Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 26 _top_ < EXTENDED · MANUAL >
Graphisoft has built a solid concrete modeling foundation. Eptar builds the rebar cage inside it—bar by bar, bend by bend, reliably and intelligently.
And in the world of reinforcement detailing, that feeling—of control without clutter—is worth more than any single feature. is available through the Graphisoft Add-On Store and select regional resellers. Supports Archicad 26 (full commercial and educational versions). Pricing is per-seat perpetual license with annual maintenance options. Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 26
Additionally, Archicad 26’s improved export means reinforcement modeled with Eptar can be shared with Revit users (via Solibri or Navisworks) without geometry loss. For mixed-firm projects, that interoperability is no longer a promise—it’s a delivered feature. Real-World Case: Reinforcing a Complex Ramp Structure Consider a parking garage ramp—curved in plan, variable in thickness, with a central expansion joint. Using native Archicad tools, a detailer might spend 2–3 days placing bars manually, adjusting each radius, and checking clashes with drain sleeves.

Enter —not an incremental update, but a quiet declaration that reinforcement detailing can be as intelligent, parametric, and collaborative as the rest of the Archicad ecosystem. is available through the Graphisoft Add-On Store and
For the structural draftsman, the detailing engineer, or the BIM manager tired of "rebarbative" workflows, Eptar 26 offers something rare: power without complexity. Let’s be honest: Archicad’s native reinforcement tools are competent for simple beams and columns. But push them toward a complex footing, a tapered retaining wall, or a slab with variable thickness and penetrations, and the cracks appear. Manually placing each bar, adjusting cover, managing shape codes, and ensuring schedules update when the architectural model shifts—it’s a time tax.
In the world of BIM, reinforcement detailing has long been the uncomfortable stepchild of architectural modeling. Architects push geometry; structural engineers calculate loads; but the person who has to bend, cut, place, and schedule the rebar? They are often left with disconnected 2D details, manual takeoffs, and the silent dread of a clash between a #8 bar and an MEP sleeve.
