This is tutorial 2/3 in the Reinforcement modeling module, and 33/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Learn about the several methods Tekla Structures offers for creating reinforcement. This is tutorial 1/3 in the Reinforcement modeling module, and 32/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Learn how to convert concrete geometries from an existing IFC model into native Tekla Structures parts. Learn also about the different steps of the conversion process, and how to convert objects as extrusions and with item conversion. This is tutorial 3/3 in the Concrete modeling module, and 31/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Learn to export model information in the form of an IFC file, and how to use Trimble Connect to share this information with other project members. This is tutorial 3/3 in the Delivering model information to site module, and 23/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Learn how to create drawings based on model views, and the basics on modifying drawings: How to create dimension lines, marks, and section views. Finally, learn how to use the Drawing content manager for checking and editing drawing content. This is tutorial 2/3 in the Delivering model information to site module, and 22/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Get an overview on how you can transform a concrete model into a construction drawing, and how you can share model information with others using IFC and Trimble Connect. This is tutorial 1/3 in the Delivering model information to site module, and 21/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Learn the basics of Task Manager: scheduling with tasks and how to use Task Manager. Additionally, learn how to create tasks, about task types and task information, and how to create scenarios. Finally, learn how to track project progress. This is tutorial 1/2 in the Task planning module, and 15/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Learn about embeds in Tekla Structures, how to place them in a model, and how to create your own embeds. This is tutorial 1/1 in the Adding embeds module, and 35/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Use Organizer to view and create reports on model information based on what you select in the model. Organizer consists of two parts: Object Browser and categories.

Learn how to use selection filters to select objects from a Tekla Structures model.

Tekla Structures objects are model objects that are either created in a model, or imported into it. There are many different kinds of objects: parts (such as columns and beams), reinforcement, points, reference objects, and so on.

Learn how to create polygonal openings within parts with the Polygon cut command.

In this video, you will learn how to create custom parts. As an example, we will create a custom sandwich panel using three panels. After learning the basics, you can go even further and create intelligent custom components that automatically adjust to changes in the model.

In this video, you will learn how to create custom seams. As an example, we will create a custom panel-to-panel seam. After learning the basics, you can go even further and create intelligent custom components that automatically adjust to changes in the model.

In this video, you will learn how to create custom details. As an example, we will create custom web stiffeners that can be added to a steel beam. After learning the basics, you can go even further and create intelligent custom components that automatically adjust to changes in the model.

In this video, you will learn how to create custom connections. As an example, we will create a custom end plate with haunches. After learning the basics, you can go even further and create intelligent custom components that automatically adjust to changes in the model.

Learn how to use colors to visualize the content of Object Browser groups in a Tekla Structures model. In this video, pour objects are colored based on pour numbers.

Learn how to create and modify templates in Organizer, and how to create custom properties. Custom properties are especially useful when working with reference models.
