Define the cast unit type of a part

You must define the cast unit type of concrete parts. Tekla Structures checks the cast unit type of the main part each time you create or modify a cast unit. Precast and cast-in-place parts cannot be mixed within a cast unit.

  1. Double-click a concrete part to open the part properties in the property pane.
  2. Go to the Cast unit section.
  3. In the Cast unit list, select one of the following:
    • Cast in place

      Cast units that are constructed fully in their final location.

    • Precast

      Cast units that are built at another location and transported to their final location for placement in the full structure.

  4. Click Modify to save the changes.
Note:

It is important to use the correct cast unit type, because some functionalities, for example numbering, are based on the cast unit type.
