Defect number Development area Description
TSAC-2395 Concrete components In Wall layout, an error message is now shown in some situations to avoid Tekla Structures from crashing. This error message "Z0" is harmless but we recommend that you save your model when the message is shown.
TSAC-2896 Concrete components In Embedded anchors (8), you can now define a rounding value for anchor distances on the Placement tab.
TSAC-3366 Concrete components The Mesh bars and Mesh bars by area dialog boxes are now opened without an error message.

TSAC-3336 Steel components Create hole around part (92): Previously, when the profile length was shorter than the profile height, the cut was created incorrectly. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-2653 Task Manager Previously, changing the parent task of a task by decreasing the indent could cause some other tasks to be deleted in Task manager. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-2797 Import, export, interoperability Layout manager: When importing from a layout point file, the name of the group that will be used is now always based on the name of the imported file.
TSAC-3141 Import, export, interoperability Layout manager: Using the current work plane is now supported. You can now import or export points relative to the current work plane in the model.
TTSD-27454 Import, export, interoperability IFC object conversion: Curved walls were not converted in the correct orientation. This has now been fixed.

TTSD-22294 Templates and reports Template Editor: Numbers that exceed the length field of a template are now correctly truncated with * symbols
TTSD-27756 Templates and reports PDF reports had incorrect page breaks. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-28854 Templates and reports Modifying a report in Template Editor was very slow. This has now been fixed and the performance of Template Editor has been improved.
TTSD-29114 Templates and reports Textual and graphical report templates, except mark templates, can now be read from any subfolder of the XS_FIRM or XS_PROJECT folders.
TSAC-2534 Drawings In Drawing 2D library, the colors Gray 30, Gray 50, Gray 70 and Gray 90 are now correctly converted in 2D details.
TSAC-3083 Drawings Views created by the Drawing 2D library can now be rotated.
TSAC-3156 Drawings When you are creating a 2D detail in Drawing 2D library, all the necessary steps are now shown in the status bar at the bottom of the Tekla Structures window.
TSAC-3157 Drawings You can now use multiple symbols when creating a new detail in Drawing 2D Library. All symbols in the detail will have their own properties.
TSAC-3263 Drawings Rebar group marking: Total number in cast unit is now correct for rebar sets.
TSAC-3264 Drawings Template attributes created with the Rebar group dimensioning and Rebar group marking tools now work correctly in dimension marks.
TSAC-3325 Drawings Rebar group dimensioning: Rebar group dimensioning no longer causes crashes. The crashes were caused by incorrect part bounding boxes and incorrectly counted view restriction boxes.
TTSD-20373 Drawings In the Layout editor, moving several templates at once with the Move command now works more reliably.
TTSD-24534 Drawings The center-to-center distance in bolt marks now works more reliably.
TTSD-26235 Drawings There were dimension points missing in copied and linked views. Now dimensions with points that do not have associativity can be copied and linked to another drawing.
TTSD-28665 Drawings Previously, in some cases, cast unit drawings could not be opened because graphical objects, such as rectangles, circles, clouds, and polygons, were not rendered correctly. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-29018 Drawings Moving drawing views from one drawing to another is now more reliable.
TTSD-29496 Drawings DWG drawing export: Exporting multidrawings as DWG files is now more reliable.
TTSD-29639 Drawings Previously, moving part marks with leader lines could sometimes cause Tekla Structures to crash. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-27196 Tekla Model Sharing Previously, when a reference model was locked locally before read in, you had to reopen the model to update the reference model version. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-27827 Tekla Model Sharing The following fixes have been made in Tekla Model Sharing:
- The green arrow on the Read in button is now shown correctly if there are no packets available to read in.
- Previously, if model changes were written out too many times within a short time frame, Tekla Structures sometimes lost track of the changes and could not show the number of packets that users could read in. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-27901 Reinforcement All template attributes starting with CRANK_ can now be used to report crank properties when cranking is created by using end detail modifiers.
TTSD-27964 Reinforcement Previously, Tekla Structures crashed when you copied rebar set properties and other objects were selected along with the target rebar set. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-28607 Reinforcement Previously, Tekla Structures could crash if a rebar set contained an end detail modifier defining a custom hook with zero angle. Sometimes such hook definitions could also prevent the model from being opened. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-24624 Modeling Snapping in the orthogonal Z direction has been improved. It is now easier to shorten or lengthen a column, for example.
TTSD-27047 Modeling Previously, if there was a conflict in a multi-user model and you clicked Review in the conflict message dialog box, Tekla Structures showed an error message when you viewed the conflict log. Now the error message is not shown anymore in conflict situations.
TTSD-28434 Modeling Previously, a model with rebar sets could not be reopened after repairing the model if XS_DELETE_UNNECESSARY_INT_ARRAYS was set to TRUE. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-28673 Modeling Previously, classifying some shapes as non-solids was not correct. Now these shapes are classified as solids.
TTSD-28722 Modeling When you added a new grid line, or removed or dragged an existing grid line of a rotated rectangular grid using direct modification, the grid was not modified correctly. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-28936 Modeling Empty values in the chamfer properties will now be saved as a length of 0 units. This fix also removes the crash that happened in place of the desired behavior.
TTSD-28962 Modeling Previously, when you added a new grid line in a rectangular grid using direct modification, if the neighboring grid lines were located at fractional coordinates, the grid line was not added and the grid labels disappeared. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-29032 Modeling In the Object Group - View Filter dialog box, the values in the Property column no longer disappear when entered with a space at the end of the value.
TTSD-29109 Modeling When you create lofted plates using two construction objects, after you have selected the first construction object and you place the mouse pointer on the second construction object, Tekla Structures now shows a preview of the lofted plate boundaries.
TTSD-29167 Modeling Object filters are now correctly loaded from the subfolders of the XS_FIRM and XS_PROJECT folders.
TTSD-29400 Modeling Earlier, when diagnosing models containing spiral beams with a 360-degree turn and no total rise, model inconsistencies were reported. When repairing such models, these spiral beams were removed from the models. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-29673 Modeling Parts whose material is Formwork_undefined are no longer added to the pour unit when you use the Calculate pour units command. However, you can manually add these parts to pour units if the cast unit type is precast.
TTSD-29706 Modeling Previously, moving a bolt caused its phase to reset to 0. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-29820 Modeling Profiles with zero decimals (for example, C130X2.0) were not shown correctly in the model (their detailed shape was lost and did not contain roundings, for example). This applied to fixed profiles which were created from sketched profiles. Now this has been fixed.
TTSD-30048 Modeling Previously, saving a multi-user model reset the phase numbers to the current phase. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-26713 Core Trimble Connector has been updated to a new version, with updated identity handling.

