connection (14): Previously, in some situations, a custom partcomponent for creating a part that cannot be created by using any existing part command or part profile

Typically, custom parts are used to create parts that have a complex composition. For example, castellated beams and sandwich panels are often created as custom parts.

on the column was created in an unexpected position. This has now been fixed.

Mirroring single leg rebar groups with different From plane values at the start and end now works for all spacing types.

Z pan (S74): Previously, when the length of the front part of the step was specified as zero, the top step was created incorrectly. This has now been fixed.

JP Full depth special (185): Previously, the tab plate(1) part that represents a flat structure

(1) In some contexts, for example in analysis, the term plate object may be used to refer to plates.

(2) plate that represents a steel structure

(2) Plate is mainly used as a connection piece or as a floor plate.

Seating cap (37): You can now define the distance between the end platecomponent object that represents a plate welded perpendicular to the end of the component secondary part

and secondary part(1) part that exists in a building object and that is connected to the main part

(1) Secondary part can be an assembly secondary part or a cast unit secondary part.

(2) input part that the user selects after selecting the component main part when creating a component

(2) A component can have none, one or more component secondary parts.

Previously, when you imported a user-defined attributeobject property created by the user in order to widen the range of predefined object properties

User-defined attributes are used when the predefined object properties are not sufficient but more properties are needed. For example, comment, locked, and erection status are user-defined attributes.

User-defined attributes are used when the predefined object properties are not sufficient but more properties are needed. For example, comment, locked, and erection status are user-defined attributes.

) that had the special_flag option set to yes, the objects with the UDA were not marked as modified in some cases. This has now been fixed.

IFC2x3 export: The export of rebar set groups contained broken rebars. This has now been fixed.

Reference models: In DWG reference models, some short lines were sometimes not shown if there were also relatively long lines in the DWG file. This has now been fixed.

IFC2x3 export: The export now works also when you have defined a base pointpoint in a model that is used to define a starting point in surveying and that is used as an anchor point in coordinate and height transformations

A Tekla Structures project can have several base points but only one of them can be the project base point.

Base points allow the use of another coordinate system needed for interoperability and collaboration. Base points can also be used in drawings, and in reports and templates. Model origin is the default base point in Tekla Structures.

Base points are also called control points.

that has a negative north direction angle value.

Reference models: Reference modelmodel which the designer can use as an aid when building another model

A reference model is created in Tekla Structures or in other software and can be inserted to Tekla Structures. The reference model appears together with the model but it is not modified by Tekla Structures. The user can snap to reference model points.

For example, an architectural model, a plant design model, or a heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) model can be a reference model.

conflicts may cause a situation where the reference model appears with a warning symbol. This has now been fixed.

Reference models: Rotated reference models were sometimes not fully visible in drawings. This has now been fixed.

Reference models: IFCfile format commonly used in BIM that facilitates software interoperability

IFC is an open specification developed by the IAI (International Alliance for Interoperability).

Model can be exported into an IFC file.

reference models from Revit did not sometimes include some slabs. This has now been fixed.

Creating drawings could sometimes cause a Tekla Structures applicationpart of Tekla Structures functionality that is developed in order to extend the capability of Tekla Structures but that is not included in the Tekla Structures installation

error. This has now been fixed.

Drawing layouts: Changing between different layouts that contain a keyplan now works more reliably.

Rebar placing in drawings could sometimes cause crashing. This has now been fixed.
 

The ASSEMBLY_POS attribute did not report any value when it was used in bolt marks in drawings. This has now been fixed.

Dragging dimensions in a drawing could cause an applicationpart of Tekla Structures functionality that is developed in order to extend the capability of Tekla Structures but that is not included in the Tekla Structures installation

error in some rare cases. This has now been fixed, and the application error no longer occurs.

When the location of one rebar was adjusted manually, some rebar marks, also from other rebars, were moving. This has now been fixed.

The Gridmodeling aid that represents a three-dimensional complex of intersecting grid planes or intersecting grid planes and curved grid surfaces

The grid is defined by coordinates in 3D space. It is shown two-dimensionally on the view plane by dash-and-dot lines. A grid can be rectangular or radial.

It is possible to have more than one grid in a model. For example, a large-scale grid for the entire structure, and smaller grids for some detailed sections.

It is also possible to show grids and grid line labels in drawings, and to modify how they are shown in the drawings.

labels command in drawings now works properly. It was previously not working in some versions of Tekla Structures 2020.

When you have the Create rebars by guidelines command active, the properties you change in the property panecontrol element in Tekla Structures user interface in the form of a side pane window

The property pane can be used to show and modify the properties of model objects.

The property pane can be customized by using the property pane editor.

are now used for the next rebar set you create.

Rebar sets: Previously, area selectionmethod of selecting objects that are included in a certain rectangular area of a model

In addition to the selected area, selection switches and selection filters control which object types are selected.

of handles did not work properly. This has now been fixed.

Mirroring single leg rebar groups now works correctly for groups where the first or last bar is excluded.

In some cases, adding edges to items in the geometry editingmethod that is used to modify an item’s shape or to create a new item shape based on an existing item

Geometry editing can be used to modify the items that are solid objects.

mode sometimes failed. This has now been fixed.

Previously, custom componentcomponent that the user creates and uses for creating model objects whose composition the user can modify as a group

.uel files were sometimes not read correctly. This could cause Tekla Structures to crash. This has now been fixed.

Welds are now listed in the Object locks dialog box.

When saving a model, Tekla Structures could in some cases crash when trying to open the message panel that is not in use anymore. This has now been fixed.

Previously, adding a formularule stated in a mathematical language

Formula is part of an equation.

, such as "=P1", after a constant value in the custom component editortool that is used for modifying component that is created by a custom component, and for creating dependencies between component objects and other model objects

caused Tekla Structures to crash. This has now been fixed.
 

When importing custom components, if one or more custom components in a .uel file fails to import, the successfully imported components are now available. Previously, they were only available after reopening the model or importing a new .uel file.

Previously, the hooks in a bent meshreinforcement that represents a mesh of steel bars in two perpendicular directions

In Tekla Structures, the reinforcement mesh bars in one direction are called main bars and reinforcement mesh bars perpendicular to them are called crossing bars.

did not keep the Custom hook setting when modifying the hooks in the property panecontrol element in Tekla Structures user interface in the form of a side pane window

The property pane can be used to show and modify the properties of model objects.

The property pane can be customized by using the property pane editor.

. This has now been fixed.
