Eptar — Reinforcement For Archicad 27
Eptar Reinforcement for ARCHICAD 27 — Detailed Guide
1. Parametric Rebar Sets for Seismic Zones
Complex Structural Handling
: Enhanced support for roof reinforcement (meshes and rebars in two directions), slanted walls, and accurate structural core definitions in slabs.
- Solution: Ensure the wall is a "Curved Wall" object (not a Shell). Use the "Radial Rebar" option in the Eptar dialog, new to AC27.
"It’s all here," Elias said, pointing to the screen. "Every curve is reinforced, and every schedule is ready for the fabricator." Aethelgard Pavilion eptar reinforcement for archicad 27

Step 3: Modeling the Structural Element
Civil Engineer View
: Includes specific "Model View Options" that hide architectural clutter (like 1m cut lines) to focus solely on structural contours and apertures. Technical Details & Implementation Solution: Ensure the wall is a "Curved Wall"
- Prepare slab panels as ARCHICAD slabs with correct thickness and openings.
- Apply Eptar slab templates: top negative and bottom positive layers with defined cover.
- Use automatic mesh placement for distribution and add transverse distribution bars near openings.
- Generate slab reinforcement schedule by level and export CSV for fabrication.
