Below is a step‑by‑step guide that covers a typical slab design, but the same logic applies to beams, walls, and footings.

To export: EPTAR ▶ Export → Reinforcement IFC (choose “Include Crack‑Top data”). The IFC will carry the IfcReinforcingBar entities plus a custom property set Pset_ReinforcementCrackTop (width, colour code, etc.). Below is a step‑by‑step guide that covers a
In the context of structural integrity, "cracks" refer to weaknesses or fissures in materials like concrete. Advanced design and analysis tools, such as those provided by Eptar and ArchiCAD 26, help in identifying potential weaknesses early in the design process. By optimizing reinforcement design, professionals can prevent structural cracks and ensure the longevity of buildings. In the context of structural integrity, "cracks" refer
Reinforcement detailing in ArchiCAD involves creating detailed drawings and schedules for the reinforcement of concrete structures. This process is crucial for ensuring that the structural elements are adequately reinforced to withstand various loads and stresses.
ArchiCAD 26 allows users to model complex reinforcement details, including:
