New 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

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

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

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
• extended 2D view types of rebars
• reverse the bending direction of rebars in slab and wall
• the option to indicate different text content in floorplan labels of rebar
• the option to indicate different text content in floorplan labels of mesh
• indicate (select) on floorplan all elements listed in already placed Cutting list
• Mesh board designer
• More exact Cutting list for Mesh
• More exact Cutting list for Rebar
• some new additional elements
• Reinforcement of concrete wall edges, by placing shear rebars in corners of openings
• Reinforcement of concrete slab edges, by placing shear rebars in corners of holes
• Slab edge reinforcement and wall edge reinforcement listing by components
• Listing of different length rebars by length
• Automatic update indicator
• Automatic reinforcement of straight, slanted and curved
• Automatic reinforcement of roofs with Mesh and Rebar elements
• Automatic reinforcement of complex roofs
• Automatic reinforcement of multiply roof surfaces
• Most used rebar and stirrup forms are preset, but custom polygonal forms can be set too
• Steel elements can be rotated, thus more difficult constructions (e.g. stairs) can be modeled
• 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
• License borrowing: get for limited time (7 days) the activation key offline. After this time period the key become online again. This option is but permanent, and you can use it at any time. It can be ordered for your existing license, too.
