Eptar | Reinforcement For Archicad 27 Updated !!top!!

The Eptar Reinforcement add-on has been updated for compatibility with Archicad 27, specifically reaching version 5.0.7 and later. This update ensures civil engineers and architects can continue collaborating on 3D reinforcement models within the latest Archicad environment. Key Features in the Archicad 27 Update

Beam & Column Enhancements: New capabilities for the beam tool (first seen in v4.0) allow for multiple stirrup groups with varied spacing and easier rebar geometry modification via 3D hotspots. eptar reinforcement for archicad 27 updated

4. Enhanced Rebar Shape Library (BS 8666 & ACI 315)

The update includes over 50 new parametric bending shapes compatible with the latest BS 8666:2020 and ACI 315-20 standards. You can now preview shapes in 3D within the settings dialog before placement. The Eptar Reinforcement add-on has been updated for

The connection between the 3D model and the schedules is more dynamic, instantly updating lists when a 3D element is modified. 3. Native Archicad 27 Optimization What this means: No more floating, laggy windows

  1. Use native Archicad 27 Reinforcement – it now handles complex rebar geometries, lapping, and numbering, often eliminating the need for EPTAR.
  2. Check the official EPTAR website or developer’s page – as of late 2025, there were discussions of a possible “EPTAR Next” for Archicad 28+, but not for version 27.
  3. Consider other third‑party tools like:

    Advanced Core Recognition: The tool now identifies structural core definitions in slabs, ensuring reinforcement is only placed where physically required by the engineering specifications.

    Why Upgrade from EPTAR 26 to EPTAR 27?

    You might be thinking: My current EPTAR 26 works fine with ArchiCAD 26. Do I need to pay for the upgrade?
