Fixes
| Defect number | Development area | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 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-3396 | Concrete components | Hollowcore reinforcement strands (60) has two improvements: In the .dat file, it is now possible to add additional grids for strand patterns. The new grids can be assigned to a strand pattern by adding the stand pattern name after the grid, for example, Profile-name'_GRID_'Strand-pattern'.Also, the Pull value boxes on the Strand pattern tab are now enabled when the distances are defined by an external file. It is now possible to overwrite the pull of a strand. If the pull value is empty, the pull values of the .dat file are used. |
| 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-3652 | Concrete components | Embedded anchors (8), Lifting anchor (80): The components now properly create C++ custom parts and take their attribute files into account. .Net components are not yet supported. |
| TSAC-3738 | Concrete components | Sandwich and double wall can again be placed by entering a numeric location. |
| TSAC-3920 | Concrete components | Braced girder creation (88) (89): For sidebars (bar C) created as steel rods, the bending radius is now applied properly. |
| TSAC-3964 | Concrete components | Starter bars for footing (87): Corner bars and side bars now take the values of the standard hooks when the hook length or bending radius values are empty on the Picture tab. |
| TSAC-3984 | Concrete components | Embedded anchors (8): A warning message is now shown when unknown material is detected in the input assembly. |
| TSAC-4048 | Concrete components | Concrete console (110): Previously, incorrect extra secondary parts were selected when using the Cut extra secondary parts option. This has now been fixed. |
| 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-4089 | Concrete components | Mesh bars and Mesh bars by area: The direct modification dimensioning now considers spliced bars as just one bar. This shows a cleaner and faster dimension line when using direct modification. |
| TSAC-4108 | Concrete components | Corbels and recesses (82): The rotation value is now correctly displayed in decimal. Previously, the units were incorrectly converted when imperial units were in place. |
| TSAC-4131 | Concrete components | Starter bars for pillar (86), Starter bars for footing (87): Rebars are now created as single bars instead of one bar rebar groups. |
| TSAC-4156 | Concrete components | Embedded anchors (8): Custom component creation settings now have a new option to check the top in form face of the cast unit and to adapt the direction of custom components based on this setting. |
| TSAC-4173 | Concrete components | Reinforcement mesh array in area (89): The cover thickness of the created meshes is now applied properly for all types of mesh area perimeters. |
| TSAC-4234 | Concrete components | Wall layout tools: The wall layout opening face handle has been changed to two crossing lines to allow easier selection of openings, and to make editing of opening boundaries easier. Wall layout opening modification from the component dialog box is now more robust. |
| TSAC-1901 | Steel components | Unfold surface (21): Bolts are now created in the correct position when the final unfolded plate is created as a union of the unfolded plates. |
| TSAC-1920 | Steel components | Pipe doubler plate: Previously, the component created chamfers to the first and last point of the plate, which caused problems in the polybeam. 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-240 | Steel components | Bent plate (151): Previously, the component created double notches on the top flange. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-2723 | Steel components | Cap plate detail: When switching off all check boxes in the component dialog box, the Class check box on the Parts tab is now also switched off. |
| 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-3383 | Steel components | Shear plate simple (146): Previously, the bolt option Below did not have its reference distance to the lowest bolt of the bolt group. 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-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-3914 | Steel components | Two sided end plate (142): Creating the component with secondary parts as C profiles has now been improved. |
| 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-4011 | Steel components | Splice connection (77): Welds between the deck plates and input parts now have the correct direction. |
| TSAC-4049 | Steel components | Seating with dowel (75), Two sided seating with dowel (76), Seating with dowel to flange (77), Two sides seating with dowel to flange (78): The components now properly create C++ custom parts and take their attribute files into account. .Net components are not yet supported. |
| TSAC-4059 | Steel components | Column - 2 beam (14): Previously, the component did not work correctly when the secondary part profile was a C or U profile. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-4076 | Steel components | Shear plate simple (146): Previously, the bolt protection area was created too large, and it cut unwanted parts of the secondary beam. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-4077 | Steel components | Column with stiffeners W (182): Previously, the bolt protection area was created too large, and it cut unwanted parts of the secondary beam. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-4078 | Steel components | Column with stiffeners S (187): Previously, the bolt protection area was created too large, and it cut unwanted parts of the secondary beam. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-4101 | Steel components | Web stiffened end plate (1016): Previously, the additional beam name was also applied as the additional beam finish. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-4176 | Steel components | Cage ladder (S60): Previously, when the ladder width was greater than the cage radius, the ladder creation was not working. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-4210 | Steel components | U.S. Base plate (1047): Anchor rods are now created correctly when a composite of welded parts is used as the input part of the component. |

