is a specialized structural engineering add-on that enables architects and civil engineers to design, model, and document concrete reinforcement within the native Archicad environment. Compatible with Archicad 23 through 27, this tool bridges the gap between architectural modeling and structural detailing by allowing users to work on a single BIM model for both disciplines. Key Features and Capabilities
Let's explore what it is, its capabilities for ARCHICAD 27, the new features in version 5.0, and how it can transform your structural design workflow.
Integrating EPTAR Reinforcement into your Archicad 27 environment provides several distinct advantages:
Éptár Reinforcement add-on for Archicad 27 bridges the gap between architectural design and structural engineering by allowing users to model and document complex concrete reinforcement directly within their BIM environment. Key Features for Archicad 27 eptar reinforcement for archicad 27

: Lay down entire sheets of reinforcing mesh over slabs or throughout structural walls. The add-on manages concrete cover clearances, spacing intervals, and complex overlaps automatically. EPTAR REINFORCEMENT 4.0 | Tutorial
Because the reinforcement is modeled in true 3D, users can utilize Archicad 27’s native Collision Detection. This ensures rebars do not conflict with MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) pathways, structural steel bolts, or embedded items before sending files to the field. Benefits of the Éptár Workflow is a specialized structural engineering add-on that enables
: Automatically checks and corrects rebar ID numbering to prevent duplicates or errors.
To integrate Eptar Reinforcement with Archicad 27, follow these steps:
: Automatically calculates and adjusts reinforcement for new wall openings as they are added. Eptar Reinforcement provides a proven
For architects and structural engineers who need to deliver detailed, coordinated, and well-documented reinforced concrete designs entirely within ArchiCAD, Eptar Reinforcement provides a proven, time-saving solution that elevates the platform's BIM capabilities to a new level.
The Ultimate Guide to Éptár Reinforcement for Archicad 27 Archicad 27 offers robust tools for architectural design and Building Information Modeling (BIM). However, structural engineers and detailers often require specialized tools for concrete reinforcement. The Éptár Reinforcement add-on fills this gap perfectly. It bridges the divide between architectural design and complex structural engineering within a single workflow.
The release for Archicad 27 focuses on performance stability and better integration with Graphisoft's latest "Design Options" workflow. Design Option Compatibility
