The version of Reinforcement for Archicad is already available with some very useful new functions!


New functions:
Redesigned tool palette

New listing functions:
  • Selection management palette with element ID and graphical element marking
  • Zoom function for selected elements to facilitate better clarity
  • Automatic numbering of elements
  • Numbering of rebars starting from a specified number
  • Handling of identical rebars in complex elements
  • Option to apply a prefix
  • The listing process ensures that an element is not listed twice in two separate lists
  • Measurement units have been moved from the list to the header to avoid confusion during further processing in XLS export
  • The list now has its own layer
  • The cutting list can be expanded with additional – even custom – text content

Column/Pillar reinforcement:
  • Indication of rebar rotation in the 3D window, which can be globally toggled on/off in the Model View Option window
  • Option to apply multiple types of stirrups
  • Manual resizing option for placed reinforcement

Model View settings:
  • Extended rebar diameter list where double the amount of rebar diameters can be defined
  • Custom diameters can be defined, even with fractional values
  • Toggleable rotation indication

Labeling:
  • Every element can be labeled using the reinforcement’s own label
  • All groups used in a beam or pillar can be labeled separately with its real parameters

Rebar:
  • Creation of splice drawings for straight rebars
  • New handling and representation of curved rebar layouts
  • Option to set custom rebar weight

Stirrups:
  • Option to set rebar diameter by group
  • Stirrups can be sized by external dimensions, not along the axis

This solution helps designers to draw documents and lists the necessary reinforcement for their buildings in ArchiCAD. The application provides tools to define all 2D drawings as well as complete 3D models.

The solution contains a library of different reinforcement objects and an Add-on. They provide great freedom in defining constructions and also help to specify complex objects. Eptar Reinforcement also checks the rebar ID numbering and corrects it if necessary. With Reinforcement tool, users can simply calculate the necessary amount of rebars. Iron list is available on the floor plan just as the interactive schedule.

REINFORCEMENT MAIN FEATURES:
  • Roof reinforcement with rebars in two directions and in the top and bottom regions with the direction selector.
  • Roof reinforcement with the RF_EDGE element (single roof)
  • Roof reinforcement with the Mesh element in the top and bottom regions.
  • Concrete cover correction in case of walls.
  • Reinforcement only in the core of slabs.
  • ID handling of RF_BEAM, RF_COLUMN and RF_EDGE elements: if the same ID is used twice in the element, a YELLOW sign will inform the user about it.
  • More advanced reinforcement of beams and columns.
  • RF_CHAIR is included in the Cutting list with the necessary parameters.
  • BEAM reinforcement with the correct section dimensions.
  • Enhanced stability. If the program cannot perform an action, a warning window appears with information about the failure.
  • ABOUT window
  • Reinforcement of circular columns. RF_COLUMN placed automatically by the add-on into the relevant column with many settings.
  • Spiral stirrup for manual or automatic placement.
  • Dedicated layers for Reinforcement: in Archicad 26/27 layers are grouped into the Reinforcement folder, in version 25 and below these layers will be simply created.
  • Update checking system, which helps the user to see when a newer version of Reinforcement is available.
  • Reinforcement 5 will support Archicad from 23 to 27.
  • reinforcement of slanted walls cropped to a roof
  • handling of Archicad openings in the wall
  • accurate usage of structural core definition in slab
  • listing of iron chair element
  • automatic notification about new versions
  • place automatically the reinforcement in simple profiled beams using rf_beam complex element
  • place automatically the reinforcement in simple profiled column using rf_column complex element
  • list of beams and column reinforcement elements

  • Complex elements (columns, beams and crownings) can be defined
  • Many view and display options
  • Cutting list generation
  • Changes can easily be made on the layout and in the Object Settings window as well

A: This is done in 3 steps:

Step 1
First, you have to install Reinforcement and start ArchiCAD. In the menu bar, select the "Reinforcement Registration" button.
A window will appear where you can download the machine_key.dat file to your machine by clicking on the "Save your machine description file" button.

Step 2
Login to www.eptar.hu and press "Unlock Key" button on the user interface and select "Machine key", you can upload the file by pressing the "Save changes" button.

Step 3
You have to insert the received code to ArchiCAD "Reinforcement Registration" "Validate an already purchased key" "Machine key...". The program is activated.

Q: How can I upgrade my license from older versions to new version?
A: After logging in to www.eptar.hu, pressing "Purchase" or "Upgrade" you can buy or upgrade the solution. For purchased and upgraded products, the "Unlock key" button is displayed and additional settings are required here.
