  • Structural calculation: Eptar Reinforcement focuses on detailing and documentation; it is not a substitute for structural analysis software—structural design checks should be performed in dedicated analysis tools.
  • Learning curve: users need time to master reinforcement parameters, templates and mapping to local standards.
  • Standards/customization: verify available templates, bend schedules and notation match local codes; some customization or scripting may be required.
  • Performance: dense reinforcement models can increase file size and view complexity—use view filters and worksets to manage performance.
  • Version compatibility: confirm explicit support and installer for Archicad 27 (Eptar’s site and Graphisoft partner pages list supported versions).
