Fixes
| Defect number | Development area | Description |
|---|---|---|
| TSAC-1748 | Concrete components | Wall layout opening: Selecting the opening with rollover highlight switched on has been optimized. |
| TSAC-2852 | Concrete components | Layout tools: The UDA files floorlayout.objects.inp and WallLayout.Udas.dat UDA files are now correctly read from the firm, project, and model folders. |
| TSAC-3377 | Concrete components | Wall layout: Previously, the wall layout was not created to the correct elevation if the height option "Z0+Z1" was applied. The preview showed correct elevation, though. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3386 | Concrete components | Concrete foundation (1030): Previously, there was an extra distance in the model when offsetting the created tubes and rebars. This extra distance has been removed. Now the distance corresponds with the values set in the component dialog box. |
| TSAC-3401 | Concrete components | Wall layout elementation: The distances in the crane properties are now properly converted to ft-in units when using imperial unit settings. |
| TSAC-3413 | Concrete components | Wall layout has been improved for mirrored layouts. Previously, after the wall layout was copied as mirrored the layout needed to be updated. Using direct modification also caused the layers to be flipped. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3516 | Concrete components | Mesh bars: The bars now always have at least the minimum length set in the Mesh bars dialog box. |
| TSAC-3556 | Concrete components | Embedded anchors (8): Previously, only concrete parts have been taken into calculations when using the Assembly without steel parts option on the Placement tab. This has now been fixed and miscellaneous parts are also considered. |
| TSAC-3569 | Concrete components | Two sided seating with dowel (76): The drainage hole is now generated properly around custom parts. |
| TSAC-3571 | Concrete components | Rectangular column reinforcement (83): Bottom/Top crank geometry offset is now applied properly. |
| TSAC-3723 | Concrete components | Mesh bars: Creating bars using the Number of bars option now works correctly. |
| TSAC-3882 | Concrete components | Wall layout opening: Filler part attributes are not placed between quotation marks anymore. |
| TSAC-3885 | Concrete components | Previously, parts added to cast units in Geometry detailing strip were incorrectly created when the reference points were beyond part edges. This was mostly visible at wall layout openings, and it has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3886 | Concrete components | Wall to wall connection can now be used on beams based on b×h. |
| TSAC-3955 | Concrete components | Reinforced concrete stair (95): The top mesh bars and top anchor are now created properly when the top landing has recesses. |
| TSAC-3966 | Concrete components | Wall layout seam: Previously, modifying the seam gap/center offset was difficult when the wall layout had any surface layers. This issue has now been fixed. The reason for this issue was that the component dialog box showed the gap/offset of the surface layer even if it could not be modified. An extra manual selection of the layer was required to activate the correct structural layer. |
| TSAC-4065 | Concrete components | Wall layout seam: Previously, seams created with components did not work correctly when the wall layout had surfaces. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-2363 | Steel components | Cold rolled overlap (1): Previously, the default position for bolts did not work correctly and the bolt group was not created centered on the profile. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-307 | Steel components | Tapered column-beam stub (150): Previously, the bottom weld access hole cut was incorrectly created. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-320 | Steel components | Unfold surface (21): Previously, multiple cuts were created in the same position when the component had been modified using the Modify button. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3416 | Steel components | Column with stiffeners W (182), Column with stiffeners S (187) and JP floor beam gusset (11): Previously, the component disappeared when the same component was created near to it. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3436 | Steel components | Purlin 1 (61): Previously, the bolts did not bolt all input parts in some situations. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3479 | Steel components | Shear plate simple (146): Previously, the flanges of the secondary beam were cut to avoid the collision with rounding areas of the main part also when the secondary beam was already cut back from the main part web. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3530 | Steel components | Gusseted cross (62): The default bolt spacing for angle bolts is now the same both when you enter the number of bolts and when you do not enter the number of bolts. |
| TSAC-3531 | Steel components | Brace middle tubes and plate (144): Connection plates are now bolted to the gusset plate in the correct order. |
| TSAC-3670 | Steel components | Working with the Ship ladder (1) component is now must faster than before. |
| TSAC-3693 | Steel components | Brace corner tubes and plate (44): Connection plates are now bolted to the gusset plate in the correct order. |
