When importing a Point Cloud it is not always certain what the global coordinates are and if the model-axis are aligned with the Point Cloud-axis. The point cloud will be converted 1 time and the converted file would be stored at the location defined in the advanced option XS_POINT_CLOUD_CACHE_FOLDER. This means that a Point Cloud can only exist 1 time in a model. When there is an identical Point Cloud Tekla Structures will give you a message that The Point Cloud is already attached to the model. When you attach a Point Cloud for the first time to a model you can define the location and

There used to be an old command to model folded plates within Tekla Structures which is diffrent than the polybeam or the new bent plate. This folded plate still exisit in some components and can show up in certain cases. Basically if you want to filter this type of plates then you need to rely on the profile type and change it into a uniqe type for this plate type, below are the steps to do that: Find the file by_number.ail inside tekla structures messages folder Go to message 599 Change the letter "B" into a new unique letter(s), let’s say "FB"  Save the file and restart tekla structures

Question: When I try to log in to model sharing service, I get the error "Sharing service login failed". What can be the reason for this? Answer: One possible reason is that there is no model sharing license available. There is also approximately three hour time delay required to release a model sharing license when you are for example moving from one computer to another or when some other user is starting to use the model sharing license. If you have multiple computers, you reserve a license on each device.

Introduction Tekla Structures consists of the following installations: Tekla Structures software installation  Tekla Structures environmentregion- or company-specific settings and information that are predefined in Tekla Structures or that are defined by the userTo be able to use Tekla Structures, the user must install the software and for region-specific settings at least one Tekla Structures environment. The software installation includes the common and blank project environments and the global settings. The common environment and global settings form the basis for all other
