Each view is displayed in its own window inside the Tekla Structures window. Selecting a part in a view highlights the part in all open views. There are several ways to create views in Tekla Structures. Points that are located outside the view plane are red. Basic views Basic views are those parallel to the global basic planes xy, xz, and zy. In basic views, two axes always define the view plane and the axes appear in the plane name.

The third axis is perpendicular to the view plane. It does not appear in the plane name. In the basic plane view, the model is shown from the direction of the third axis. The view plane options for basic views are: Plane: XY Plane: XZ Setting up the workspace 35 Views Plane: ZY For basic views, you also define the distance the view plane is from the global origin in the direction of the third axis.

The view plane coordinate equals this distance. Other views For view types other than basic views, you either define the view plane and coordinate by picking points, or the points are defined automatically, depending on the creation method. See also Moving a view plane on page 36 Creating views on page 37 Moving a view plane You can change the view plane by moving it like any other object.

When you move a view plane, Tekla Structures only uses the vector that is perpendicular to the view plane. To move the view plane: 1. Click the view. Pick the start point of the translation vector, or enter its coordinates.

There are many ways to create points in Tekla Structures. Which method is the most convenient at each time depends on what you have already created in the model and which locations you can easily pick.

When you create points, Tekla Structures always places them according to the work plane coordinate system. Points located on the view plane are yellow and points outside the view plane are red. The Point Input dialog box opens. Setting up the workspace 56 Points 2. Define the distances at which the points are created.

Separate multiple values with spaces. Pick the start point of the line 1. Pick the end point of the line 2. For example, if you enter to the Point Input dialog box, the first point is created at mm distance from the end point of the line, and the second and the third point are each created at mm distance. TIP Enter a negative value to the Point Input dialog box to create a point between the start point and the end point. See also Points on page 55 Creating points parallel to two points You can create two offset points that are parallel to a line between two points you have picked.

To create points parallel to two points: 1. The Point Input dialog box appears. Setting up the workspace 57 Points The picking order of the start point and the end point defines the offset direction of the new points. When you look from the start point to the end point, Tekla Structures creates the new points to the left of the existing points.

When you pick points, Tekla Structures uses arrows to indicate the offset direction. For example, if you enter to the Point Input dialog box, the new points are created parallel at mm distance from the original points. See also Points on page 55 Creating points on a line You can create points at equal intervals along a line that is defined by two points. To create points on a line: 1. The Divided Line Points dialog box appears. Define the number of points to be created.

Setting up the workspace 58 Points See also Points on page 55 Creating points on a plane You can create several equally spaced points in the desired area in the model.

The points are created in relation to the picked origin position. A point array consists of several points in a rectangular xy z pattern relative to the current work plane. The x, y, and z coordinates of the points define the array pattern. The x and y coordinates are relative distances between the points on the work plane. The z coordinates are absolute distances perpendicular to the work plane. To create points on a plane: 1. The Point Array dialog box appears.

Define the array point coordinates. Use positive or negative values to define the direction of the array. Use a zero at the beginning of the row to represent a point in the array origin.

To display in your reports and templates the information that you enter in this dialog box, add in the reports and templates the corresponding template attributes listed under the image.

INFO2 Defining project information 69 Points 4 Creating parts This section explains how to create parts using different materials and profiles. It also explains how to join parts together into more complex structures.

These are the building blocks of the physical model. Every part has properties that define it, such as material, profile, and location. You can use part properties in view and selection filters. For example, you can select, modify, and hide parts based on their properties. You can also include part properties and user-defined attributes in drawing and report templates. See also Part properties on page User-defined attributes on page Creating parts 70 About parts Part handles Tekla Structures indicates the direction of a part with handles.

When you select a part, Tekla Structures highlights the handles. The handle of the first end point is yellow, the rest are magenta. If Direct Modification is on, Tekla Structures also displays direct modification handles for the reference points, corners, segments, and segment midpoints of the selected part. These handles are blue.