| TSAC-3702 | Steel components | Shear plate simple (146): When the secondary part was already cut before applying the component, incorrect part geometry was used when positioning bolts. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3713 | Steel components | Central brace tube conn Pl (50): Previously, there was a gap between the connection plate and gusset plate when using the component to connect only one secondary part. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3744 | Steel components | Column - 2 beam (14): Previously, the plate between the column and beams was created incorrectly when the bolt offset from the plate center line was specified. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3795 | Steel components | Create hole around part (92): Previously, the hole was incorrectly rotated in some cases. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3829 | Steel components | Two sided clip angle (143): Previously, when the bolt dimensions on the BoxPBolts tab were smaller than the bolt dimensions on the BoxSBolts tab, the angle boxes were created incorrectly. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3837 | Steel components | Bent plate (151): Previously, stiffeners were not created with the correct length. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3839 | Steel components | Column seating (39): Previously, the stiffeners were created with incorrect width. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3874 | Steel components | U.S. Base plate (1047): Previously, when one row or column of bolts was defined, the edge distance of the bolts was incorrect. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3925 | Steel components | Stairs (S71): Previously, the error message "Illegal input" was shown even when the component was created correctly. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3926 | Steel components | Splice connection (77): Previously, the weld preparation cut for weld number 7 was created incorrectly. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3967 | Steel components | Stair base detail (1038): Previously, all welds in the component were created twice in the same place. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-4011 | Steel components | Splice connection (77): Welds between the deck plates and input parts now have the correct direction. |
| TSAC-917 | Steel components | Angle profile box (1040): Upper stiffener thickness, width and height are now correctly applied. |
| TTSD-31350 | Organizer | Previously, synchronization in Organizer was cancelled when the selection in the model was changed. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-19302 | Import, export, interoperability | You cannot accidentally snap anymore to the reference model extrema bounding box. |
| TTSD-22549 | Import, export, interoperability | DWG export: When exporting a drawing to DWG, part hatch pattern HSTON3E0 looked wrong if the scale was not the same in X and Y directions. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-29882 | Import, export, interoperability | DWG export: When exporting a drawing in US imperial environment, the preview window width was sometimes not enough to show the whole drawing. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-32858 | Import, export, interoperability | Trimble Connector: Previously in Trimble Connector, the Refresh button in the ToDo view did not synchronize data from Trimble Connect. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33077 | Import, export, interoperability | The .stp reference model insert speed has been improved. |
| TTSD-33216 | Import, export, interoperability | Trimble Connector: You can assign ToDos to all users in the Trimble Connect project properly again. |
| TTSD-33697 | Import, export, interoperability | Trimble Connector: You can now upload the same .skp reference model to Trimble Connect with a different name. |
| TTSD-34022 | Import, export, interoperability | Tekla Structures now supports Sketchup version 2020. |
| TTSD-34274 | Import, export, interoperability | Drawing DWG export is now more robust with symbol handling. |
| TTSD-34501 | Import, export, interoperability | TS;;Beam exported as an IfcMechanicalFasterner can now have additional property set properties. The properties are fetched from the TS::Beam object. |
| TTSD-34865 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC object conversion: All parametric C profile start and end points have now been switched. Earlier, they were incorrectly oriented after being converted to Tekla Structures parts. |
| TTSD-34954 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC2x3 export: The export sometimes used incorrect object colors when exporting using representation. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-32425 | Templates and reports | Creating reports of very large cast units could cause a crash. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33080 | Templates and reports | Template Editor: The CopyField() function now works correctly when used with multilevel hidden rows |
| TTSD-33291 | Templates and reports | Reports are now created a lot faster than before. |
| TTSD-33313 | Templates and reports | Template Editor: When a geometry object was edited in a template that also contained a picture object, the performance was poor, and the more you zoomed in, the worse the performance became. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-34112 | Templates and reports | Now when you resize a component by dragging the upper or lower handle, all object positions remain the same relative to the opposite side of the dragged handle. So if the top handle is dragged, the object remains in the same position relative to the bottom of the component. |
