Wall Layout for Precasters
This video shows how to utilize the Wall Layout tool in Tekla Structures.
Wall Layout tools is a set of components that you can use for creating and modifying all common types of concrete walls, such as solid precast panels from single layers to double walls and sandwich walls, and different wall structures that are cast on the site. The wall structure may contain several layers, for example, structural layers, insulation, void, and surface treatments. You can use direct modification to flexibly change the wall geometry, layer offsets, openings, and seam lines.

Floor Layout for Precasters
This video shows how to utilize the Floor Layout tool in Tekla Structures.
Floor Layout creates floors built of precast filigree and hollow core slabs. The floors may contain several layers, such as precast slabs, insulation and a cast-in-place topping. Floor Layout is most useful for non-rectangular floors that contain one or more openings that split slabs into many pieces, and when slab widths are not constant on the whole floor area. You can modify the floors using direct modification.

Changes in orthogonal snapping
Tekla Structures 2019i introduces changes in orthogonal snapping behavior. The orthogonal snap points have the lowest priority among the snap points. If Tekla Structures detects any other possible snap point than an orthogonal point, that is used instead of the orthogonal snap point.

Improved search in the property pane
Starting from Tekla Structures 2019i, the search in the property pane now finds all properties and user-define attributes (UDAs) that are available for the object type. Also the copying of properties has been improved: you can now press Enter to finish the copying of properties instead of clicking the Modify button.

Tips & tricks: AutoConnections and AutoDefaults
This month we give a brief overview of the Autoconnection/Autodefaults settings in Tekla Structures and how they work. With more people estimodeling than ever before, configuring these settings to your companies standards means more accurate estimates and quicker connections in your building. Properly done, these can even be used to automate connecting your production models as well.
