Pours in Organizer When you have the pour functionality enabled, Organizer shows the pour object hierarchy instead of the cast-in-place object hierarchy. Select categories When you have selected a category in Organizer, the objects in the category now stay selected when you right-click another category. Right-clicking a category does not select the category anymore. When you right-click a category, you can only add objects to the category.
To use all the category commands, you need to select the category first. View objects in a pie chart When you have grouped objects in Object Browser, you can now create a pie chart to view the ratio of the number of objects included in the groups.
Use Task manager to show a sequence in the model You can now show a sequence in the model by using Task manager. In the Task information dialog box, first set the sequencing order for the objects on the Objects tab. Then select the relevant objects in the table and. The objects are selected in the model in the same order as they are listed on the Objects tab. You can change the speed of the object selection by typing a different number in the box next to the Play button. The default is 1 second.
Now drawings open faster also when reference models use hidden lines. You can also find this command in the pop-up menu. The drawing can still be edited and updated, and works just like any other drawing. You can check who marked the drawing from the Ready for issuing by column. You can include the attributes in reports, for example. Both letters and numbers allowed in section view labels There is a new option available in the Section view properties in all drawing types for adjusting the section view and section symbol labels: Start number or letter of section view and symbol label.
If you use numbers, all entered numbers are shown. When you change it in an. Delete marks of selected parts at one go With the new command Delete part mark you can easily delete the part marks of parts that you have selected. This command comes in very handy when you do not want to show marks for neighbor parts or neighbor reinforcement, for example. When you apply this filter, activate.
The different gray shades are true colors in the way that they will. Below is an example of architectural linework drawn directly from an architectural IFC model. Light gray is used here. For example, if your drawing shows a pour, you may want to show other parts with a different color than pours, and add a different fill. Earlier there were problems with the dialog box size and buttons that were not working properly. If you select Enter height, you can enter the height in the Height box.
If you select Autosize, the symbol height is adjusted automatically. Use the option Enter Autosize minimum height to set the minimum height for the symbol. Earlier, these values could only be entered in the user-defined grid properties in the model. You need to recreate the labels. To place the image, select the file and click the drawing view or drawing. When you click this button, the Selection filter dialog box is displayed allowing you to create and modify drawing selection filters.
Use the filtering property GUID instead in assembly, reference assembly and reference object filtering. If you use a polygon or a part cut for cutting, the resulting opening or recess is visible in drawings. Hollow profiles are now drawn correctly using the correct symbols. Complex cuts, like L, U or O shapes, are not supported. Nested lists are also supported. An AutoDrawings wizard is a file-based wizard consisting of several sets of drawing requests containing drawing, attribute and part settings to apply to selected objects, as well as a selection filter.
New option to define automatic hatches separately for Precast and CIP You can now specify automatic hatches separately for cast-in-place and precast parts using the new option Cast unit type in the drawing hatch schema file.
This can be useful in GA drawings for presenting different types of concrete structures, or in cast unit drawings for identifying different concrete layers in composite elements, such as double walls or half-slabs. New color numbers are - from darker to lighter. The representation of the tapered skewed and tapered curved dimensions is set in Drawing dimensions settings in the Options dialog box. In the example below, dual dimensions are applied so that you can see metric above and imperial below in the middle tag:.
When you select this option, the dimension tag follows the dimension curve:. New location for loading drawing presentation and dimensioning plug-ins. Drawing presentation and dimensioning plug-ins are now loaded from the following pre-defined folders This caused performance issues and loading failures when custom properties were used.
Now the custom properties are loaded only from the extension folder.. This speeds up the loading process and solves loading problems caused by other software components in other extension folders.
New functionality for loading custom properties can be switched off in startup. These include more visual sketching tools, more flexible cover-up tools, new option for re-ordering graphical objects, and snapping to custom angles. The line lengths are also shown. This means, for example, that units can be controlled in the same way as for the other dimensions. You can resize and reshape the cover-up objects by dragging the handles.
To have a cover-up area hiding sketch objects, such as polygons and polylines, use Re-order for the sketch object and send it behind the model object. You can change the mutual order of the sketch objects graphical objects , and the mutual order of the sketch objects and model objects.
