16) eptar reinforcement for archicad 27
Deploying the add-on within a standard Archicad 27 project follows a logical, step-by-step process.
: Includes specific elements like RF_CHAIR (iron chairs) and spiral stirrups that are included in the automated cutting lists. The interface features a completely overhauled floating tool
One user, Zoltán Lengl, a certified structural designer, praised the tool's ability to "greatly contribute to the detailed, visually appealing, and easily comprehensible creation of structural plans for monolithic reinforced concrete structures." He highlighted the advantage of being able to "effortlessly visualize the planned rebars in 3D with just one click" and noted that the ability to "calculate, summarize, list, modify, and independently display the quantities of reinforcement simplifies and significantly speeds up the preparation of structural plans".
: Fully supports Archicad 27 and utilizes Archicad's network-key licensing system. Advanced Rebar Numbering Control The latest versions of
: Users can place and check the positioning of rebars and meshes in a full 3D view to identify potential collisions or design errors before construction. Intelligent Documentation : Generates comprehensive Cutting Lists
