It is possible to replace the standard anchor rods in a base platecomponent object that represents a plate welded to a column baseBase plates are used to distribute the concentrated load of the column over a wider area. component with custom components.

Model sloping and skewed framing easily with magneticgrid and construction object property which enables attaching adaptive model objects so that the attached model objects follow when part of the grid or construction object is movedSee also adaptivity. construction objects in Tekla Structures.

Learn about the user roles in Tekla Model Sharing. There are four roles: Owner, Editor, Viewer, and Project Viewer.

Learn the basic concepts of Tekla Model Sharing. For example, the difference between Tekla Structures multi-user mode and Model Sharing, and between baselines and packets.

Tekla Structures gives you the ability to customize your ribbon and create new tabs for your favorite tools. But what if you wanted to share these tabs with others? In this video we learn how to isolate part of the ribbon so you can share just those desired tools with other people on your team.

In this video we introduce 3 new commands to help you be more efficient. These features are available starting from Tekla Structures 2018. 1. Undo history - All the commands that you have run and the modifications you have done are now listed in the new Undo history dialog box. By selecting a command or an action in the Undo history dialog box, you can undo or redo several commands at one go, and thus go back and forth in the model history.

Learn how to use the Management Console. With Management Console, administrators can list and delete models, add users and modify the roles of users, lock and unlock shared models, and delete versions from the model.

Learn how to get the changes others have made on a shared model by reading in the changes.

Learn how to share your work on a shared model by writing out the changes.

Joining a shared model after receiving e-mail notification

In this lessons you will see how to invite users to your shared model

On this video you will see how to create a shared model.

Take a look at customizing the Applications & Components cataloguser interface for displaying or modifying information in categorized listsFor example, profile catalog and shape catalog are catalogs. so that you can more easily find your favorite tools in Tekla Structures. In this video we will: Create custom groups of tools by type Organize your custom groups Link external applications

These improvements are available starting from Tekla Structures 2018. In this video we introduce: The Drawing Content Manager - a new interactive tool for checking and editing marks, notes and model objects in the current drawing. Improved mark placement New ways to interact with drawing marks

In this video we take a quick look at some of the most common settings you may want to make when starting a project. Watch to see a review of several options including: Standard bolt diameter and grade when components are set to "Default" Dual-Dimensioning in Imperial and Metric - often needed for government contracts in the US Standard units - commonly used for more accurate gauge material modeling

Tekla Structures 2017i introduces a new tool for creating rebar sets. With Rebar shape placing tool you can reinforce both parts and pour objects using predefined bar shapes. The rebar sets you create may extend across single or multiple objects. You can easily select cross sections or object faces that you want to reinforce, and then, using preview and direct modification, place rebar sets in the model.

You can now insert point clouds into Tekla Structures 2018.  In construction, the point clouds are mainly used in renovation projects to define the building or structure that is to be renovated. They can also be used to get the exact position of existing machinery, pipework or landscape that needs to be taken into consideration on the site. You can also use them for checking execution by importing them as build points into a model to be compared to the design.

In Tekla Structures 2018 most model objects now have a property pane in the modeling mode. The new property pane replaces the previously used model object properties dialog boxes. The new property pane has several benefits compared to the previously used property dialog boxes:

In this video, we create rebar sets using the Rebar shape placing tooltool for creating rebar sets using predefined reinforcing bar shapesRebar shape placing tool for rebar sets is similar to reinforcing bar shape catalog for reinforcing bar groups.. We will use the following predefined rebar shapes: straight, U-shape, L-shape, and stirrup.

This video shows a featurepart of Tekla Structures functionality that is maintained and owned by Trimble Solutions and that is included in the Tekla Structures installation that many Tekla modelers, especially on the steel side, are not aware of. If you need to modify the shape of a cut, you don't always need to accomplish it with one command or object, instead you can actually cut the cut to restore material to your steel objects.