You can bring sketch objects forward or in front of other sketch objects, or send them backward or behind other sketch objects, and also send sketch objects behind model objects or bring them in front of model objects. You can also re-order DWGs and images in the same way. If you have several objects objects on several layers , the drawing order affects the layer on which the forward and backward commands place the objects. Newly created sketch objects are placed on their own layer in the drawing order: the newest one on top of the older one.
Showing an opening:. But if the original rectangle has a bulge, it is not possible to copy it to a new rectangle using Copy with offset. When you use Copy with offset, the new copied object will become a polygon. This is useful when you are sketching polylines and polygons, for example. In the example below, you first add a text with a leader line using a 60 degree angle to the part:. For example, you can now more easily create rectangles that are of exact length when you zoom closer.
You can now select the symbol by double-clicking it in a separate window, which opens when you click Select. The dashes are justified if the pattern is longer than the line itself. There are some new controls making the comparison, change detection, and conversion management more fluent and extensive. In conversions management, the object type is now visible in the changes list. There are also some improvements in general reference model handling and base point functionality.
Here we are diving into more of these new features. This section introduces some of the most remarkable features and enhancements added in updates to Tekla Structures Name required.

ContentsConventions used in this guide Getting Started Component dialog box Selection order Up direction Automatic and default properties General tab Design and Design type tabs Then only a single- click on the Create Beam icon is required to add beams with those settings to your model.
Pick a midpoint of the beam between A-2 and A-3 p1 and then the midpoint of the beam between B-2 and B-3 p2 as shown below. We will then pick the second position of beam B using the temporary snap switch Perpendicular. Make sure the Snap to points and grid intersections icon is also pressed down. Hold down the "Ctrl" key first and then click gridline intersection A-1 p1.
This will be a temporary reference point. A green cross will be placed there. Then move the cursor do not pick!! If you just start typing after picking a reference point the Enter a numeric location dialog box will open automatically.
Right-click and select Perpendicular, or let the snap grab perpendicular to select a point for the other end of the beam.
Create beam C 8. Click once on the beam icon to get back in the beam command. Pick the intersection of beam B and gridline 2 p1 and then the intersection of gridlines B-2 p2 as shown here. Make sure the Snap to intersection points snap is set. Hold down the "Ctrl" key and pick gridline intersection A-1 p1 to set a temporary reference point.
See below. The Enter a numeric location dialog box will open automatically. Click OK or "Enter", the cursor will snap to the correct position 13'-0 away from p1 as shown on the following page. Move the cursor to the intersection of A1 again. The beam will now appear. In the 3D view pick the center point of the silo as the point to define the rotation. Complete the other fields in the dialog. Click Copy and then OK.
Select the beams shown highlighted in the picture below press the "Ctrl" key to add parts to the selection. Now click in the 3D view to select the view.
A red box will appear around the edge of the view. Right-click in the view now and select 'Redraw View'. The model should now look as shown. Double-click on the Create beam icon. Create the second brace 1. Create the next brace by picking the top position of column A-2 and then midpoint of column A-3 as shown below.
We will now adjust this bracing member so that the lower end of the brace is offset 6 inches from the bottom of the column. To do this, we will use handles to move the part end. Select the first brace to display the handles. Holding down the Alt key while dragging a box across the handle allows for easier selection of that handle or allows selection of multiple handles at that location. This opens the Move - Linear dialog box shown here. Complete the dZ field and click Move, then OK.
Remember that this handle may be yellow or magenta in color depending upon whether it is the Start Point yellow or the End Point magenta of the item. Select both braces as shown here by clicking each one individually while holding down the CTRL key. This opens the Copy - mirror dialog box.
In the view, pick two points on grid 3 to define the mirror line. The X0, Y0 and Angle fields automatically change based on these 2 points. The points that you click to define the mirror represent the baseline of the mirror or the 'line of symmetry' in plan. Try to imagine what the image would look like when reflected in a mirror that is placed on the line drawn between the two points you clicked in the model.
Load the Beam properties. Click the Select… button to launch the section catalog. The increments that the automatic snap uses are dependent on your zoom level.
The further out, the larger the increment. The further in, the smaller the increment. Use the perpendicular snap to connect the beam to the beam on grid line 6. We will now add some horizontal bracing sections too. First, we will use the Add Points on Line Divided Line Points tool to establish the midpoint between two points we select.
