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-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-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-3571 | Concrete components | Rectangular column reinforcement (83): Bottom/Top crank geometry offset is now applied properly. |
| TSAC-3596 | Concrete components | Wall layout: Previously, using a component to create a single part layer did not work properly. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3723 | Concrete components | Mesh bars: Creating bars using the Number of bars option now works correctly. |
| TSAC-3797 | Concrete components | Mesh bars: The number of secondary bars is no longer overwritten by the number of primary bars. |
| TSAC-3848 | Concrete components | Floor layout: When creating cast-in-place slabs, Floor layout does not create additional parts in the model origin anymore. |
| 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-3974 | Concrete components | Floor layout: Previously, a new floor layout used the properties of special slabs and openings from an existing modified floor layout when you created the new floor layout using the properties of the existing floor layout. This could result in incorrect slab widths, for example. 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-3670 | Steel components | Working with the Ship ladder (1) component is now must faster than before. |
| 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-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-3898 | Steel components | Wraparound gusset cross (60): Previously, connection plates were not correctly extended to create a slot through the main or secondary parts. 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. |
| TTSD-19302 | Import, export, interoperability | You cannot accidentally snap anymore to the reference model extrema bounding box. |
| TTSD-26740 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC4 export: Now the IFC4 export supports the export of project properties, such as town and country. |
| TTSD-27763 | Import, export, interoperability | 3D DGN export: The export failed in some environments, this has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-30846 | Import, export, interoperability | When you receive a generic error message in Trimble Connector, you can now find further information about the error in an error log file that is generated in the model folder. |
| TTSD-32036 | Import, export, interoperability | You can now include pour and pour unit template fields and UDAs in the IFC4 export. Pour template fields and UDAs are set to IfcBuildingElementProxy and pour unit to IfcElementAssembly in Property Set Definitions. UDAs are set with template field setting using USERDEFINED."UDA". |
| TTSD-32417 | Import, export, interoperability | Level marks were not correct for B-rep items, as they always showed the elevation of the item's restriction box. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33615 | Import, export, interoperability | Ifc2x3 export: Export using Organizer hierarchies sometimes created openings to wrong level. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33697 | Import, export, interoperability | Trimble Connector: Previously, uploading the same reference model with a different name was only possible for IFC reference models. Now, you can do so for other types of reference models as well. |
| 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-34497 | Import, export, interoperability | Ifc2x3 export: Support for exporting transparencies to the current view export (Use current view colors selected) has been added. |
| 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-34751 | Import, export, interoperability | IFC export: If a complicated cut is exported as B-rep, then also the main panel or slab is exported as B-rep. This fix is mainly for the Export To Aveva extension. |
| TTSD-33080 | Templates and reports | Template Editor: The CopyField() function now works correctly when used with multilevel hidden rows |
| 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. |
| TSAC-2493 | Drawings | Rebar pullout picture and marking: Duplicate dimensions are now supported. To allow duplicate dimensioning, set PullOutShowDuplicateDims to the desired value in the rebar_config.inp file. For example, PullOutShowDuplicateDims=3 shows all dimensioning, and PullOutShowDuplicateDims=0 does not show duplicate dimensions.The default value is 0. |
| TSAC-2745 | Drawings | Filter dimensioning is now dimensioning all rebars in a group for rebar groups that are not straight bars. |
| TSAC-3607 | Drawings | Rebar group dimensioning: The symbols were placed incorrectly during the plug-in creation. This has now been fixed. |
| TSAC-3727 | Drawings | Rebar pullout picture and marking: Duplicate dimensions are now supported. To allow duplicate dimensioning, set PullOutShowDuplicateDims to the desired value in the rebar_config.inp file. For example, PullOutShowDuplicateDims=3 shows all dimensioning, and PullOutShowDuplicateDims=0 does not show duplicate dimensions. The default value is 0. |
| TSAC-3980 | Drawings | Drawing 2D Library had a defect in Tekla Structures 2019i service pack 1 & 2. 2D details inserted in section views were incorrectly placed, this has now been fixed. Horizontal section views are now fixed as well. |
| TTSD-18430 | Drawings | Print preview and output will now reflect the changes made to an open drawing. |
| TTSD-25278 | Drawings | A new advanced option XS_DRAW_REBAR_SELF_INTERSECTING_LEGS_WITH_OFFSET has been added. When set to TRUE, this advanced option displays rebars in drawings with overlap in all representations. The option filled line already showed the overlap earlier. The default value is FALSE. Note that FALSE has no impact on the filled line representation. |
| 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-31426 | Drawings | Copying objects from a drawing view to a drawing sheet could sometimes cause a crash if the drawing view scale was more than 1:100. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-31682 | Drawings | You can now use drawing layout (.lay) files that are stored in XS_FIRM and XS_PROJECT folders and their sub-folders for editing drawing layouts. |
| 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-32650 | Drawings | When Use multiple printers was selected in the Print Drawings dialog box, and you loaded printing settings, and tried to save the settings with a new name, the name was reverted to the name of the earlier settings file. This has now been fixed. |
| 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-33090 | Drawings | Dimension associativity rule list was previously showing incorrect text for some cuts. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33511 | Drawings | Previously, in drawing properties, changing a drawing layout with a long name to another drawing layout sometimes did not work. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33630 | Drawings | Overlaying snapshots in drawings now works more fluently. |