Creating parts 71 About parts See also Showing part reference lines in model views on page Part labels You can display selected part properties, user-defined attributes, and template attributes in a model view by using part labels.

Creating parts 72 About parts Part labels are textual descriptions that are displayed next to the part they represent.

See also Part labels on page 72 4. Shapes are created in an external modeling software, or in Tekla Structures, and they are available in the Tekla Structures shape catalog.

Items are similar to other parts, such as beams and columns. The main difference between items and other types of parts is that a 3D shape defines the geometry of an item, whereas a part has a 2D profile that is extruded to create the length of the part.

You can use items to model objects that would be difficult to model using basic Tekla Structures parts and commands, such as cutting. You can also use items to model objects that use shapes modeled in an external software or by a manufacturer. Every item has properties that define it, such as shape, material, and location.

If you want to use item properties in view and selection filters or in drawing and report templates, you need to use the template attributes of parts and profiles. Splitting an imported item creates a duplicate to the splitting position.

This is because the cuts are not taken into account when calculating the gross weight of parts. See also About items on page 74 4. Pick a point.

Press Enter. NOTE If you move any of the outermost grid lines using its line handle, Tekla Structures stretches or shrinks the perpendicular, crossing grid lines accordingly by default. To temporarily prevent this, select the grid line to move, right-click and click then move the grid line. Select the grid from which to delete the grid line. Select the grid line you want to delete.

Press Delete. Delete a grid line using the Select grid line switch 1. If you also have other objects selected, Tekla Structures only deletes the objects, not the grid line.

Confirm that you want to delete the grid line. See also Single grid lines on page 30 Setting up the workspace 33 Views 2. Each view is displayed in its own window inside the Tekla Structures window.

Selecting a part in a view highlights the part in all open views. There are several ways to create views in Tekla Structures. Points that are located outside the view plane are red. Basic views Basic views are those parallel to the global basic planes xy, xz, and zy. In basic views, two axes always define the view plane and the axes appear in the plane name. The third axis is perpendicular to the view plane.

It does not appear in the plane name. In the basic plane view, the model is shown from the direction of the third axis. The view plane options for basic views are: Plane: XY Plane: XZ Setting up the workspace 35 Views Plane: ZY For basic views, you also define the distance the view plane is from the global origin in the direction of the third axis. The view plane coordinate equals this distance.

Other views For view types other than basic views, you either define the view plane and coordinate by picking points, or the points are defined automatically, depending on the creation method. See also Moving a view plane on page 36 Creating views on page 37 Moving a view plane You can change the view plane by moving it like any other object.

When you move a view plane, Tekla Structures only uses the vector that is perpendicular to the view plane. To move the view plane: 1. Click the view. Pick the start point of the translation vector, or enter its coordinates.

Pick the end point of the translation vector, or enter its coordinates. Click Move. TIP If the Move – Linear dialog box is open but the command is not active anymore, click the Pick button to re-activate the command.

Click the Applications and Components button in the upper-right corner of the Tekla Structures main window to open the Applications and Components catalog. Click the arrow next to Applications to open the applications list.

Double-click CreateSurfaceView to start the macro. Select the surface of the part. Tekla Structures creates a new temporary view and moves the work plane typically along the longest edge of the part face. You can model in the surface view and see your modeling work being done in your original 3D view at the same time.

Setting up the workspace 44 Views 5. Press Esc to stop the macro. To return the work plane back to the origin, double-click the WorkPlaneGlobal macro in the Applications and Components catalog. To create a surface view and align it along the edge you select: 1. This allows you to pick along an edge to define the direction. Click the Applications and Components button Tekla Structures main window to open the Applications and Components catalog.

When you hover the mouse pointer over the part edges, a yellow arrow symbol is displayed to indicate the possible edges you can align the view to.

