EPTA (or similar names like Epta Steel or Epta Reinforcement) is a tool for automated rebar detailing in ArchiCAD. If that's what you mean, interesting papers/case studies would include:

Archicad 26’s shape library is limited. Eptar includes a parametric shape library with over 200 pre-defined shapes (based on international standards). You can also create custom shapes with drag-and-drop simplicity.

In the world of Building Information Modeling (BIM), precision is paramount—especially when it comes to structural reinforcement. For architects and structural engineers using Graphisoft Archicad, the transition from 3D modeling to actionable 2D reinforcement drawings has historically been a bottleneck. Enter Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 26—a game-changing add-on that redefines how professionals handle rebar, meshes, and shop drawings within the Archicad environment.

If you are still manually drafting rebars or struggling with the native Archicad 26 reinforcement tools, this article will walk you through everything you need to know about Eptar, from installation to advanced workflows.

Eptar Reinforcement is an add-on/toolset for placing and managing reinforcement (rebar) inside Archicad models. This guide covers installation, basic setup, placing common rebars, creating schedules, and export tips for Archicad 26.

Create an Archicad 26 template with Eptar styles, layer combinations, and favorite rebar sets pre-loaded. This eliminates repetitive setup.

  • Create or import reinforcement standards (bending shapes, bar diameters, hooks) if provided by Eptar.
