Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 26 Review

Graphisoft has built a solid concrete modeling foundation. Eptar builds the rebar cage inside it—bar by bar, bend by bend, reliably and intelligently.

In the world of BIM, reinforcement detailing has long been the uncomfortable stepchild of architectural modeling. Architects push geometry; structural engineers calculate loads; but the person who has to bend, cut, place, and schedule the rebar? They are often left with disconnected 2D details, manual takeoffs, and the silent dread of a clash between a #8 bar and an MEP sleeve. Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 26