The head of the arrow represents the positive direction of the x axis. The view will be rotated in this direction to Setting up the workspace 45 Views form the flat horizontal edge of the view. The origin of the view and work plane will be at the start of the arrow snap line. Pick the desired edge. Tekla Structures creates a new temporary view, and the selected edge forms the x axis of the view. Setting up the workspace 46 Views See also Creating a surface view on page 44 Saving a view If you need to re-open views later on, give each view a unique name.

When you exit the model, Tekla Structures only saves the named views. Temporary views disappear when you close them. Before you start, create one or more views in the model. To save a view: 1. Enter a unique name in the Name box. Temporary views have a default name in parentheses. Do not use parentheses when naming a view, or the view will not be saved for later use. NOTE In multi-user mode, it is very important to give views unique names.

If several users have different views with the same name, the view settings of one user may accidentally override the settings of another user. Click Modify. Tekla Structures will automatically save all named views when you close the model. See also Creating views on page 37 Opening a view To view and open an existing view: 1. The Views dialog box appears.

Tekla Structures lists all invisible named views on the left, and all visible views on the right. Select a view and use the arrows between the lists, or double-click a view to open it. NOTE You can have up to nine views on the screen at the same time. If you try to open more than nine views, Tekla Structures displays a warning.

If the view does not appear, check how many views you have open. Setting up the workspace 47 Views See also Views on page 33 Modifying a view To modify an existing view: 1. Modify the view properties.

Update the contents of the active view Right-click the view and select Update Window from the pop-up menu.

Updating views is faster than redrawing. Updating only removes temporary graphics, such as measured distances, from the views. It does not, for example, show hidden objects. See also Views on page 33 Setting up the workspace 49 Views Arranging views You can arrange views manually by dragging and dropping each view within the Tekla Structures window, or have Tekla Structures automatically arrange views.

For more information on how to move part and component basic views and zoom windows across the entire Windows desktop, see , , and. See also Views on page 33 2.

For example, you can easily pick the points at intersections of construction lines and circles. The snap priority of construction objects is the same as with the other lines. Construction objects remain in the model when you update or redraw views and windows. They do not appear in drawings. You can also create magnetic construction lines or planes to bind and move groups of objects.

For example, rather than binding lots of handles and chamfers to faces, simply create a construction plane that goes through all the handles and chamfers. Then make this plane magnetic and bind the plane to the appropriate face. When you move the plane, the attached handles and chamfers move with it.

Using the keyboard, enter the value with which you want the dimension to change. See also Construction objects on page 50 Points on page 55 2. There are many ways to create points in Tekla Structures.

Which method is the most convenient at each time depends on what you have already created in the model and which locations you can easily pick. When you create points, Tekla Structures always places them according to the work plane coordinate system. Points located on the view plane are yellow and points outside the view plane are red. The Point Input dialog box opens. Setting up the workspace 56 Points 2.

Define the distances at which the points are created. Separate multiple values with spaces. Pick the start point of the line 1. Pick the end point of the line 2. For example, if you enter to the Point Input dialog box, the first point is created at mm distance from the end point of the line, and the second and the third point are each created at mm distance.

TIP Enter a negative value to the Point Input dialog box to create a point between the start point and the end point. See also Points on page 55 Creating points parallel to two points You can create two offset points that are parallel to a line between two points you have picked.

To create points parallel to two points: 1. The Point Input dialog box appears. Setting up the workspace 57 Points The picking order of the start point and the end point defines the offset direction of the new points.

When you look from the start point to the end point, Tekla Structures creates the new points to the left of the existing points. When you pick points, Tekla Structures uses arrows to indicate the offset direction. For example, if you enter to the Point Input dialog box, the new points are created parallel at mm distance from the original points. See also Points on page 55 Creating points on a line You can create points at equal intervals along a line that is defined by two points.

To create points on a line: 1. The Divided Line Points dialog box appears. Define the number of points to be created. Setting up the workspace 58 Points See also Points on page 55 Creating points on a plane You can create several equally spaced points in the desired area in the model. The points are created in relation to the picked origin position. A point array consists of several points in a rectangular xy z pattern relative to the current work plane. The x, y, and z coordinates of the points define the array pattern.

