Sandwich and double wallplate that represents a structure such as a wall or roof panel

In Tekla Structures, a panel is created by picking two or more points.

In cast-in-place concrete the term wall refers to a concept similar to panel.

: Classes are now correctly set to the main insulation when the insulation is split in one direction. Previously, when you split the insulation in only the horizontal or vertical direction, the middle panels would get properties as if the edge strips were split. This has now been fixed.

For multiple concrete and reinforcement components, the default numberingprocess of assigning position numbers to parts, cast units, assemblies, or reinforcement

In Tekla Structures, the position numbers assigned in the numbering are shown in marks and templates, for example.

: 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.

can again be selected by 1/128 inch steps in environments using imperial units.

Bolt dimensions that had their preferred dimension associativitydrawing property that represents the linking of drawing objects to model objects so that the former are updated according to changes made to the latter in the modeling mode

In Tekla Structures, associativity only relates to one type of drawing objects, namely associative objects. These can be building objects and associative annotation objects.

In Tekla Structures, the term associativity has traditionally been used when referring to the linking of drawing objects to model objects. In other modeling contexts, however, the term associativity may refer to any kind of linking between model objects or parts of a model by using dependencies.

Reinforcement in drawings: Occasionally drawings containing cut reinforcement bars showed circular ends although the bars were not tilted. This has now been fixed.

Document managertool that is used for listing and managing drawings and other types of documents

With the document manager the user can, for example, reorganize, update, freeze, lock, and delete drawings.

The user can also organize file documents, such as PDF, NC, and DWG files, and drawings, in document categories, and search documents and open drawings.

Document manager is replacing drawing list from the version 2018i onwards.

: The Document manager category search text control now wraps to multiple lines when necessary, so that you can more easily read and edit long search expressions.

The TOP_LEVEL and BOTTOM_LEVEL attributes now give correct values for dimension tags based on the Location by setting of the drawing viewview that includes selected model objects or an area in the model, that is represented in a drawing

A drawing view is a container for model and drawing objects.

A drawing can include several drawing views, which usually are two-dimensional views, plane views, to the model.

Examples of drawing views in Tekla Structures include main views, section views, single-part views, and 3D views.

Sometimes, after importing a sketched profileparametric user-defined profile created in the sketch editor

, and restarting Tekla Structures, other sketched profiles got corrupted and were showing incorrect properties in the profile catalogcatalog that displays profiles and information on the profiles

In addition to the available profiles in the respective Tekla Structures environment, the user can add fixed or parametric user-defined profiles to the profile catalog. It is also possible to import profiles to the profile catalog.

. This situation has now been fixed.

Improvements have been made to avoid and repair drawings corruption.

Tekla Structures extension manager is now shown in the Tekla Structures language that is in use.

In the Applications and components cataloguser interface for displaying or modifying information in categorized lists

For example, profile catalog and shape catalog are catalogs.

Export Unitechnik (79):

• Main tab: The Output file structure setting has a new option 1 slabdate, scanned layers, which exports element layers in the same order as they are modeled in the model. Multiple parts on the same depth level are recognized as one layer.
• Embeds tab: The Export insulation setting has a new option As layers and embeds, which exports insulation in the SLABDATE block as layers and in the MOUNPART block as embeds.
• SLABDATE block data tab: The Quality of layer setting has new options Name and Template to give more possibilities to specify the quality of layer.

Export Unitechnik (79): You can now set manual line attributes to override scanned CUTOUT line attributes as well. This affects window openings, for example. The new option is available in all of the 6 override settings on the Line attributes tab.

Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, no line attributes were recognized for edges that were diagonally cut completely. Now they can be scanned as chamfers or special formwork by managing the setting for chamfer maximum width.

Export Unitechnik (79): You can now export line cuts, fittings and chamfers as MOUNPART block using the new setting Export cut edges on the Embeds tab. The geometry will be a simple line, and the MOUNPARTs have fixed names. Line cuts and fittings are plotted along the cut edge. Chamfers are plotted at the inner line of the chamfered edge.
