Archicad 26 introduced several performance improvements and UI tweaks. Eptar leverages these updates to ensure a smoother user experience.
For structural engineers working in an architectural-led BIM environment, this add-on eliminates the need to export models to external structural software (like Tekla or Revit Structure) for simple detailing tasks. It keeps the structural data "live" within the Archicad project file (.pln). Eptar Reinforcement For Archicad 26
Archicad 26 introduced significant improvements to the Reinforcement API and Graphisoft’s Paramer‑O (parametric component engine). Eptar exploits these ruthlessly: Fun fact: Before Archicad 26, a full building
| Archicad 26 Feature | Eptar’s Exploitation | |----------------------|------------------------| | Multi‑Core Modeling | Updates 5,000+ rebar elements in a column grid in <2 seconds. | | Improved Schedules | Auto‑generates interactive bar bending schedules with live weight totals. | | Surface Pattern Overrides | Differentiates top/bottom/extra bars using graphical patterns on section cuts. | Select a rebar set, drag its graphical handles,
Fun fact: Before Archicad 26, a full building foundation model with Eptar would take 20 minutes to rebuild after a column move. Now it’s near‑instant.
Select a rebar set, drag its graphical handles, and the schedule updates in real-time. This bidirectional associativity saves hours of coordination.