| TTSD-31540 | Import, export, interoperability | The DWG export now uses the units that have been defined for the current model in the Options dialog box. |
| TTSD-34498 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC2x3 export: You can now export all project properties as property set properties with IFC2x3 export. |
| 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-34978 | Import, export, interoperability | Point clouds: The point cloud functionality had issue with special characters like "ß". This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-35407 | Import, export, interoperability | DWG export: Some relative image paths did not work correctly in drawing DWG export, now they do. |
| TTSD-35417 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC4 export: In the export dialog box, if the name of the additional property set contained spaces, the text after the space disappeared. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-36050 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC2x3 export: Previously, the IFC2x3 export exported bolts as transparent. This has been fixed. |
| TPLED-145 | Templates and reports | The contents of the hidden templates in drawings are no longer calculated, which reduces the drawing opening time. |

| TTSD-30197 | Drawings | A crash could occur when you tried to write and then open a PDF file with an invalid file name. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-30910 | Drawings | Rectangle objects are now displayed correctly in drawings. |
| TTSD-32203 | Drawings | In the Finland environment, saving standard print settings resulted in two standard entries in the settings file list. This has now been fixed by renaming the incorrectly named standard.PdfPrintOptions.xml settings file in the Finland environment to PdfPrintOptions.xml. |
| TTSD-33763 | Drawings | Now the placement of angular dimensions, radial dimensions and curved dimensions with orthogonal reference lines is set to Fixed when you have dragged the dimension if the advanced option XS_CHANGE_DRAGGED_DIMENSIONS_TO_FIXED is set to TRUE. |

| TTSD-34919 | Drawings | In single-part, cast unit and assembly drawings, Tekla Structures sometimes incorrectly combined end views so that only one of them was visible, and both had an A symbol. This happened only in view-specific dimensioning if you had selected something else than Integrated dimensioning. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-34938 | Drawings | Perpendicular leader lines for marks in drawings now retain their shape when you drag them while holding down the Shift key. |
| TTSD-34960 | Drawings | Cloning drawings with moved views resulted in empty drawings. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-35012 | Drawings | In the .htc file for hatch pattern settings, material names can now be 32 characters long. Previously, the character limit was 21 characters. |

| TTSD-29710 | Modeling | Previously, certain Logitech mouse drivers could cause a crash when the middle wheel was tilted (horizontal scroll). This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-30247 | Modeling | Previously, when you had modified parts with bolt groups and tried to undo the changes, the Undo command did not work correctly. This has now been fixed. |
| 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-32859 | Modeling | Previously, the coordinate symbol did not follow the local coordinate system when the view was created with the On plane command. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-35345 | Modeling | Trimble Connect Visualizer: Previously, if you mapped a Tekla Structures material to a fixed Trimble Connect Visualizer material, such as glass, Tekla Structures warned you about duplicate material. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-35740 | Modeling | Copying construction circles with the Copy with offset command did not work in the z direction. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-36288 | Modeling | The sketch editor is not closed anymore when saving the sketched profile using the Save sketch and Save sketch as buttons. |
| TTSD-35456 | Tools and components | Tekla Structures sometimes crashed when you used custom components with .dat files in several models during a single Tekla Structures session. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-35464 | Tools and components | Modifying a system component previously produced a status bar message: Outdated component was updated to match the current component definition. Now the message is only displayed for modified and updated custom components. |
| TTSD-33950 | Numbering | Modifying a rebar UDA, which should affect numbering, did not flag the parent part/cast unit numbering as out-of-date. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33055 | User interface | Previously, when customizing the contextual toolbar for construction arcs, lines and polycurves, the preview was not shown. Also, customization was not working. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-34855 | User interface | The part numbering series for concrete objects cannot be retrieved and modified using the property pane anymore. If you want to have your own part numbering series for certain concrete objects, the old steel part properties dialog box can be used. You can open it by typing steel beam properties into the Quick Launch box. |
| TSAC-3995, TSAC-4186 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export ELiPLAN file (68) improvements:
|
| TSAC-4019 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export ELiPLAN file (68): Using the new option Plot irregular cutout/recess - As lines on the Plotter data tab you can export bounding box cutouts/recesses that overlap a diagonal edge as lines. |
| TSAC-4075 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): You can now specify that reinforcement type 1 rebars will always be the lowest rebars of a mesh regardless of the mesh orientation on the pallet. To do this, use the new Reinforcement types option Bottom rebar = type 1 on the Reinforcement tab. |
| TSAC-4161 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): You can now specify a special embed using class or name with the new setting Special formwork for embed on the Line attributes tab. The edge of the exported contour with this specified embed will then be exported with code 0002 by default. |
| TSAC-4170 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, some cut bent meshes were exported with incorrectly unfolded geometry. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-4220 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Now, when there are the multiple wire sizes for the same direction of wires in the STEELMAT block, they are exported with the same concrete cover (the same Z coordinate offset). |