| TTSD-34611 | Templates and reports | In Template Editor, the Reset button was missing from the Picture Properties dialog box. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-22402, TTSD-29942 | Drawings | _BASEPOINT template attributes are now working for merged marks in drawings. |
| TTSD-28083 | Drawings | In GA drawings, opening symbols were not shown in reflected views, now they are shown as expected. |
| TTSD-28502 | Drawings | Adding surface treatment marks manually now works more reliably. |
| TTSD-30043, TTSD-31893 | Drawings | In some cases, opening and recess symbols in drawings could cause a crash. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-32338 | Drawings | In some cases, a file missing from the environment could cause a crash. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-32487 | Drawings | Tekla Structures crashed when you opened some specific drawings. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-32524 | Drawings | Curved dimensions in drawings can now be drawn with short extension lines. Earlier, the Short extension line setting in dimension properties did not work for curved dimensions. |
| TTSD-32728 | Drawings | Reference models that were not visible in the drawing could sometimes extend the drawing restriction box unnecessarily. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-32762 | Drawings | Korean language characters in dimension tags were not displayed correctly. This has now been fixed. The fix can be taken into use by adding the advanced option XS_ENABLE_DIMENSION_TAG_CHARACTER_SET_FIX=TRUE in an .ini file, for example, user.ini. Unfortunately, when the fix is taken into use, the tag mark content Size is displayed incorrectly (?00*800? instead of (400*800), therefore the default value is FALSE. |
| TTSD-33642 | Drawings | Adding revisions to drawings with tables that contain the NUMBER attribute now works correctly. |
| TTSD-33730 | Drawings | UDAs were not loaded to the drawing properties dialog boxes if the User-defined attributes section in the properties dialog box had not been opened first. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33788, TTSD-33790 | Drawings | Manually created detail marks can now be: - moved using Shift+drag - copied using Ctrl+drag Note that the detail marks can only be moved or copied within a view. When moved beyond the view frame, the view frame will adjust so that the detail mark will always be within it. |
| TTSD-34370 | Drawings | When dimensioning type Overall was used in section views, Tekla Structures created duplicate views with same section mark. Now this has been fixed and there is only one A-A view visible, for example. |
| TTSD-34381 | Drawings | Tekla Structures occasionally crashed when drawing bolt dimensions. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-34464 | Drawings | Merging bolt marks now works more reliably. |
| TTSD-34521 | Drawings | The Undo command now works more reliably for curved dimensions. |
| TTSD-34609 | Drawings | Manually created section marks can now be: • moved using Shift+drag • copied using Ctrl+drag Note that the section marks can only be moved or copied within a view. When moved beyond the view frame, the view frame will adjust so that the section mark will always be within the frame. |
| TTSD-34960 | Drawings | Cloning drawings with moved views resulted in empty drawings. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-30977 | Tekla Model Sharing | In Tekla Model Sharing, importing or exporting parametric user-defined profiles in the .lis format is no longer possible without a subtype. This will prevent creating broken or incorrect files. |
| TTSD-32744 | Tekla Model Sharing | Previously, changes made in the rebar catalog were not included in write-out packets, if the changed rebars were only used in rebar sets in the shared model. This has now been fixed, so that all rebar catalog changes are included in write-out packets. |
| TTSD-34133 | Tekla Model Sharing | When a shared model is read in, and Tekla Structures sets the rebar numbering in drawings as not up to date because of numbering conflicts, the part numbering and the cast unit numbering are now also set as not up to date. |
| TTSD-35246 | Tekla Model Sharing | Previously, when you modified drawing properties in a shared model, the changes list could sometimes be disabled. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-13154 | Reinforcement | The visualization of curved and circular reinforcing bars containing hooks has been improved where previously the hook bending was not correctly represented. |
| TTSD-15678 | Reinforcement | The threading visualization used in rebar sets is now also available for reinforcing bar groups and single reinforcing bars. |
| TTSD-7959, TTSD-31577 | Reinforcement | Split rebar groups are now mirrored correctly. |
| TTSD-8028, TTSD-8098 | Reinforcement | Tapered (or tapered ridge, tapered curved) rebar groups with excess exact spacing values are now mirrored correctly. |
| TTSD-8097 | Reinforcement | Previously, when direct modification was used to create exact spacings and a zero/negative end offset for a rebar group, the rebar group was not mirrored correctly. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-16351 | Modeling | Previously, pour breaks did not work in some cases when the parts forming the pour were very slightly tilted. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-29779 | Modeling | Previously, option type UDAs could only have 50 options in the list of options. This issue appeared when using the side pane, Organizer, or in the Open API. Now option type UDAs can have 400 options. |
