Fixes
Defect number | Development area | Description |
---|---|---|
TSAC-4346 | Concrete components | Reinforcement mesh array (91): Mesh creation did not work on slabs that contained a great number of notches. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-3385, TSAC-4340, TSAC-4341 | Concrete components | Concrete foundation (1030) has been improved as follows:
Image
|
TSAC-3549 | Concrete components | Sandwich and double wall: Creating insulation at the corners has been improved in situations when the corner parts are smaller than the insulation itself.
|
TSAC-4302 | Concrete components | Wall layout connector: The gap defined using the Free space A option now works correctly for aligned walls. |
TSAC-4396 | Concrete components | Rectangular column reinforcement (83): You can now create intermediate links as one stirrup group with the Create as one group option on the Intermediate links tab. |
TSAC-4405 | Concrete components | Hollowcore reinforcement strands (60) now reads more values of the defined grid from external files. This allows you to add a bigger grid for the strands. This has been improved on the external files side only, and not in the dialog box, because of length limitations. |
TSAC-4411 | Concrete components | Reinforced concrete stair (95): Previously, floor-level profiles could be created in wrong positions or they were not created at all. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4435 | Concrete components | Concrete console (110) and Concrete beam-beam (112): Previously, when modifying the components with changes that did not affect numbering, the numbering was changed to not up to date. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4450 | Concrete components | Wall layout connector has been changed so that there is no crash when getting values and layers from a corrupted Wall layout component. Note that the Wall layout connector component is not adjusted or updated when one of the connected Wall layouts is moved. For this you still need to delete the corrupted connector and add a new one. |
TSAC-4487 | Concrete components | Pad footing reinforcement (77): The reinforcement is now created properly if you rotate the main part. |
TSAC-4530 | Concrete components | Mesh bars: Cover thickness is now applied correctly. The meshes in the panels no longer depend on the cuts in the panels. |
TSAC-4531 | Concrete components | Corbel reinforcement (81): The component is now created properly in situations where the corbel is smaller than the column. |
TSAC-4583 | Concrete components | Seating with dowel to flange (77), Two sided seating with dowel to flange (78): The bearing pad no longer collides with the column. |
TSAC-4622 | Concrete components | Previously, Wall layout layer swapper components were removed when repairing the model and/or ignored in shared models. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4699 | Concrete components | Mesh bars by area: The distribution of the negative cover thickness for bars has now been fixed. |
TSAC-3036 | Steel components | Stiffeners (1034): Previously, the gap between the stiffener and the main part web was incorrectly applied. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4282 | Steel components | Joist to beam, type 1 (160), Joist to column, type 1 (161), Two sided joist to column (162), Joist to column, type 2 (163), Joist to column and beam (164): The bolt extra length is now correctly applied in the component. |
TSAC-4307 | Steel components | Two sided end plate (142): Previously, the welds between the haunch plates and end plates were missing when a secondary part was skewed. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4308 | Steel components | Two sided end plate (142): Previously, welds number 1 and 5 were also used to weld haunch plates to the secondary parts. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4375 | Steel components | Extend full depth tab (82): Previously, bolts were created incorrectly in some situations. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4376 | Steel components | Column with stiffeners W (182): Previously, the weld properties in the component did not match the values set in the dialog box. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4398 | Steel components | Shear plate (103): Previously, bolt edge distances were not correct. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4399 | Steel components | Joist to column, type 1 (161): Previously, defining the cut back distance of the bottom chord caused the component to crash. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4428 | Steel components | Railings (S77): Previously, using the connection to connect middle rails to stanchions created the connection only for one rail. This has now been fixed and both rails are now connected to the stanchions as defined on the Middle rails tab. |
TSAC-4453 | Steel components | Base plate (1004), Web stiffened base plate (1016): Previously, the leveling plate did not follow the position of the additional beam. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4484 | Steel components | End plate (144): Previously, stiffeners were created in the same position when a connection was modeled in certain way. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4491 | Steel components | Seat type 9 (73): Previously, setting the number of bolts to 0 for the vertical or horizontal direction caused Tekla Structures to crash. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4501 | Steel components | Haunch (40): Previously, when two-sided haunches were created, some welds were missing for the second haunch. This has now been fixed, and all welds are created correctly. |
TSAC-4572 | Steel components | Gusseted cross (62): Previously, slotted holes for clip angles for the second brace were applied incorrectly in the component. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4594 | Steel components | Portal bracing (105): The default values for welding are now handled correctly. |
