Archicad 26: Eptar Reinforcement
Developed by the BIM solutions specialist Éptár, this application is a powerful add-on accompanied by a robust library of parametric GDL objects. It is designed specifically to assist with the placement of reinforcing bars (rebars) and wire meshes within standard structural elements like walls, slabs, beams, and columns.
The dedicated rf_beam and rf_column objects allow users to automatically insert stirrups and main bars into rectangular or complex profiles with simple inputs.

Archicad 26 introduced optimized layer organizations. The add-on automatically groups all reinforcement-related layers into a dedicated "Reinforcement" folder rather than scattering them across the system.
Instead of drawing lines and 2D fills to represent steel rebars, users manipulate intelligent, parametric 3D elements. These elements accurately calculate lengths, bend angles, and overlap distributions automatically. Key Features in Archicad 26 Developed by the BIM solutions specialist Éptár, this
Click on a section of placed rebars to instantly generate a custom cutting list table directly on the floor plan or exportable to external formats. Step-by-Step: Reinforcing a Structure in Archicad 26 Reinforcement 7 - eptar.hu

If a wall has window or door openings, the add-on recognizes them, cuts the mesh where necessary, and allows for additional diagonal edge reinforcement placement.
Deploying Éptár Reinforcement on Graphisoft Archicad 26 grants access to several native optimizations and advanced capabilities:
Define structural core parameters on slabs. The tool handles custom-shaped floor plates and calculates edge distributions perfectly.