Double-click the icon shown in the left margin. Points Tools allow us to quickly and easily establish points in the model without having to measure and calculate distances. Check that the No. This will place one point half way between the two points you click in the model. If this was set to 2 then it would add two points equally spaced between the points you click effectively dividing the length into 3 equal spaces. Click OK 4. Click the points as shown using the Endpoint snap.
Notice that a tiny cross appears halfway between both points. Now add two W16X50 beams as shown below. Tip: Add the beams from left to right and use the perpendicular snap to ensure they are horizontal in the model. Finally add the horizontal bracing.
Use the Create Beam tool again and select and load the properties for a Horizontal Brace. Click OK and add the bracing going from left to right as shown below. Move Bracing Now move these braces down to within the depth of the floor beams. Highlight both braces by holding down the CTRL key while clicking the members.
Release the CTRL key and right-click the mouse. Select Move Special - Linear and enter -9" the negative value moves the bracing beams down. Move beam using offset 1. Double-click on the highlighted beam to open the properties dialog. Go to the Position tab. Adjust the dialog box as shown and click Modify. Notice that the beam has now moved down 3" while the start and end points have remained in their original position. It really makes very little difference whether you locate beams using offsets or by simply moving them into position.
Sometimes there may be speed advantages to be gained by modeling one way rather than another. Now we have modeled all the steel members in BasicModel1. The model should appear as in the picture below. At this point we have added all the members into the model. We will deal with Reports and Numbering in much more depth later in this manual.
In this lesson This lesson introduces the basics of creating system connections in Tekla Structures. You will learn how to: Create connections Work with connection properties Save the properties for later use. The greatest benefits of using system components are: The connection properties can be saved with a particular name so that they can be used later.
These properties can then be used for all projects. If you highlight an object and select options such as edit, copy, or mirror, all connections into the object are automatically included. The connections that are copied or mirrored are exactly the same as the originals.
The same applies to plates and bolts. With AutoDefaults you can create rules defining when to use different connection properties. When applying a connection that you are unfamiliar with, accept the default properties and create the connection. Then look to see what needs to be modified.
This is usually quicker than trying to set the values for the connection before seeing what the connection actually creates. To complete the model we will need to connect the parts. Before creating the connections, all of the members in the model usually collide with other members. By using the Clash check command, we can check which parts in the model collide. We will run a clash check now and again after the connections have been applied.
Select several parts in the model by dragging an area select around a portion of the model, for example the column on gridlines B and 7 and the beams framing into it. Right-click and select Clash check. Tekla Structures displays the clashing objects in the Clash Check Manager dialog box. You can see that all of the selected parts in the model collide. Select any clashing parts from the list, and Tekla Structures highlights them in the model.
Right-click on an item in the list, select Zoom to objects and the model view will zoom to the selected parts. First, we will create a base plate using the default values. We will then modify the properties of the base plate and finally create the rest of the base plates with the new properties.
Create base plate to one column 1. To see pictures of the connection, make sure the Thumbnails icon is active, see below. Both the Details view option and Descriptions option, will provide indication on which components are Recommended by Tekla for the US Environment. Type "base" into the upper field, and click on the Search button.
In the Component Catalog, double-click on the U. Base plate icon. You could also type in the component number you would like to use or have several numbers separated by spaces to show different available connections at the same time. In the component dialog box, parts colored yellow are parts that will be added by the component, while blue indicates parts that Tekla Structures expects to be already in the model. Click OK to accept the default values.
Pick any column. When prompted, pick the bottom endpoint of the column as the position and the base plate will be created. You can see that the anchor bolts were created as Anchor J-rods. Edit Base Plate We will change the base plate size by modifying the connection properties. Double-click on the green connection symbol, and the Base plate dialog box will reopen. Select the Parts tab page in the dialog box. Edit the values in the fields shown highlighted in the next figure.
Select the Bolts tab in the dialog box. Note the layout for the fields for No. Number of rows for base plates is 2 in each direction by default, so we can leave these fields blank. It is a good idea to click modify at least after each tab is filled out or after filling in each field if you are not sure how the component will react. This way, if there is an error, you do not have to hunt back through your changes to find the problem.
Give the component only the minimal information it needs to get the results you want. Putting in the base plate size and edge distance is all the information we need. Adding spacing information only increases the chance for error later.