TSAC-4637 | Steel components | Column - 2 beam (14): Previously, plates were created with swapped width and height values. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4647 | Steel components | Truss (S78): Vertical beams are new created with the correct profile and correct properties. |
TSAC-4763 | Steel components | Wraparound gusset (58): The bolt assembly option for Brace bolts 1 now works correctly. |
TSAC-4809 | Steel components | Create hole around part (92): Cuts with the exact same shape as the input part are now correctly updated when the input part is moved. |
TSAC-970 | Steel components | Railings (S77): The start and end closures are now fitted to the first and last stanchion. |
TSAC-3134 | Import, export, interoperability | NC/DSTV: Before, when the diameter of a round cut was less than the maximum diameter for circular cuts to be drilled, these cuts were not exported to DSTV as drilled holes. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-29715 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC2x3 export: Radial grids are now exported properly. |
TTSD-34846 | Import, export, interoperability | Sometimes inserting a reference model failed because of special characters. Now all characters below 256 are allowed in a reference model file name: both ASCII (0-127) and extended ASCII (128-255). |
TTSD-36914 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC2x3 export: The Tapered curved rebar groups are no longer exported so that the self-intersecting bars are clashing (2D). |
TTSD-38844 | Import, export, interoperability | Reference models: Sometimes imported curved IFC beams appeared with rough segmenting. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38879 | Import, export, interoperability | Reference models: IFC reference model import has been improved to allow broken data if the object geometry data has extra unused points. |
TTSD-39252 | Import, export, interoperability | NC/DSTV: Closing the NC Files export dialog box no longer causes a Tekla Structures application error. |
TPLED-178 | Templates and reports | Previously, column headers were not positioned correctly in tables that were filled vertically from top to bottom and aligned to the right. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-34086 | Templates and reports | Drawing attributes could not be reported through a REBAR row if the row was outputting a rebar set bar. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-35705 | Templates and reports | In addition to the environment folders, graphical templates can be read from the XS_FIRM and XS_PROJECT folders. Previously, the \template folder was excluded from the template file search if it was a subfolder of XS_FIRM or XS_PROJECT . Now, the XS_FIRM\template and XS_PROJECT\template folders are included in the template file search. Drawing templates are searched from all XS_PROJECT and XS_FIRM folders, except for the hard coded folders like Organizer, or hard coded template folder subfolders. |
TTSD-38579 | Templates and reports | Drawing properties can now be reported from a CAST_UNIT row also if the drawing sheet number 0 is used. |
TTSD-39652 | Templates and reports | In some cases, custom properties returning double.Max could cause a Tekla Structures application error. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4697 | Drawings | Rebar group dimensioning: Dimensioning of rebar groups now works also if the father object is a concrete item. |
TTSD-20200 | Drawings | Previously, when you printed drawings to plot files, when a revision was included in a plot file name that contained a period (for example, a date), the revision text was not inserted in the correct location. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-24134 | Drawings | If an assembly contained a spiral beam, and a shape dimension rule was chosen for creating a drawing view, the creation and opening of the drawing took a long time, and the dimensions were incorrect. This can no longer happen, because shape dimensions are no longer created for an assembly containing a spiral beam. |
TTSD-27852 | Drawings | Previously, the sort order in Document Manager was reset when you saved a multi-user model. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-32458 | Drawings | Previously, Tekla Structures could sometimes crash when you moved several drawing views at one go from one drawing to another drawing. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-33468 | Drawings | Symbol files in the model were not used in printing if the same symbol file was present elsewhere (defined by DXK_SYMBOLPATH). This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-33595 | Drawings | Dimension associativity rules are now sorted and show more clearly if the rule is associated to a reference point. Image
|
TTSD-34642 | Drawings | NUMBER_IN_DRAWING regarding rebar groups was not updated correctly in an associative note. This got broken in another fix regarding rebar set groups, and has now been fixed. |
TTSD-35538, TTSD-33208 | Drawings | The Rebar number mark property is now correctly updated in rebar dimension marks with subgrouping for rebar sets after the model is updated and renumbered. |
TTSD-35642 | Drawings | A drawing view was placed incorrectly after model modification and renumbering. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-36525 | Drawings | Previously, layout files were randomly missing from exported drawing files when the layout files were read from XS_FIRM or XS_PROJECT folders. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-37023 | Drawings | Rebar group rebar dimensions could not be moved after their creation. You can now reposition the rebar dimensions as required. |
