Seam applicator now again loads custom componentcomponent that the user creates and uses for creating model objects whose composition the user can modify as a group

In Floor layout, the component attribute file list is now properly shown for all components. Previously, it was not properly shown for 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.

Hole is created in the same way as bolts and hole properties are defined in the bolt properties.

In Brace corner tubes & Pl (44), parts no longer get new a ID when modifying the component.

Flange plates are used in moment connections, for example.

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

(20), previously, welding was not created when you only specified the below line weld properties for weld 2. This has now been fixed.

In Organizertool that is used for categorizing and managing model information, object properties and object property queries, and model object classification

, the synchronization performance has been improved.

IFCfile format commonly used in BIM that facilitates software interoperability

IFC is an open specification developed by the IAI (International Alliance for Interoperability).

Model can be exported into an IFC file.

object conversion: Cut row in changes cannot be opened at some cases. This has now been fixed.

IFC2x3 export: The gridmodeling aid that represents a three-dimensional complex of intersecting grid planes or intersecting grid planes and curved grid surfaces

The grid is defined by coordinates in 3D space. It is shown two-dimensionally on the view plane by dash-and-dot lines. A grid can be rectangular or radial.

It is possible to have more than one grid in a model. For example, a large-scale grid for the entire structure, and smaller grids for some detailed sections.

It is also possible to show grids and grid line labels in drawings, and to modify how they are shown in the drawings.

is now exported to the same location as the model when you use the Location by: Work planeplane that the user has chosen in a model and that is currently active for working on in a model view

Newly created, copied, or moved model objects comply with the work plane. For example, shifting the work plane to follow a sloped plane makes it easier to model sloped structures.

object conversion update now keeps the user-created part cuts.

IFC2x3 export: The surface treatmentbuilding object that represents finishing of a part

The term surface treatment is used in concrete detailing. For concrete parts surface treatment includes surface mixes, tiles, and flat finishes, such as troweling and sandblasting.

The term surface finish is used in steel detailing. For steel parts surface finishes include fire-proofing and unpainted areas.

The performance of the 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.

insert has been improved when the Tekla Structures model already contains non-visible unloaded reference models. After the fix, non-visible reference models are not loaded anymore in the reference model insert.

When prompted for mark content when creating an empty mark, the associativity symbolgraphic that Tekla Structures creates in a drawing and that indicates that an associativity point of a drawing object is associative

The associativity symbol changes if the associativity point is not associative.

was not correctly drawn. This has now been fixed.

Rebar groupgroup of reinforcing bars that are side by side and have identical properties, except the possible variation in bar lengths

dimensioning: Symbols for dimensioning rebars are now placed correctly.

Skewed or squashed symbols (with unequal height and width) containing arcs were drawn incorrectly in some cases. This has now been fixed.

Sometimes in a drawing with a custom template and small section views, all surface treatments were not properly drawn in all of the views. This has now been fixed.

The new printing incorrectly displayed a watermark in drawings with the Educational stamp. This has now been fixed.

In earlier versions, if a drawing dimension was selected and then turned off in view dimension properties, the handle points remained visible. This has now been fixed.

When a template has a pull-out picturesmall graphic in a reinforcement mark, table, or report template that shows the shape and dimensions of a reinforcing bar

for an individual rebar of a tapered rebar groupgroup of reinforcing bars that are side by side and have identical properties, except the possible variation in bar lengths

, the pull-out picture now shows the dimension lengths correctly as exact values.

Sometimes Tekla Structures showed an assert when a text was moved in a drawing using the Shift button.

In some situations, conflicts in the model could cause the error "Dbvirtual fatal error: internal consistency failure" in read in and restart of Tekla Structures. This has now been fixed.

In shared models, for parametric sketched profiles with several properties, the profile geometries were calculated incorrectly after read in until model was saved and reopened. Now this has been fixed. The geometries are correct after read in. Note that all users of model need have this Service Pack in use when writing out and reading in to have the correct geometries.

Tekla Structures DataSharing facade has been upgraded to version 3.11.19.

The Replace option for importing profiles to the profile catalogcatalog that displays profiles and information on the profiles

In addition to the available profiles in the respective Tekla Structures environment, the user can add fixed or parametric user-defined profiles to the profile catalog. It is also possible to import profiles to the profile catalog.

in shared models now works correctly when cross sections in the original profile and the imported profile have identical names.

synchronization has been improved in situations where the model history contains a lot of deleted objects.

The Diagnose model command now adds a new line "Obsolete object modification rows found." if there are any rows to be removed in the model databasedatabase file that contains a model

Model database file has the file name extension .db1. In addition, other files, such as the corresponding numbering database .db2, are needed in order to obtain the functionality of the model database.

. Use the Repair model command to remove these rows. This can considerably reduce the database size if it had become too large as a result of creating and deleting multiple objects with UDAs.

Previously, the database size could become too large if you created and deleted multiple objects with UDAs. This has now been fixed.

profiles are now fetched from external environment firm folders along with the users' local profile folder. These external profiles can be loaded in, but any changes will still be saved in the users' local folder as new profiles.

Sometimes Tekla Structures crashed when opening or refreshing a view with polygon reinforcement meshes displayed with the Fast representationthe way that the information included in a model is represented visually