If one value should change, we would need to change them all. If we had entered the anchor rod spacing, we should have left the edge distance fields clear. Rod Assy. Remember that just because a part is set to be created does not automatically make it a part of the anchor rod assembly.
The settings on the bolt tab affect anchor spacing and base plate hole size but do not affect anchor rod diameter. Click Apply or OK to accept the properties for use later. Create remaining base plates 1. Press the Enter key to start the base plate command again. Create the rest of the base plates by picking each column and then the position for the base plate. At this point in a real contract, you would be able to run the Anchor Bolt Drawing and send it out for approval or over to the site, so they can start pouring the bases.
For training purposes, however, we will skip this step until later. The shear plate will be welded to the primary beam web and bolted to the secondary beam web. We will use the connection when the secondary beam is perpendicular to the main member or at a skewed angle to the main member.
Create one shear plate connection. The following dialog appears:. Pick the beam on gridline 1 as the main part of the connection. Pick the beam perpendicular to the main part to be the secondary part, and the connection will be created. In the view the work area is closely fitted around the connection.
Create connection basic views To create component basic views: 1. Select the connection symbol. Keep the Component front view open and close the other component basic views. Check bolt dimensions We will now check the bolt location distances and bolt edge distances between bolts and the shear plate. Tekla will automatically change the color of the component cone from green to yellow if an edge distance issue is detected.
The default edge distance is 1. Set your selection to Objects in Components. Pick the bolt group. Pick the shear plate, and the temporary dimensions are shown in the view.
The dimensions created are from the part picked in our example, the shear plate to the bolt group. So to measure to the beam, pick the beam in step 3 above. Notice how Tekla automatically detects the depth of the supported beam and applies the correct number of bolts to the connection automatically.
For the double sided beam to column web connections, we will use the Two sided Clip angle connection. That connection uses only one bolt group to go through all three parts. We will then make the wall brace to column connections with Tube gusset This connection uses a gusset plate to connect the beam to the column. Connection plates welded to the end of the braces will be bolted to the gusset plate. Clip angle We will now use the Clip angle connection to make all single beam to column web connections using the default connection properties.
Create clip angles 1. In the component catalog, find the Clip angle connection. Make a clip angle connection at every beam to column web condition where there is only one secondary beam coming to the column web. The column is the main part in the connection, so when prompted, pick the column as the main part and the beam as the secondary part. Find the Two sided clip angle connection. When prompted, pick the column as the main part.
Pick a beam on one side, and then the beam on the other side as the secondary parts. Click the middle mouse button to complete the connection. When there are multiple secondaries you need to click the middle mouse button to complete the selection. Double-click on the connection cone to open the Two Sided Clip Angle properties dialog box. Then set the Safety Connections property on the Parts tab as shown below.
Click Modify when complete, and notice that the angles on one side drop down to allow for safe erection practices. Click Apply then save the connection settings for future use by typing a name in the Save As field and click the Save As button.
Apply the Two sided clip angle to all two sided beam to column webs framing conditions. Create end plates 1. Find the End plate connection. Create connections at all the beam to column flange framing conditions. Find the Tube gusset 20 connection. Pick the column on grid intersection A-3 as the main part. Pick two adjoining braces, one by one, as secondaries. Click the middle mouse button to create the connection. While still in the active command, repeat for the other side of the same column.
Now we can see that the connection created has two gusset plates each one with two braces. We could also have created a single gusset plate going through the column by creating one connection with the 4 braces. Create the rest of the tube gussets While still in the command, create the connections to the other ends of the braces by doing the following: 1.
Pick the main member column at bottom, beam at top. Pick the brace. Check one tube gusset connection 1. Create Default Views of Component of the tube gusset connection on the center of the X brace.
Open the Component front views to make sure there is clearance from the gusset plates to the column web. To see the column web in the connection front view, you can change the view type in the view properties dialog to rendered. This allows you to snap to all edges of parts rather than just the work points on parts.
Select the Measure horizontal distance icon, and check the clearance to the corner of the plate. Modifying Connections We will modify the connection by adding a clearance between the gusset plates and the column. We will also change the number of bolt rows.
Edit the number of bolt rows 1. Submit your feedback. Feedback Optional. This Course Includes :. Completion Certificate Sample Certificate.