TTSD-37352 | Drawings | Lines that link rebar dimensions are now drawn using drawing coordinates instead of model coordinates. This means that reinforcement marks are placed correctly again. |
TTSD-37388 | Drawings | Previously, the line thickness was not updated in black and white drawing mode. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-37775 | Drawings | In some cases, adding a graphical object in a drawing caused Tekla Structures and Windows to freeze for several minutes. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-37800 | Drawings | When you change the value of the XS_BLACK_DRAWING_BACKGROUND advanced option, you no longer need to restart Tekla Structures to activate the new value. |
TTSD-38077, TTSD-39255 | Drawings | Drawing view level filter properties and dimensioning rules were not working from the XS_PROJECT and XS_FIRM subfolders. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38559 | Drawings | Previously, recreating cloned drawings added non-existing extra drawings to the drawing list in Document manager. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38604 | Drawings | If a drawing had shortening along the Y axis, cloud change marks were also shortened. This does not happen anymore. |
TTSD-39027 | Drawings | Sometimes Tekla Structures froze when you opened a drawing that contained graphical objects (polygons) with hatches. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-39216 | Drawings | Creating a polyline or a polygon in drawings no longer causes a Tekla Structures application error. |
TTSD-39500 | Drawings | In some cases, an active drawing command was not correctly finished when you closed the drawing mode, causing crashes and other invalid behavior. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-30917 | Tekla Model Sharing | If the value of XS_COLLECT_MODEL_HISTORY is FALSE when you start sharing a model, the Start sharing command will change the value to TRUE automatically. However, previously the Sharing history dialog box did not show the sharing history, even though the value had been changed to TRUE. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-35504, TTSD-37034 | Tekla Model Sharing | Previously in some situations, pour GUIDs between different Tekla Model Sharing users could go out of sync. Because of this, pour data was corrupted and Tekla Structures could crash during read-in. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-37935 | Tekla Model Sharing | Previously, start sharing and write out could sometimes fail if the temporary packet creation file was locked by another application, a virus scanner, for example. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-37993 | Tekla Model Sharing | Previously, excluding a folder from sharing only worked for folders directly under the model folder, not for sub-folders. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38578 | Tekla Model Sharing | A new Add button has been added to the Convert to multi-user model dialog box, so that you can easily add a new multi-user server name to the server list when you are converting a single-user model to a multi-user model. Image
|
TTSD-38820 | Tekla Model Sharing | Previously, when inviting users to a shared model in the Start sharing dialog box, the email addresses that had capital letters were temporarily shown as duplicated in the list of users until you reopened the dialog box. There were also issues in receiving email invitations to the model. Now this has been fixed. |
TTSD-39160 | Tekla Model Sharing | Previously, downloads were occasionally jammed in the Tekla Model Sharing service when reading in or joining a model. This was most likely related to limited internet bandwidth when several packets were read in or when joining a large model. The issue has now been fixed in this service pack. If you are a Tekla Model Sharing on-premises server user, note that this Tekla Structures service pack is not compatible with on-premises server versions older than version 3.13.9. To continue using Tekla Model Sharing, you need to update the Tekla Model Sharing on-premises server to version 3.13.9. Tekla Model Sharing on-premises server version 3.13.9 is downward compatible. All previous Tekla Structures versions in which Tekla Model Sharing is available, starting from Tekla Structures 21.0, work with this server version. |
TTSD-37921 | Reinforcement | Previously, rebar set hooks could appear at the wrong angle in drawings. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38105 | Reinforcement | Previously, if you changed the phase of a rebar set in the Phase manager, the numbering status of the rebar set changed to out-of-date. This does not happen anymore. |
TTSD-38392 | Reinforcement | In non-parallel tapered curved rebar groups, overlapping legs were in some cases not offset perpendicular to the bar plane. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38740 | Reinforcement | Previously, there was an error in the property pane if you tried to copy properties from a rebar set to itself. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-26408 | Modeling | It is now again possible to bind multiple weld handles at the same time. |
TTSD-33232 | Modeling | Previously, snap highlight sometimes got stuck in the view until the view was redrawn. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-33685 | Modeling | Previously, in some rare cases, Tekla Structures could crash when you moved a custom component and then modified a property in the custom component dialog box. This happened when a bent plate was used in the custom component that was located far away from the origin. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-34621 | Modeling | Previously, you had to change the work plane when creating a construction circle in any other view than a basic global view, for example, in the elevation view. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-35634 | Modeling | Snapping to intersections has been improved. Previously, snapping could find incorrect intersections. |
