In this video, we create rebar sets for curved concrete structures. Starting from Tekla Structures 2017i, also longitudinal curved rebars are supported, which means you can model even more complex concrete structures.

The Floor Layout tool has been moved to the ribbon for an easy access. You can now use direct modification with this tool, which means that the creation of floors and openings is easier and more visual than before. These improvements are available starting from Tekla Structures 2017i.

Working in conjunction with the largest cold rolled manufacturers in the UK we have created tools to allow Tekla Structures models to utilise each cold rolled systems. Intelligent joints/macros allow rapid modelling and updating of cold rolled accessories.

Base points allow you to use another coordinate system needed for interoperability and collaboration by defining base points for IFC exports and reference model imports. This feature is available starting from Tekla Structures 2016i.

You can create spiral beams using Tekla Structures. Spiral beams can be used to model spiral staircases, parking ramps, and complex architectural shapes, for example. Spiral beams can be shown in drawings either folded or unfolded. This feature is available starting from Tekla Structures 2017i.

You can now modify the dimensions of model objects within Tekla Structures even more quickly. Click a dimension, type a new value, and then press Enter. The dimension changes immediately. The yellow arrow defines the direction in which the object is extended or shortened. You can change the direction by clicking the arrows.

Check out the new Layout Editor that allows you to visually edit the layout directly on a drawing. This feature is available starting from Tekla Structures 2017 SP 3.

This video shows four examples of using Detailing Manager. Detailing Manager can be used to apply detailing components into any structure. With the help of Detailing Manager you can apply multiple detailing components with “one click" to the structure of the entire model. You can automate repetitive detailing tasks by defining the detailing rules using selection filters. This feature is available starting from Tekla Structures 2017.

The ribbon customizer is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor and allows you to     Create, rename, or delete ribbon tabs     Add, move, or remove ribbon commands     Modify the appearance of buttons, icons, and text This featurepart of Tekla Structures functionality that is maintained and owned by Trimble Solutions and that is included in the Tekla Structures installation is available starting from Tekla Structures 2016i.

The introduction of surface objects enables quick and correct surface area calculations of concrete objects. The use of surface objects automates tedious and traditionally manual tasks, and helps to make estimating formwork and concrete finish areas fast, easy and exact. This featurepart of Tekla Structures functionality that is maintained and owned by Trimble Solutions and that is included in the Tekla Structures installation is available starting from Tekla Structures 2016.

Support for the LandXML file format is another interoperability improvement that shows Trimble’s commitment to Open BIM and enhances practical project collaboration. This feature is available starting from Tekla Structures 2016. This video has spoken narration in English.

In this video we take a look at combining many of the tools in Tekla Structures to illustrate different ways to use the Tekla model for structural steel estimating.

Learn the basics of creating object level settingsdrawing settings that affect the representation of selected drawing objectsObject level settings can be defined when creating a new drawing or when modifying an open drawing.Object level settings can be use in a drawing or in a drawing view in order to change the representation of the chosen drawing objects. to understand how Tekla drawings can be better automated to match your standards when they are created.

In this video we will review multidrawings in Tekla Structures. We will cover basic overview of multidrawings, best practices for drawings to be placed on multi-sheets as well as different methods to create the multidrawings.

After this video, you will be able to develop custom reports quickly from model informationinformation stored to the modelModel information covers, for example, model objects, and drawing and project information., reduce editing time for drawing production, and give access to files to everyone across your organization.

Check out this video to see how to set-up your firm folders for all your concrete projects. You will learn how to assign the location of your firm folderfolder that is used for storing Tekla Structures-related files customized for a particular organizationA Tekla Structures user can, for example, customize a company’s cloning templates and save them in a sub-folder located under the firm folder.

In this video we will look at where you can find the different settings that affect numberingprocess of assigning position numbers to parts, cast units, assemblies, or reinforcementIn Tekla Structures, the position numbers assigned in the numbering are shown in marks and templates, for example. and part marks in Tekla Structures.