The x and y coordinates are relative distances between the points on the work plane. The z coordinates are absolute distances perpendicular to the work plane. To create points on a plane: 1. The Point Array dialog box appears. Define the array point coordinates. Use positive or negative values to define the direction of the array. Use a zero at the beginning of the row to represent a point in the array origin. Pick the origin of the array in the view.

Alternatively, you can define the origin in the Point Array dialog box. See also Points on page 55 Setting up the workspace 59 Points Creating projected points on a line You can project a point onto a selected line or its extension. To create projected points on a line: 1. Pick the first point on the line 1. Pick the second point on the line 2.

Pick the point to be projected 3. See also Points on page 55 Creating points along an arc using center and arc points You can create points along an arc. To create points along an arc using center and arc points: 1. The Arc Points dialog box appears. Select either Angles or Distances and enter the angles or distances between the points along the arc. Give the angle values in degrees.

We recommend you to diagnose and repair your. Using rebar sets you can reinforce various areas in concrete parts, as well as in pour objects, or outside concrete objects. Rebar sets are adaptive to the changes in concrete parts, and updated automatically if the dimensions or concrete cover thickness of the parts change.

If needed, you can easily fine-tune the order of the bar layers. Rebar sets are easy to modify Rebar sets are reinforcing bars that you can easily modify as a group, or only at certain locations. You can use direct modification, and the new methods specific to rebar sets: guidelines, leg faces, and local modifiers.

For more information about the new objects related to rebar sets, see Basic concepts related to rebar sets. The example below shows the planes the gray leg faces that define where the reinforcing bar legs are created, and how the rebar set guideline highlighted in yellow defines the distribution direction and spacing of the reinforcing bars. A magenta end detail modifier adds hooks to the bar ends it affects, and a green property modifier changes the properties of certain bars only.

You can cut rebar sets using the cutting commands on the Edit tab, and modify the cuts using direct modification. You can also split and splice bars with splitters, which are one type of modifiers.

You can define the default concrete cover thickness of the rebar sets in a model, and the minimum lengths for the bars and end legs that will be created. To define the cover thickness of the rebar sets in an individual concrete part, you can use the Concrete Cover tab in the user-defined attributes of the part.

Rebar sets in drawings The reinforcing bars that are created by using the Rebar set commands are automatically grouped for drawing marking and dimensioning purposes. For more information about rebar sets in drawings, and how to dimension and mark the rebar sets, see Automatic grouping of rebars sets for drawings. To combine identical rows in Template Editor, set Sort type to Combine in row properties.

To sum the values of identical bars, you can use the Sum values across all rows option under When rows are combined for value fields in Template Editor. If you combine identical rows, the Count column shows the number of identical bars.

On the new Tolerances tab in the Rebar shape manager dialog box, you can define the tolerances that are used when the bending shape rules are compared. For more information, see Define reinforcing bar bending shapes in Rebar shape manager. With Task manager, you can now show a sequence in the model. Faster synchronization in Organizer Organizer is synchronized significantly faster than before. Synchronizing Organizer now updates all properties of only the changed objects in the Organizer database.

This is useful especially if you have changed only a few objects in the model. Previously, the properties viewed in Organizer were updated for all objects at synchronization.

When you have viewed a property of any object in Object Browser, the property will be updated in the Organizer database at synchronization. Note that in some cases the whole Organizer database is still synchronized. This happens when synchronizing a model for the first time, or when you have enabled the pour functionality, for example. Reloading Object Browser.

When you reload Object Browser, the viewed properties are refreshed to display the current situation in the model. The refreshed properties are also updated in the Organizer database. More fluent and faster reporting in Organizer View a limited number of objects in Object Browser Object Browser now has a predefined limit for listing objects. As loading object properties takes time, the limit is useful if you have selected a large number of objects in the model or in the categories.