TTSD-36061 | Modeling | Obsolete data is now more efficiently removed from the model database .db1 so that the file size will be smaller. |
TTSD-37507 | Modeling | When creating a spiral beam, the snapping now works correctly. |
TTSD-37861 | Modeling | Previously, selecting a concrete part with the Alt key pressed did not select the rebar sets. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38386 | Modeling | When merging complex parts by using the Added material > Attach to part command, Tekla Structures sometimes crashed. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38648, TTSD-39096, TTSD-39705, TTSD-37163, TTSD-39015 | Modeling | Previously, the construction arc and construction circle creation commands did not follow the snapping depth (Plane/3D/Auto) and snapping plane type (View/Work). This raised several issues, in particular:
|
TTSD-38833 | Modeling | Status bar messages for geometry editing have been improved. |
TTSD-39025 | Modeling | Direct modification was not working when using the concrete item command, so the preview and the placing tool were not visible. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-39125 | Modeling | Previously, moving a part with edge chamfers and welds could cause Tekla Structures to crash. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-39480 | Modeling | Previously, in some rare cases, Tekla Structures could crash when moving objects. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-25375 | Licensing | Administrators can now set a registry setting so that the license expiry messages will not be seen by users. This can help in situations where overnight processing is run using Tekla Structures - the overnight processing is not impacted when licenses have less than 1 month until the expiry. |
TTSD-31795 | Installation | Previously, .tsep system logging sometimes conflicted with virus scanners, which could cause issues in extension or environment installations. The .tsep logging has now been changed to make it more robust, and to allow scanning of the log while in use. |
TTSD-33042 | Installation | Model environment information is now taken from XS_SYSTEM . The folder under \Environments\ is used as the environment name. |
TTSD-35775 | Installation | All empty subfolders are now correctly deleted from the \Extensions\To be installed\ folder when the .tsep packages installation is complete. The subfolders left from older installations are also deleted. |
TTSD-37957 | Installation | When importing .tsep files with Tekla Structures extension manager, Tekla Structures shows a message that asks whether you want to delete or keep the original .tsep files. This message has now been improved. The Yes and No buttons have been renamed as Delete and Keep to help you in selecting the appropriate action. |
TTSD-38187 | Installation | When installing a .tsep package that is not compatible with any of the Tekla Structures versions on your computer, Tekla Structures extension manager now displays a message about the situation and shows a list of the Tekla Structures versions that the extension is compatible with. |
TSAC-4174 | Tools and components | Layout manager: In some rare cases, there was an error when you tried to rename a layout line that was related to a deleted layout point. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4303 | Tools and components | Layout manager: Previously, deleting a layout point in the model and then selecting this point in Layout manager caused an error. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4658 | Tools and components | Layout manager: Previously, when you had the Layout manager Settings dialog box open, Layout manager was not automatically closed when you closed Tekla Structures. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-19052 | Tools and components | The profile database file profdb.bin is no longer unnecessarily created in the model folder when importing custom components. |
TTSD-34876 | Tools and components | Symbol Editor: Previously, saving with Save As did not work if the edited symbol file was located in the model folder. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-35938 | Tools and components | Previously, you could not open the dialog box of a .NET component published in the Applications & components catalog. This has now been fixed. .NET components now correctly use their attribute file when inserting the components to the model. |
TTSD-37216 | Tools and components | Previously, concrete cover attributes for parts did not appear in the custom component browser. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38589 | Tools and components | When opening the custom component editor, Tekla Structures now asks whether to update the custom component to the current version of the component. The message is shown if Tekla Structures cannot find the custom component version. This can happen if the custom component has been created with an earlier Tekla Structures version. |
TTSD-39163 | Tools and components | Tekla Structures no longer crashes when trying to open a custom component dialog box in the model. |
TTSD-24536 | Numbering | Previously, when numbering the model, clicking Cancel in the numbering report could reset any custom setting in some dialog boxes opened from the ribbon, for example, in dialog boxes under Numbering settings and Drawing properties. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38656 | User interface | The height of the monitor or the number of monitors do not cause issues anymore with the saved Windows registry values for the Width of the snapping toolbar. |