TSAC-2579 Tools and components Sometimes, it was not possible to open the Layout line dialog box by double-clicking the thumbnail image in the Applications & components catalog. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-3381 Tools and components The Custom Component Dialog Editor now opens when you select a custom component in the model, right-click, and select Edit Custom Component Dialog Box.
TTSD-27198 Tools and components Previously, clash check could fail to detect clashes involving rebar sets with hooks. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-27237 User interface Sometimes, when you created a view, the work plane was moved to the model origin. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-27766 User interface The work plane was sometimes moved to the model origin when the view was created of the selected objects. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-28663 User interface Previously, when you modified a UDA that did not affect numbering by using the property pane, Tekla Structures still considered the model object as needing renumbering. Now this does not happen anymore.
TTSD-28996 User interface The following visibility issues have been improved:
  • Concrete will now be transparent after creating rebar groups.
  • Construction objects are now visible when selected.
TTSD-29273 User interface Earlier, it was not possible to add rectangular or radial grid and grid plane UDAs to the property pane. This now has been fixed.
TTSD-29328 User interface Rebars are now visualized correctly also when they are very far away from the model origin.
TTSD-29452 User interface In some rare cases when dragging a table in Layout editor, the Tekla Structures user interface was no longer responding. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-3357 Import, export, interoperability (concrete) Export Unitechnik (79): On the Reinforcement tab, you can now select to export braced girders within the STEELMAT block. By default, the braced girders are exported outside of the STEELMAT block.