| 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-34348 | Drawings | Clicking different options in dimension associativity rule list now works better. |
| TTSD-34361 | Drawings | The dimension associativity rule list was sometimes showing an empty line for bolts. This has now been fixed. |
| 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-34411 | Drawings | The Default associativity rule is not shown in the associativity rule list, unless it is the only rule available, or if it has been previously selected as the active rule for the chosen point. |
| TTSD-34412 | Drawings | Previously, the drawing dimension associativity rule list was sometimes invisible when it should not have been. 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-34690 | Drawings | Dimension associativity rule lists sometimes did not show the selected associativity correctly for existing dimensions. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-34693 | Drawings | In certain rare cases the drawing view label used to disappear completely after selecting and unselecting the drawing view. Now the label is visible after unselect. |
| TTSD-34765 | Drawings | Dimension associativity rule list no longer jumps as much as before. |
| TTSD-34888 | Drawings | Highlighting parts when double-clicking a row in the dimension associativity rule list now works more reliably. |
| TTSD-31625 | System and options | Tekla Structures can now read .xml files from the sub-folders of XS_FIRM and XS_PROJECT folders. |
| 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-35074 | Tekla Model Sharing | Tekla Model Sharing: Previously, reading in packets sometimes failed when profile definitions were changed in the local model. 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-33498 | Reinforcement | Using a custom component to create rebar sets could in some cases result in invalid rebar sets when switching the create setting from No to Yes. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-34175 | Reinforcement | On creating a custom component, if a rebar set is selected, all its modifiers and splitters are now selected automatically, and there is no need to manually select them. |
| 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-12143 | Modeling | When a model has an autosaved version, and Tekla Structures is launched with a bypass.ini file, Tekla Structures now shows the dialog box where you can select which version of the model to open. |
| 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-29131 | Modeling | When selecting a role in the US environment or in the UK environment, you cannot select the role separator row (Imperial roles, Metric roles) in the list of roles anymore. |
| TTSD-30036 | Modeling | Shapes that are inserted to a model are now copied to the model folder. |
| TTSD-30727 | Modeling | Previously, using Save as to save the model could result in invalid rebar sets. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-30827 | Modeling | The Move special > Mirror and Copy special > Mirror commands now work correctly for radial grids. |
| TTSD-30956 | Modeling | Previously, when modifying the geometry of an item, the reference point was sometimes lost when adding an edge to the item. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-32919 | Modeling | Previously, Tekla Structures could crash when creating a model on a file server. 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-33605 | Modeling | Previously, when you created a stand-alone bent plate so that the top arc start point was the same as the top arc center point, Tekla Structures stopped working. This has now been fixed. |
| 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-34006 | Modeling | Previously, the sketch editor could crash in certain situations. This has now been fixed. |
| 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-32726 | Tools and components | In custom components, bitmap (.bmp) images from the model folder are now correctly shown in the component dialog box. |
| TTSD-34140 | Tools and components | Applications & components catalog: Importing a .uel file immediately after creating a new model could result in the automatically imported catalog information (for example, thumbnails) being lost. This has now been fixed. |
| TTSD-33699 | User interface | Previously, picking a point to create a new beam in the model could be slow. Now the performance of the property pane has been improved to make creating beams faster. |
| TTSD-34115 | User interface | The property pane now shows the properties that have validation errors because of empty values even if Show properties that have a value is selected in the Property pane settings. |
| 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-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-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-3864 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): It is now possible to set the installation height of braced girders to zero ('0') using the new option Without concrete cover on the Reinforcement tab. |
| TSAC-3910 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export EliPLAN file (68): It is now possible to export strand code from a template attribute, including custom properties. |
| TSAC-3941 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): The braced girder diagonal wire rebar handles at arcing points affected the double wall total and production thicknesses when bent rebars were excluded. This has been fixed. Also a new option Double wall width has been added on the SLABDATE block data specification tab for the settings Total thickness and Production thickness. This option exports the template report property CAST_UNIT.WIDTH. |
| TSAC-3951 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): New option All without hooks has been added to Rebars export - Straight to export only straight rebars without hooks. The All option has been renamed to All including hooked. Note that the hooked bars are controlled by the Straight setting, not by the Bent setting. |
| TSAC-3993 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export ELiPLAN file (68): You can now disable/enable the usage of the data conversion file by clearing the check box next to the Data conversion file setting on the Parameters tab. |
| TSAC-4010 | Import, export, interoperability (concrete) | Export Unitechnik (79): Straight rebars with hooks are now excluded from the export when Rebar export - Straight is set to Uncollected. |
| 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. |
