When followed, this approach yields:
The Eptar Reinforcement tool for Archicad 26 represents a critical bridge between architectural design and structural engineering within the Building Information Modeling (BIM) ecosystem. Developed by Éptár Ltd., this solution addresses one of the most complex challenges in BIM: the accurate, automated, and parametric modeling of reinforced concrete structures. As the industry moves toward higher Levels of Development (LOD 400 and beyond), the ability to detail rebar directly within the architectural model—rather than relying on disconnected 2D CAD drawings—has become a necessity for ensuring coordination, reducing waste, and improving construction accuracy.

Click generate to build the 3D geometry. Switch to the 3D window or use Archicad 26's physical rendering engine to visually inspect the cages. Use Archicad’s native tool to ensure the rebar does not intersect with MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) penetrations or anchor bolts.
