In Wraparound gussetcomponent object that represents a plate that connects braces to a beam, column, or base plate

(58), the end gusset bolted to the beam or column does not disappear anymore.

In Full depth (184), it is now possible to create a stiffenercomponent object that represents a structure that strengthens a steel beam or column

Stiffeners are usually plates.

Stiffeners are used to prevent web buckling at supports or concentrated loads.

determined by a shear tabcomponent object that represents a plate welded to the component main part and bolted to the web of the component secondary part

.

In Two sided clip anglecomponent object that represents a right angle that is made of a standard L-shaped profile and that connects parts

(117), you can now define L profile names.

In Clip anglecomponent object that represents a right angle that is made of a standard L-shaped profile and that connects parts

(116) and Two sided clip angle (117), the Thread in material option now works correctly for all bolts.

Unitechnik Export (79) contains the following improvements:

• Cut part formers are now exported with thickness and installation height of the host part cutcut that is defined by a cutting part
  
  section, instead of the thickness and position of the cut itself.

• Reinforcement types 1,2, 5 and 6 are now correctly exported in double wallplate that represents a structure such as a wall or roof panel
  
  In Tekla Structures, a panel is created by picking two or more points.
  
  In cast-in-place concrete the term wall refers to a concept similar to panel.
  
  shells 1 and 2 regardless of turning.

• When a rebar fails the validation for diameter of length limitation, you are now notified by a log message.

• Embeds that are outside the double wall shells are now exported to the intended shell if added as sub-assemblyassembly in a nested assembly that is subordinate to a parent assembly
  
  . If added to cast unit, will be exported in main part(1) part that exists in a building object and that determines the position number for the assembly or cast unit and the direction of assembly or cast unit drawings
  
  (1) Main part can be an assembly main part or a cast unit main part.
  
  (2) input part that the user selects first when creating a component
  
  (2) Connections and details always have a component main part.
  
  's shell (usually 1st shell).

• The embedbuilding object that represents an object that is to be cast into a concrete structure and that is used to connect structures or as an aid when constructing a structure
  
  For example, a cast-in socket is an embed that is placed in concrete structures to allow parts to be fastened together on site. In Tekla Structures, embeds are typically steel parts and they are added to cast units as sub-assemblies.
  
  plotting option now works correctly for embeds that have more than two hierarchy levels.

• Freely selectable bending forms with 6 bending rows are now exported without an extra row, which caused errors in some user interfaces.

• The Text[Template]#Counter option was improved, and now more than one template can be used, and text delimiters are also supported. The Text[Template]#Counter option was also added for the settings Article number - rebar and Article number - meshreinforcement that represents a mesh of steel bars in two perpendicular directions
  
  In Tekla Structures, the reinforcement mesh bars in one direction are called main bars and reinforcement mesh bars perpendicular to them are called crossing bars.
  
  on the Reinf. data specification tab.

• The user-defined attributes dialog box for surface objects now contains a new tab Unitechnik, where you can define line attributes that override scanned line attributes.

• SLABDATE block data specification tab:

  • You can now export weight in the SLABDATE block as cast unit weight or as template property using the new Production weight options Cast unit weight and Template.

  • You can now select which value will be exported as total thickness by using the new setting Total thickness. The options are:

- Cast unit thickness
- Concrete part thickness
- Main part thickness
- Template

• TS configuration tab:

  • There are two new options for the setting Export CUTOUTs: Exclude selected excludes from the export the modeled cut parts that you define by classpart property that groups parts according to identifiers given by the user
    
    The identifiers of classes are usually numbers. Classes can be used for defining the color of parts in the model, for example. Class does not influence the numbering of model objects.
    
    or name, and Selected only includes in the export the cut parts that you define by class or name.

• Embeds tab:

  • Embeds in special assembly symbol definition file can now also be designated by template property and its value in format [TEMPLATE:VALUE] instead of the embed name.

  • There is a new option Yes, no rotation on pallet available for the setting Special assembly export. With this option, the embed symbols are placed according to the panel rotation, but the symbols themselves are not rotated.

  • Embeds, insulation, electric tubes, opening embed, opening cutout, cutpart former, opening with corner symbols, braced girder and ignored parts from export can now be designated by class or by name.

• Reinforcement tab:

  • There is a new option Bent meshes with end hooks available for the setting Bent reinf. as unfolded. This option exports end hook shapes L, S and U (flection form 1, 4 and 5) as terminal hooks according to the Unitechnik specification. Other shapes are exported as free flection forms like before.

• Mounting part data specification tab:

  • It is now possible to define the type of the mounting part by class or by name in Type of mounting part. Define the exceptional classes/names in the first dialog field separated by blank space and the paired mounting part types in same sequence separated by blank space.

• Log files tab:

  • With the new setting Write file name to UDAobject property created by the user in order to widen the range of predefined object properties
    
    User-defined attributes are used when the predefined object properties are not sufficient but more properties are needed. For example, comment, locked, and erection status are user-defined attributes.
    
    , you can select to write the full export file name (File name with extension) or the export file name without the file name extension (File name without extension) to UDA.

• Pallet tab:

  • Now when you select Combined, n slabdate, 1 part as the output file structure, you can select the order of the exported sequence on the Pallet tab as Ascending or Descending.

Model can be exported into an IFC file.

property set file names did not work. This has now been fixed.

When resizing a 2D arc in a drawing by dragging with mouse, the arc now retains its start point and end point.

Previously, cloning some single part drawings sometimes created extra weld marks that were not present in the original drawing. This has now been fixed.

Single part drawings that were manually included in assembly drawings could lose some dimensions when you updated the drawing. This has now been fixed.

The advanced optionssettings used to customize Tekla Structures for specific companies, standards, users, or user groups

In Tekla Structures, advanced options are settings that are used, for example, in a specific project or geographical area, or by a specific company.

In Tekla Structures, advanced options usually begin with the initials XS and are followed by the name of the function, for example XS_BACKGROUND_COLOR.

XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_M and XS_DRAWING_PLOT_FILE_NAME_W  now work in accordance to other plot file name advanced options and Tekla User Assistanceonline help and self-support service for Tekla Structures

, numberingprocess of assigning position numbers to parts, cast units, assemblies, or reinforcement

In Tekla Structures, the position numbers assigned in the numbering are shown in marks and templates, for example.

conflicts were not always reliably resolved if there were many incoming packets. This could cause numbering to be unexpectedly reset.
The modelsharing.log now includes information about numbering conflict resolution. The GUIDS of objects that have errors in numbering are listed in certain cases.

Previously, Sharing automation tool could not always read in changes automatically after an overnight wait. Connection handling has now been improved to fix this.

Hovering the mouse pointer over model objects now makes the object color darker so that the original object color can still be seen. Previously, hovering changed the object color to gray, which hid the original object color.

Tekla Structures no longer snaps to the view rotation center.
