The real test came on Monday. My client wanted to move a skylight 80 cm to the left.
The add-on provides a comprehensive library of objects and automated tools to handle complex concrete constructions: eptar reinforcement for archicad 19
The structural engineer, a crusty guy named Roberto who still used AutoCAD R14, stared at my screen. “That’s… alive,” he whispered. The real test came on Monday
By mastering the tips, workflows, and troubleshooting steps outlined in this guide, you will extract maximum value from Eptar Reinforcement on Archicad 19, ensuring your concrete detailing remains accurate, efficient, and professional—even a decade after its initial release. “That’s… alive,” he whispered
For circular or rectangular columns, Eptar offers a "Column Wizard." You can model longitudinal bars (4, 6, or 8+ bars) and tie stirrups at variable pitches. A standout feature in is the ability to add spiral reinforcement —something Archicad’s native tools couldn’t handle without heavy GDL scripting.
I printed the 3D PDF from ArchiCAD 19’s new PDF export (another feature I had ignored until then). Roberto took it to the rebar factory. The foreman called me an hour later: “Usually we get flat drawings with 50 conflicts. This file has bending schedules and a 3D view. We can bend the #6 bars tomorrow morning.”