When you select more than the predefined number of objects, Object Browser does not at first show. Instead, Object Browser shows how many objects you have selected and what the predefined limit is. You can change the predefined limit by entering a number in the box. The number you enter in the box becomes the default value. You can also set the limit in Organizer Settings, on the Synchronization tab. Show objects from the model or the categories Object Browser automatically shows objects either from the model or from the categories based on what you have last selected.

On the Object Browser toolbar, the automatic selection button is selected by default. If you have a category selected, Object Browser only shows the objects that are in the category.

If you have selected objects in the model, Object Browser only shows these objects. You can switch off the automatic selection to control the selection. Click the button to select the other selection buttons:. The sum row option also has a new value available. Previously, this option was called Show result in sum row. You could either select the option to show the result or leave the check box unselected to not show the result.

The corresponding values are now Result and -. The new sum row value Single value allows you to select whether you want the row to show a property value only when all the objects in Object Browser have the same value in the property column.

Previously, this option was called Show result in combined rows. Report object properties to Excel The latest object properties are now by default updated to Object Browser for the Excel export. The Update object properties from model option in the Export data to Excel dialog box is by default selected. Pours in Organizer When you have the pour functionality enabled, Organizer shows the pour object hierarchy instead of the cast-in-place object hierarchy.

Select categories When you have selected a category in Organizer, the objects in the category now stay selected when you right-click another category. Right-clicking a category does not select the category anymore. When you right-click a category, you can only add objects to the category. To use all the category commands, you need to select the category first.

View objects in a pie chart When you have grouped objects in Object Browser, you can now create a pie chart to view the ratio of the number of objects included in the groups. Use Task manager to show a sequence in the model You can now show a sequence in the model by using Task manager. In the Task information dialog box, first set the sequencing order for the objects on the Objects tab. Then select the relevant objects in the table and. The objects are selected in the model in the same order as they are listed on the Objects tab.

You can change the speed of the object selection by typing a different number in the box next to the Play button. The default is 1 second. Now drawings open faster also when reference models use hidden lines. You can also find this command in the pop-up menu. The drawing can still be edited and updated, and works just like any other drawing. You can check who marked the drawing from the Ready for issuing by column.

You can include the attributes in reports, for example. Both letters and numbers allowed in section view labels There is a new option available in the Section view properties in all drawing types for adjusting the section view and section symbol labels: Start number or letter of section view and symbol label.

If you use numbers, all entered numbers are shown. When you change it in an. Delete marks of selected parts at one go With the new command Delete part mark you can easily delete the part marks of parts that you have selected.

This command comes in very handy when you do not want to show marks for neighbor parts or neighbor reinforcement, for example.

When you apply this filter, activate. The different gray shades are true colors in the way that they will. Below is an example of architectural linework drawn directly from an architectural IFC model. Light gray is used here. For example, if your drawing shows a pour, you may want to show other parts with a different color than pours, and add a different fill.

Earlier there were problems with the dialog box size and buttons that were not working properly. If you select Enter height, you can enter the height in the Height box.

If you select Autosize, the symbol height is adjusted automatically. Use the option Enter Autosize minimum height to set the minimum height for the symbol. Earlier, these values could only be entered in the user-defined grid properties in the model. You need to recreate the labels.

To place the image, select the file and click the drawing view or drawing. When you click this button, the Selection filter dialog box is displayed allowing you to create and modify drawing selection filters.

Use the filtering property GUID instead in assembly, reference assembly and reference object filtering. If you use a polygon or a part cut for cutting, the resulting opening or recess is visible in drawings. Hollow profiles are now drawn correctly using the correct symbols. Complex cuts, like L, U or O shapes, are not supported.

Nested lists are also supported. An AutoDrawings wizard is a file-based wizard consisting of several sets of drawing requests containing drawing, attribute and part settings to apply to selected objects, as well as a selection filter.
