EPTAR Reinforcement is a plugin developed by the Hungarian company Éptár Kft. For over a decade, the team at Éptár has focused on creating tools that bridge the gap between architectural design and structural engineering. With this add-on, users can create a true 3D parametric BIM model that includes not just the building's architecture but all of its structural steel, all within the ARCHICAD environment.

The alternative—drawing every rebar manually—is no longer viable in a competitive market. By automating lap lengths, bend radii, and tonnage calculations, Eptar allows you to focus on structural integrity rather than drafting errors.

: The plugin utilizes specialized complex elements ( rf_beam and rf_column ) to dynamically map and fill structural profiles with necessary stirrups and main rebar configurations.

Stop bending your workflow to fit the software. Let Eptar and ArchiCAD 27 bend the rebars for you.

The latest iteration of Eptar for ArchiCAD 27 is not just a compatibility patch; it is a feature upgrade. Here is what you can expect:

The interface features a completely overhauled floating tool palette that reduces workspace clutter. A new introduces graphical element marking alongside automated element ID validation. Designers can use a dedicated structural zoom function to locate specific rebars within complex models instantly. Advanced Rebar Numbering Control

, such as Distance Guides and enhanced Design Options. It transforms structural detailing from a secondary task into a core part of your 3D workflow.
