Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 27

Eptar Reinforcement for Archicad 27 is a specialized BIM add-on designed for architects and civil engineers to create detailed 3D reinforcement models and 2D documentation within the Archicad environment. It

3. Activation

• Look for an Eptar toolbar or menu under Options → Reinforcement.
• Enter license key (usually USB dongle or online activation).

4. Basic Workflow (generic)

1. Create structural element – Column, beam, slab, wall, or foundation.
2. Open Eptar panel – Usually in Design → Eptar Reinforcement.
3. Select reinforcement type – Stirrups, longitudinal bars, mesh, or custom cage.
4. Set cover – Concrete cover (bottom, top, sides).
5. Define bar properties – Diameter, grade, spacing, hooks.
6. Generate 3D rebar – Click “Place reinforcement” – bars appear in 3D/2D.
7. Schedules – Use Eptar’s bar bending schedule tool.

1. Parametric Rebar Sets for Seismic Zones

ArchiCAD 27 improved its handling of IFC structural attributes. Eptar uses this to automatically differentiate between standard hook lengths, seismic crossties, and lap splices. You can now define a "Seismic Zone 4" preset, and Eptar will apply the ACI 318-19 or Eurocode 2 rules automatically to every beam and column. eptar reinforcement for archicad 27
