Environment
Not environment-specific
1. Insert the point cloud
From the side panel, Link the point cloud with the option Location by: on Model origin
Image
Note: point clouds move through the base point. It is not possible to move them like the reference models. It is sometimes necessary to use the automatically created Base Point option and readjust this Base Point by making a new connection, but not in this case.
2. Modify the grid on direct modification
3. Create views
Use dynamic modification to adjust mesh queues on mullions and facade offsets.Image
Next, create elevation and facade views.

Image
4. Model a concrete wall
Model a panel over the entire height of the exterior bare height of the concrete mullions.Image
Next, use polygonal cuts to apply the sills and openings for windows and porch.
Image
There is a distinction between the ground floor and the floors for these polygonal cuts.
Add material to the protruding elements, such as cornice and window sill.

5. Use of cut plans
Use the cut-planes to refine the overlapping of elements and move the faces of objects in dynamic mode.ou can make vertical cuts
Image
You can also make horizontal cuts.

An useful tool, the Clipper Tool is available on the Tekla Warehouse. It allows you to save a pair of scissors and to come back to them later. Click on the link for more information.

6. Model cladding and metalwork
You can model your metalwork and/or cladding elements on your facade.Alternative options in point cloud processing
Use the wall layout and openings in the dynamic mode
This function allows you to create walls with insulation and quickly recreate cut-outs for openings.Image
Creation of slope shapes on slab/roof
The modification of the values Dz1/Dz2 allow realization of these slopes.Image