TTSD-21871 | User interface | Previously, Tekla Structures crashed when the main Tekla Structures window was minimized while another Tekla Structures dialog box was maximized. The crash happened when using multiple displays. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-22567 | User interface | In the Applications & components catalog, the search box tooltip text has been improved. The square brackets are now shown correctly as [ ], instead of a rectangle []. |
TTSD-31714 | User interface | Previously, Tekla Structures crashed when you used the down arrow key to scroll down a list in the Ribbon editor or Keyboard shortcuts dialog box. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-38182 | User interface | Previously, in some models, opening model views could cause Tekla Structures to crash. This has now been fixed. |
TTSD-39640 | User interface | Tekla Structures no longer crashes when using the arrow keys to move up and down in the list of models. Previously, Tekla Structures could crash when there were so many models that all of them could not fit in the window at the same time. |
TTSD-39838 | User interface | Previously, in the traditional properties dialog box for a contour plate, the Modify button also applied the values. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-3165 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): The cutpart former embed polygon is now exported fitted to be within the contour polygon. |
TSAC-4372 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Initially, the Bottom rebar = type 1 option on the Reinforcement tab was not working correctly for the reinforcement in the second shell of a double wall, when using shell-specific coordinate systems. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4432 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): You can now specify a manual Unitechnik mesh type using an UDA option for Mesh type on the Unitechnik tab in the reinforcement user-defined attributes dialog box. If you leave the option blank, automatic mesh type is used like before. |
TSAC-4440 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export EliPLAN file (68): You can use the new Project number and Project name settings on the Data content tab to specify the project number and project name in the exported file, using the set project user-defined attributes or template attributes and user-defined text. |
TSAC-4461 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export EliPLAN file (68): Previously, when exporting an element with notches at the start and at the end of the element, the coordinates of embeds inside the element were sometimes exported incorrectly. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4468 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export EliPLAN file (68): It is now possible to read the erection section from a UDA or from a custom property using the Erection section setting on the Data content tab. |
TSAC-4469 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export EliPLAN file (68): It is now possible to read the erection sequence from a UDA or from a custom property using the Erection sequence setting on the Data content tab. |
TSAC-4472 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export EliPLAN file (68): It is now possible to export weep holes only at the middle of elements with a length less than the length specified for the new setting At middle only, length less than on the Plotter data tab. |
TSAC-4489 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, the exposure class for both shells of a double wall was read from the first shell. This has been fixed, and the exposure class is now read from each of the shells. |
TSAC-4509 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, for double walls with a shell offset at start end, and 1st shell turning enabled in the Double wall turned setting on the TS configuration tab, the second shell of the double wall had an incorrect X axis offset. This has now been fixed. |
TSAC-4510 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): You can now export element quantity in the SLABDATE block using the new setting Export quantity. If the exported sets have multiple cast units, they will have their quantity marked in the SLABDATE reference number field. The export sets are defined by the file name definition or cast unit position. The options are:
|
TSAC-4526 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | BVBS Export: On the Data content tab, in the Position source setting, there is a new option Reinforcement template available. |
TSAC-4693 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, the file name extension could not be used to populate a data field with the ''file name section" option. This has now been added, with the number 6 presenting this sixth file name section. |
TSAC-4694 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): The cast unit position and cast unit number used in the SLABDATE block are now read from the cast unit main part for both shells of the double wall. |
TSAC-4709 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Tekla Structures now gives a warning message when a double wall shell is set to be turned, but it fails due to the shell being wider than the pallet width. Respectively, a warning is also given when the pallet width has not been specified. |
TSAC-4740 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): You can now specify how the SLABDATE maximum part length and width are exported by using the Maximum dimensions setting on the SLABDATE block data tab. The options are:
|
TSAC-4810 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export ELiPLAN file (68): When irregular cutouts exceeding the contour consist of multiple polygonal cuts, the amount of the exported plotting lines is now optimized. |
TSAC-4814 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | EliPLAN Export (68): Previously, revision marks were sometimes not exported for other objects than hollow core slabs. This has now been fixed. |
