TSAC-3030 | Concrete components | Previously, in Wall layout connector, the layer-specific attributes (framing case and offsets) in the Wall layout connector dialog box and the actual connection in the model did not match. This issue appeared when the connected primary wall layout had any surfaces other than the last layer. |
TSAC-3031 | Concrete components | In Wall layout, UDA values are now set for the surface treatment when it is the first layer. |
TSAC-2226 | Steel components | In Hollow brace wraparound gusset (59), the seal plate was not previously created when the weld length was set to be smaller than zero. This has now been fixed. |

TSAC-2956 | Steel components | In Joist to beam, type 1 (160), the location of the secondary part handle no longer affects the created joist cuts. |
TSAC-3038 | Steel components | In Stiffened end plate (27) and Partial stiffened end plate (65), the fitting of the secondary part was previously incorrectly created in some cases. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-311 | Steel components | In Tube splice (6), the creation of welds between the splice plates and the input parts has been improved. |
TSAC-857 | Steel components | Seat type 5 (60) does not create an unwanted fitting anymore. |
TTSD-27752 | Organizer | Organizer performance has now been improved in situations where you open an old model in an environment where a substantial number of property definitions has been changed. |
TTSD-25325 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC object conversion: Some B-rep cuts were not created correctly, which caused slowness. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-25462 | Import, export, interoperability | Reference models: Hovering with the mouse over a reference model no longer highlights all reference model objects, only the pointed reference object, to improve the performance. Complete reference model is still selected as before, when clicked. |
TTSD-25692 | Import, export, interoperability | Reference models: Conversion factors from metric to imperial have been added to IFC reference models. |
TTSD-26132, TTSD-26655 | Import, export, interoperability | The profile mapping now works in the following way:
|
TTSD-26532 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC Object Conversion of steel contour plates uses the prefix defined for plates in Component settings (File > Settings > Options > Profile name > Plate) as the prefix for native plates. You can use prefixes that are supported by your environment. |
TTSD-27005 | Templates and reports | The pull-out attribute now displays the angle values in graphical fields in drawing templates. |
TSAC-2104 | Drawings | Rebar pull-out picture and marking: Rebar pull-out pictures dimension text placement has been improved. Previously dimensions were switched, this has now been fixed. |
TSAC-2634 | Drawings | In Rebar group marking, the Lines and symbol tab now has a new functionality for drawing a symbol on the distribution line and leader line intersection. The functionality for rebar symbols is now on the new Symbols on rebars tab. |
TSAC-2686 | Drawings | Rebar group marking: A new setting was added on the Mark1 tab to set the text distance from the leader line. |
TSAC-2928 | Drawings | Rebar group dimensioning: Previously, single bar rebar groups gave incorrect number values. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-17420 | Drawings | Skewed or squashed symbols (with unequal height and width) containing arcs were drawn incorrectly in some cases. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-20285 | Drawings | Adding or updating drawing mesh marks of outline meshes sometimes rotated the marks 90 degrees. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-25125 | Drawings | Clipping non-solid imported items now works better in drawings. |
TTSD-25597 | Drawings | Previously, setting the XS_BOLT_DUPLICATE_IGNORE to TRUE removed the bolts in duplicate holes from GA drawings. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-27840 | Drawings | The section marks are no longer referring to wrong views. |
TTSD-15628 | Tekla Model Sharing | Previously, when a multi-user model was converted into a shared model, inserting an object could appear twice in the object history. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-16162 | Tekla Model Sharing | The appearance of usernames in the history of shared models has been unified. The usernames are now shown in the domain\name format. |
TTSD-25994 | Tekla Model Sharing | Tekla Model Sharing: - If writing out a shared model fails, the model sharing log and the error log now show more details about the failure. - Shared models can now be saved even if some of the saved files are locked by other applications, such as antivirus software. |
TTSD-26304 | Tekla Model Sharing | In some situations, conflicts in the model could cause the error " Note: There may be other reasons for this error. If you experience this error with versions at or above those listed here, contact your local support. |
