Double-clicking 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.

If you need to reset pour unitentity that combines together a pour object and the other building objects that need to be in place before cast-in-place concrete can be poured

The needed building objects can be reinforcement and embeds, for example.

contents and relations defined using the Calculate pour units command and/or the Add to pour unit command, you can now use the following commands 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.

:

• Reset all pour unit relations
• Reset all manually assigned pour unit relations
• Reset all pour unit relations except manual assignments

The first two commands have a dialog box where you confirm the command. This is because you cannot undo the commands.

Previously, when a user had created an analysis modelstructural model that is created from a physical model and used on the one hand for analyzing structural behavior and load bearing, and on the other hand for design

Analysis model can be viewed in Tekla Structures in a model view.

Analysis model that is made with Tekla Structures can be worked on in other analysis and design software or application.

Formula is part of an equation.

. The formula value was not correctly evaluated and thus the rule result was never true and the OK button was not enabled. This has now been fixed.

Tekla Structures no longer crashes when renumbering objects.

Previously, when you clicked a selection or snap switchswitch used for controlling what kind of points Tekla Structures snaps to

The user needs to activate snap switches to be able to pick different points, for example, line ends and intersections.

Snap switches help the user to pick points in order to position model objects precisely without having to know the coordinates or create additional lines or points.

Export Unitechnik (79): Production thicknesses of 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 are now calculated so that the 1st shell thickness reports sub-assemblyassembly in a nested assembly that is subordinate to a parent assembly

thickness including braced girders, and the 2nd shell reports complete cast unit thickness regardless of the chosen dialog box option.  This is to ensure that the production thickness values comply with the curing chamber slot maximum height.
