Question:
When an advanced option has multiple file locations set which file will Tekla Structures use?

Answer: 
Some advanced options for file locations can contain multiple file paths.
To add additional file locations just separate the file paths with a semicolon.

When different files with the identical names and extension are located in different file locations, Tekla Structures will search the folders from right to left and uses the last file that will be read.

This will make the paths that come earlier in the string having priority.

Example:
XS_UEL_IMPORT_FOLDER=%XSDATADIR%\environments\common\components_sketches\;%XSDATADIR%\environments\finland\components_sketches\;%XSDATADIR%\environments\finland\components_sketches\precast\;

Level of priority :
First %XSDATADIR%\environments\common\components_sketches\
Second %XSDATADIR%\environments\finland\components_sketches\
Third %XSDATADIR%\environments\finland\components_sketches\precast\
