BIM software development


The name Éptár was created back in 2002 by ArchiData Kft. Back then our company was making BIM solutions for ArchiCAD and other CAD software for 5 years already.

In 2006 Éptár was separated from ArchiData Kft. and started to develop exclusively GDL content and Add-ons. In the last 12 years our company developed more than 50 solutions and over 200 GDL library.

Our goal is to develop useful solutions for CAD users to support the design process.

Add-on programming or GDL library

In the program ArchiCAD, our main profile, two complementary solutions can be made: GDL libraries or Add-on solutions. Our team is ready to do both kinds of development. Our GDL programmers and API developers are waiting for challenges.

The question of which solution we recommend is in all cases reliant on the to be modeled objects and the excpected complexity of the solution.

If the modeled products are more like placeable objects by themselves which have no connection to one another, or have only limited connections then usually the creation of a GDL library is the solution. GDL objects like our doors and windows libraries or our furniture and sanitery libraries.

More complicated product solutions, working with a particular logic or requiring the coordination of several details will usually require an add-on solution. With the help of an add-on we can excpect more complex functionalities from the BIM object. Good examples of this would be our roofing applications. These tile the given roof surface and allocate the necessary extras like roof foil and snow shields automatically, keeping in mind the rules of roof tiling. Allowing for fast and high quality work in the usual software.



Terrán RoofTiling designer

ArchiCAD solution for roof tiling process. User defined roofs tiling visualisation and calcualtion with an easy one step method. Photo realistic textures (fast) or real 3D tiling models are also supported.

Custom software




Applications in an online enviroment

Applications run with an internet browser or browser supplements. These applications can be downloaded or used via the internet by the wider audience. This way, product information can reach the broadest user crowd, making them known in a wider circle, meaning they can be perfectly used as a marketing tool as well.




Creating software independent applications

It is possible to create configurational or editing programs independent of architectural designing programs. We developed these applications for professionals who don't necessarily use CAD or BIM systems. In many cases these solutions were built into the manufacturer's post factum sales system.

E.g. Our previous Internorm door and window designer solution is easily accessible for everyone. With the programs help you can easily and swiftly assemble unique doors or windows, which can then immediately, through electronic means, be ordered.
