„As a civil engineer "upskilled" from an architect, the Éptár Ironing Editor provides an opportunity to perform structural design based on ArchiCAD. Previously, we used to create plans in 2D as line drawings, with manual iron detailing, based on architectural data provided in PDF, DWG, or occasionally PLN format. This program significantly accelerates the design process for PLN data and provides immediate 3D visualization for controlling iron placement within the structure. The creation of iron schedules operates automatically based on the placed irons and serves as a useful tool for us in the structural design process.”

„I've been using the Éptár Ironing solution as an ArchiCAD add-on for several years now. It greatly contributes to the detailed, visually appealing, and easily comprehensible creation of structural plans for monolithic reinforced concrete structures. One significant advantage is that the planned rebars can be effortlessly visualized in 3D with just one click and can be further edited on the 3D surface if needed. With a multitude of settings, the drawings can be seamlessly integrated into our own plan template. Calculating, summarizing, listing, modifying, and independently displaying the quantities of reinforcement can be easily done, which simplifies and significantly speeds up the preparation of structural plans.”

„Due to my age, as an architect-structural engineer, I have experienced what it means to draw by hand, to create iron drawings. With the addition of the Ironing plugin built into ArchiCAD, the time spent on producing design sheets has been reduced to a fraction. The designed ironing can be documented understandably, whether in plan or as a spatial diagram. Associative labeling tracks changes as the schedules update. It is a great help to me during the execution plan preparation.”