TSAC-2576 | Reinforcement | Rebar shape manager has been changed so that multiple sequential bendings which form an arc are combined into one or more bendings (90 degrees or less) with the arc radius. This makes it possible to define bending shapes containing a large radius bending no matter how many individual bendings appear in the original bar geometry. This functionality is in use when you set the new XS_REBAR_COMBINE_BENDINGS_IN_EVALUATOR advanced option to TRUE . The advanced option can also be set in a suitable .ini file:SET XS_REBAR_COMBINE_BENDINGS_IN_EVALUATOR=TRUE When the advanced option is set to FALSE (which is the default value), the bendings appear as multiple bendings and the shape is recognized as before. |
TSAC-2605 | Reinforcement | In Rebar shape manager, a new tolerance value, Curve tolerance, has been added to the Tolerances tab. This value is used for recognizing the arc in a rebar that has multiple sequential bendings. If the deviation of the rebar leg from the arc is less than the tolerance, multiple bendings are combined to one (or two) bendings with the arc radius as the bending radius. |
TTSD-16302 | Modeling | Weld position is now available on the contextual toolbar in the Construction modeling configuration. |
TTSD-24549 | Modeling | Models created with Tekla Structures versions older than 2017 could get corrupted if they were saved while runtime IDs were disabled. Saving models will now fail if runtime IDs are disabled, which will prevent models from being corrupted for that reason. |
TTSD-25123 | Modeling | Previously, cross sections could sometimes get incorrectly renamed with a redundant extension " 2", when automatically renamed after importing profiles (for example, "A100 2 2", or "A100 2 2 2 2"). Now the deduplication numbers in cross section names are incremented correctly (for example, "A100 3", "A100 4", and so on). |
TTSD-25515 | Modeling | When using the Ortho tool, the snap symbol is now again shown as the snap to any position symbol. |
TTSD-25571 | Modeling | Deleting the latest used shape from the Shape catalog does not prevent inserting the following items anymore. |
TTSD-25981 | Modeling | Performance issues in user-defined sketched profile use have been fixed. |
TTSD-26117 | Modeling | Saving the model with Save as could take a long time because Tekla Structures was recreating drawings. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-26240 | Modeling | Previously, profiles whose SUB_TYPE was defined without quotation marks in the .lis file could not be imported. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-26395 | Modeling | When you create a concrete or a steel item, the Undo history dialog box now properly shows the correct command name. Previously, the dialog box listed Direct modification as the last command. |
TTSD-26760 | Modeling | Previously, when you loaded a property file that did not contain the assembly numbering value in the property pane, Tekla Structures would crash. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-26815 | Modeling | The Work plane handler toolbar now works better when saving multi-user models (save and model reopen). The toolbar now keeps the set work plane when saving the model. |
TTSD-27870 | Modeling | Snapping to the nearest point now works when using the Ortho tool. |
TSAC-1998 | Tools and components | Creating a new group and selecting this group in Layout manager could cause an error when the Group Prefix option in the Layout manager Settings dialog box was empty. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-23219 | Tools and components | Layout points now remain visible at all zoom levels, when previously they were reverted into sticks at zoom levels. |
TTSD-25514 | User interface | The last used contextual toolbar profile is now correctly stored in the registry. Previously, it was overwritten when you started Tekla Structures again. |
TTSD-25935 | User interface | The Selection filter list on the Selecting toolbar is now updated in real time when you modify the filters in the Object Group - Selection Filter dialog box. |
TSAC-2888 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | BVBS Export: The Advanced tab now contains new options for rounding rebar lengths for 2D bent bars. Mesh and 3D rebars are not affected. To round the lengths, first select an option for the Round setting. The options are: Yes - UseS the nearest rounding value. Up - Rounds the lengths up. Down - Rounds the lengths down. The new option Round lengths to rounds the total rebar lengths in the corresponding BVBS field in the header block, and the available values are 1, 5, 10, and 25. The new option Round leg lengths to rounds the leg lengths in the geometry block, and the available values are 1, 5, and 10. 1 is the default value for both options. |
TSAC-4357 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export EliPLAN file (68): It is now possible using options Project number and Project name on tab page Data content to specify the project number and project name in the exported file. |
