Reinforcement lists can now be assigned to specific, dedicated layers for better model management. Why Use Eptar Reinforcement in Archicad 27?
Éptár Reinforcement is a dedicated add-on built to simplify concrete reinforcement detailing within Graphisoft Archicad. It allows users to draw, place, and manage reinforcement bars (rebars), stirrups, and meshes natively.

EPTAR Reinforcement is a dedicated add‑on for Graphisoft Archicad that enables users to create fully parametric 3D reinforcement models directly inside the BIM workflow. Rather than relying on external 2D drafting tools or cumbersome workarounds, the solution provides a complete environment for reinforcing concrete elements and generating all associated documentation – from detailed 2D drawings to accurate bar bending schedules and quantity take‑offs.
A major strength of the EPTAR add-on has always been its adherence to local building codes, particularly in Central and Eastern European markets where reinforcement standards (like Eurocode variations) can be rigorous and specific. The update for Archicad 27 ensures that the libraries and schedule templates are current with the latest standards. This reduces the manual workload for engineers who previously had to manually adjust schedules to meet specific formatting requirements. By embedding these standards directly into the Archicad 27 environment, EPTAR reduces the risk of human error in documentation, ensuring that the "I" in BIM—Information—remains accurate and compliant. Reinforcement lists can now be assigned to specific,
Operating systems compatible with Archicad 27 (Windows 10/11 or macOS, including native support for Apple Silicon).
If you’ve ever manually repositioned rebars after a structural beam changes slope, you’ll appreciate this. It’s not just parametric; it’s . It allows users to draw, place, and manage
The updated listing capabilities represent a major leap forward:
Standardization is key to error-free construction. The updated version includes a revamped bend library that adheres strictly to and Eurocode 2 EN 1992-1-1 updates.
Furthermore, the visualization capabilities have been optimized. Archicad 27 boasts improved graphics engines, and EPTAR has updated its rendering to match. This allows for clearer 3D visualization of rebar congestion, helping engineers identify collision points between reinforcement and other structural elements (such as post-tensioning ducts or embeds) before they become costly on-site errors.
