Rebar Coupler and Anchor Tools: Previously, the assembly structure was broken when a coupler was created as a custom partcomponent for creating a part that cannot be created by using any existing part command or part profile

Typically, custom parts are used to create parts that have a complex composition. For example, castellated beams and sandwich panels are often created as custom parts.

and you attached the rebar to another part after the couplers were created.
Note that if the assembly hierarchyarrangement of assemblies that describes the manufacture and erecting of the actual assembly to be built

is already broken, you need to explodeto ungroup the objects that are parts of another object or a component

In Tekla Structures, it is possible to explode components, cast units, assemblies, bent plates, parts that have attached parts, and drawing shapes and plugins.

The exploded objects cannot be reverted back to the original group.

The dimensions arrows were positioned incorrectly when you were using the setting Visibility of reinforcing bars in group with the option two bars in the middle of group. This has now been fixed.

Export Unitechnik (79): Production thickness export for double walls has been changed. With the option Cast unit width the cast unit thickness is exported for both shells.

Export Unitechnik (79): Reinforcing bars exported as embeds now have the bendings exported with correct projected geometry.

Export Unitechnik (79): 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.

Point clouds can be placed by the model origin or by a defined base point.

density issue with scaled point clouds has been fixed.

In DWG export, there is now a new check to see if files can be written to before the export starts. You are also prompted to close the files. If an exported file already exists, a dialog box is displayed asking if you want to overwrite the existing files.

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

is now fixed to be material thickness plus the tolerance value.

Previously, selecting two bolts and right-clicking caused Tekla Structures to crash. This happened when the first part you had selected was a cast-in-place part. This has now been fixed.

The Arrange marks and Align marks commands did not use correct information in Undo history. This has now been fixed.

Slanted symbols are now correctly printed and exported.

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.

button, and then clicked another selection or snap switch button, the button you had clicked first also stayed selected for some time. This happened when a firm or project folderfolder that is used for storing Tekla Structures-related files customized for a particular project
