The generated cutting lists are not just drawings; they are data-driven tables that allow for accurate material estimation, reducing waste on-site. 4. Improved 3D Visualization
Switch to Archicad’s 3D window. Use the "Wireframe" view style for concrete elements to inspect the steel cages. Run Archicad 26’s native engine to ensure structural rebar does not intersect with MEP penetrations, embedded items, or anchor bolts. Step 5: Generate the Cutting List eptar reinforcement archicad 26
See the exact spacing of rebar ties and meshes in 3D to identify clashes with structural cores or MEP systems before reaching the construction site. The generated cutting lists are not just drawings;
What (e.g., complex foundations, retaining walls, spiral columns) do you model most often? Use the "Wireframe" view style for concrete elements
The add-on offers complex reinforcement capabilities for walls. Users can select a wall and define parameters for mesh reinforcement, including diameter, quality, concrete cover, table size, and overlapping.
This document provides a broad, detailed guide for working with EPTAR reinforcement concepts and workflows in ARCHICAD 26 — covering terminology, modeling methods, reinforcement detailing, interoperability, documentation, and best practices. Assumptions: “EPTAR” refers to reinforcement engineering/standards or a proprietary reinforcement system; where EPTAR-specific tooling is unavailable in ARCHICAD, the guide maps its requirements onto ARCHICAD 26 native reinforcement and documentation features plus recommended add-ons and exchange workflows.
