In this video, we talk more about the Template Editortool in Tekla Structures that is used for creating and modifying templates to be used in drawings and reports and how you can make different types of reports such as spreadsheets, selectable reports and graphical PDF reports.

In this video, we are introduced to the textual reports you can create in the Template Editortool in Tekla Structures that is used for creating and modifying templates to be used in drawings and reports. Learn how to create a simple BOM report, and how the output changes depending on settings like sorting and row rules.

In this video, we show how to import a 2D reference model and use it as an overlay to adjust the Tekla Structures grid lines to match the contract document. To proceed to the next tutorial, click here. You can return to the US Cast in Place Modeling Tutorials by clicking here.

This video shows a new feature that allows you to insert a bolt into the model without creating a hole in the object(s) it's bolting through.  For example, you could insert screws that will be installed on-site or bolt through objects that already have pre-drilled holes.  This means that your piece marks will stay the same but allow you to insert bolts into the model for accurate reporting of quantities.

This video shows a couple of examples of how to change a grid's spacing and values both through dialogs and through the Contextual Toolbar.

This video shows an example of how to insert a PDF file and use a tool called Reference Model Scale to set the scale for accuracy. The tool is available at the following link, or by searching for Reference Model Scale in the Warehouse:https://warehouse.tekla.com/#!/catalog/details/u785cc1de-3fed-443a-ba93-f61c688ef08d

When editing general arrangement drawings, you often need to repetitively add annotations, dimensions and styles for building objects throughout the drawing.  The new clone(performed by Tekla Structures) to create a new drawing by using a cloning templateCloning aims at using the drawing properties, view properties, and object properties from the cloning template in a new drawing.Drawings can be cloned from the current model or another model.Cloned drawings need some manual checking. selec

In this video we introduce two new construction objects (construction arc and construction polycurve) and a new command to copy construction objects.  We also introduce the new radial gridmodeling aid that represents a three-dimensional complex of horizontal and vertical planesIn Tekla Structures, grids are used as an aid in locating objects in a model. The grid is shown on the view plane by dash-and-dot lines.

Learn what Tekla Structures objects are, how to create views, and how to control the visibility of different objects in views. Additionally, learn about parts, assemblies, pours, and reinforcement, about their properties and about inquiring the properties, and how to create view filters and selection filters. This is tutorial 3/3 in the Getting started with Tekla Structures module, and 3/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Get an overview of managing model information with Organizer. Learn how to work with Object Browser: For example, how to create reports. Learn how to use Organizer categories, how to view selected objects in the model, and how to import and export categories. This is tutorial 1/4 in the Model information management module, and 4/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Learn about location categories in Organizer: how to organize your model to sections and floors based on locations, and how to modify the location categories manually. This is tutorial 2/4 in the Model information management module, and 5/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Learn about custom categories and different ways to create them in Organizer. This is tutorial 3/4 in the Model information management module, and 6/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.

Learn how to create property categories, and when it is useful to create them. This is tutorial 4/4 in the Model information management module, and 7/35 in the Tekla Structures for Concrete Contractors elearning course.