| TTSD-30036 | Modeling | Shapes that are inserted to a model are now copied to the model folder. |
| TTSD-32798 | Modeling | When you selected assembly objects using the ALT key and the assembly contained a macro, inquiring the center of gravity caused Tekla Structures to crash. This does not happen anymore. |
| TTSD-32919 | Modeling | Previously, Tekla Structures could crash when creating a model on a file server. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33288 | Modeling | Previously, pour breaks did not work in some cases where the parts forming the pour overlapped and shared a face. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33341 | Modeling | Previously, setting the work plane could in some cases cause small deviations in the accuracy of work plane coordinates. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33373 | Modeling | The contents of an assembly are now shown correctly when using the Assembly > Show assembly command. |
| TTSD-33390 | Modeling | The solid errors found in the currently open model are now shown in the report that opens when you use the Diagnose & repair > Diagnose model command on the File menu. |
| TTSD-33487 | Modeling | Tekla Structures model background colors are now correctly set back to the default colors when leaving the background color advanced options values empty. |
| TTSD-33754 | Modeling | Previously, if two or more pour objects overlapped and had overlapping pour breaks, deleting the pour break that had been created first also deleted the second pour break, even if the pour breaks were not dependent on each other. This does not happen anymore. You can now separately delete the pour breaks. |
| TTSD-34291 | Modeling | The notifications.xml file is now again saved in the <user>\AppData\Local\ folder. |
| TTSD-34345 | Modeling | Previously, Tekla Structures could crash in some cases related to polygon welds. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-34414, TTSD-33389 | Modeling | Previously, when running the Diagnose model command, Tekla Structures displayed a small warning dialog box. Now this warning dialog box is not shown anymore. |
| TTSD-5272 | Modeling | Pour breaks now work more reliably in cases where the parts forming a pour object partially touch each other. |
| TTSD-33171 | Analysis and design | When you modified a property in the Analysis model properties dialog box and clicked OK, and then used the Undo command, the modified property still stayed in the Analysis model properties dialog box. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-32726 | Tools and components | In custom components, bitmap (.bmp) images from the model folder are now correctly shown in the component dialog box. |
| TTSD-32086 | User interface | The contextual toolbar now loads the previously used contextual toolbar profile when Tekla Structures is started even if the profile file is saved in the firm folder. The firm folder location needs to be defined in the teklastructures.ini file. |
| TSAC-3481 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | BVBS Export: Previously, export was prevented if the intended output folder could not be found. Now the defined folder path is created. |
| TSAC-3517 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): You can now specify Output file structure as Single layer, 1 slabdate, n steelmats on the Main tab. This new option only exports the main part of the cast unit as SLABDATE, and meshes and embeds from whole cast unit in one row in export X axis direction with a 1 mm gap between them. |
| TSAC-3574 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | BVBS Export: When the Drawing name source property cannot be found, a message is now added to the export log. |
| TSAC-3656 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, line attributes were not exported for second shell of the double wall when Double wall turned was set to No, shell-specific coordinate systems on the TS configuration tab. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3704 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export EliPlan file (68): Previously, full depth cuts placed at hollow core profile chamfer lines with certain profiles were exported with incorrect geometry. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3705 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): STEELMAT insertion point, length and width were previously incorrectly exported for certain bent and unfolded meshes. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3736 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | BVBS Export: For the file name option [Assembly template], any assembly or main part USERDEFINED property can now be used even if they are not included in any of the contentattributes.lst files. |
| TSAC-3791 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export EliPlan file (68): Rectangular openings at the edge of hollow core slabs with certain profiles were occasionally exported as a thin line, instead of box-shape. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-4023 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Now, when there are multiple wire sizes in the same layer for the same direction of wires in the STEELMAT block, they are exported with the same concrete cover (the same Z coordinate offset). |
| TSAC-4024 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, some meshes, on a slightly inclined plane compared to pallet plane, were not correctly rotated to the pallet plane with option Meshes export: Turned to pallet. This has now been fixed. |
