Overview of Reinforcement for Archicad
Reinforcement offers for Archicad Users a comprehensive suite of tools to design 2D drawings and complete 3D models of reinforcement in concrete constructions. It includes a library of reinforcement objects and an add-on to assist with complex constructions, rebar ID numbering checks, and quantity calculations. Rebar list and interactive schedules are available directly on the floor plan.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unfolded drawing of reinforcement bars for structural reinforcement components | |||||||||
| Creation of cross-sectional drawings of beam and column reinforcements at individually defined locations | |||||||||
| Component drawings can be placed in separate views, not only on the floor plan, placed component and cross-sectional drawings automatically update when the reinforcement of the element is modified. It gaves more flexibility in documentation. | |||||||||
| Drawing of splices for long rebars | |||||||||
| Customizable angle specification for bent ends of rebars | |||||||||
| New rf_single_edge element: compared to the previous complex rf_edge element, it allows placing independent edge reinforcements along each edge, with stirrups that can be set at custom angles. | |||||||||
| New parameter palette: a custom parameter palette where the main, most commonly used parameters of the selected element can be adjusted without opening the Settings window | |||||||||
| A new thermal bridge breaker element is available in the library | |||||||||
| New custom reinforcement bar that can be bent in multiple directions — even in 3Dt | |||||||||
| Redesigned tool palette | |||||||||
