As you modify the 3D model, the cutting lists and schedules update in real-time, drastically reducing human error during the documentation phase. 4. Custom Component Identification
: Offers extended 2D view types, including the ability to reverse bending directions in slabs and walls or toggle visibility of specific mesh elements.
: Automatically generate accurate cutting lists for rebars and meshes, including parameters for iron chair elements. ID Handling Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 26
Detailed technical instructions are available in the Eptar Reinforcement User Guide .
Catch conflicts between reinforcement bars, MEP lines, and structural steel before reaching the construction site. As you modify the 3D model, the cutting
: Users can automatically place reinforcement in simple profiled beams and columns using dedicated complex elements like rf_beam and rf_column .
On the positive side, users consistently praise its ability to produce high-quality reinforcement deliverables with minimal effort. One user on the Graphisoft Community Forum stated that while it may not be as robust as a dedicated solution like Rivet, they found it to be "very useful quality and presentation with minimal effort," successfully using it on a 24,000-square-foot house. Another review confirmed that the add-on "provided me with all the steel work detail that I needed," strongly recommending that others "give it a try however use the one for Archicad 26" to ensure compatibility. Another user, a civil engineer, highlighted that a key advantage is the ability to visualize the planned rebars in 3D instantly and edit them on the 3D surface if needed. : Automatically generate accurate cutting lists for rebars
The tool checks and corrects rebar ID numbering to ensure accuracy in schedules.
Before modeling, set up your project preferences:
Generate 2D reinforcement plans, section views, and detail drawings directly from the 3D model using standard Archicad documentation tools. Who is it For?
