The connection to Trimble Connect(1) Trimble’s platform for microservices in the cloud

(1) Trimble Connect platform’s microservices include services for uploading, storing, processing, and managing or consuming data. These services are meant to provide common solutions required by multiple applications.

(2) application for information sharing and collaboration for construction projects that is based on the Trimble Connect platform

(2) Reference models are used in Trimble Connect application instead of using import and export.

(2) Trimble Connect application includes web, desktop and mobile clients, and the Sync tool, for example.

failed because of an outdated default service address in the configuration file. The service address has been updated to match the current working address.

Hidden hatches are now correctly hidden in the exported DWG files.

Sometimes closing a drawing while the snapshot viewer was open, and then closing the snapshot viewer could cause an ASSERTion failure or even a crash. This has now been fixed.

In a shared modelmodel used for collaboration over the Tekla Model Sharing service

With a shared model, each user works with their own model and the changes are shared through Tekla Model Sharing. A shared model requires the use of a single-user model. The same model cannot be a shared model and a multi-user model.

, when reading in, conflicts in part 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.

were not always propagated to the assembly, which left the assembly numbering unchanged. This has now been fixed.

HOOK_END and HOOK_START are now correctly reported regardless of the ScheduleDimensionRoundingAccuracy set in rebar_config.inp.

Previously, saving the model sometimes failed after a reference modelmodel which the designer can use as an aid when building another model

A reference model is created in Tekla Structures or in other software and can be inserted to Tekla Structures. The reference model appears together with the model but it is not modified by Tekla Structures. The user can snap to reference model points.

For example, an architectural model, a plant design model, or a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) model can be a reference model.

was deleted. This has now been fixed.

Creating closed polybeampart of a certain shape that is created as a continuous chain of beams passing through points that the user picks

The segments of the polybeam are straight, but segment intersections can be curved. For example, a beam that follows a zigzag line is a polybeam.

structures in the model is now prevented.

A new version of the Support tool is now introduced for reporting issues with Tekla Structures. The new Support tool uses Trimble Identityuser account to Tekla online services and other Trimble services

For a Tekla Structures user, Trimble Identity is a single sign-on account which enables the user’s online identity management. The organization that the user’s Trimble Identity belongs to, determines the user’s access rights. Trimble Identity is needed, for example, for Tekla Campus and Tekla Warehouse, and to log in to Tekla User Assistance.

for log in. You can start the tool from the File menu by clicking Help > Contact Tekla support, or by entering Contact Tekla support in Quick Launchtool that is used for quickly finding commands, dialog boxes, and other functions in Tekla Structures

The other functions include local content from Tekla Warehouse, for example.

Export Unitechnik (79): With the new setting Y offset on the Pallet tab you can now specify the Y offset of elements on the pallet.

Export Unitechnik (79): Rebars and meshes are no longer taken into cast unit extrema calculation when they are excluded from export. Thereby, any protruding reinforcement that is excluded no longer creates an offset.

Export Unitechnik (79): Braced girders created as steel parts are now exported correctly.

In Export Unitechnik (79), the following new special assembly export codes (installation types) can now be used: 0, 41, 42, 43.

• 41 - 43 can be used for orienting 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 bolted together on site. In Tekla Structures, embeds are modeled as steel sub-assemblies that are inside a concrete nested assembly.
  
  symbols according to model orientation:
  • 41: Insertion point embed assembly COG and orients towards the start to end point axis.
  • 42: Insertion point embed part start point and orients towards the end point.
  • 43: Insertion point embed assembly COG and orinets towards the axis of the longest edge.
• 0 ignores the symbol and will use the sub-assemblyassembly in a nested assembly that is subordinate to a parent assembly
  
  bounding boxrectangular border with the smallest measure within which all the selected points that position the model objects lie
  
  In Tekla Structures two-dimensional bounding boxes are used in drawings and three-dimensional bounding boxes in models.
  
  setting according to the insertion COG setting (1 - 5), for example, PLATE(1) part that represents a flat structure
  
  (1) In some contexts, for example in analysis, the term plate object may be used to refer to plates.
  
  (2) plate that represents a steel structure
  
  (2) Plate is mainly used as a connection piece or as a floor plate.

HMS export: There is a new setting Generate drain/weep holes on the Options tab for exporting drain holes and weep holes. You can also specify the offset.
