Tips and Tricks: Part 2 - Modeling Techniques Using Tekla Structures

#teklastructures #3dmodeling #tips
This video is about TIPS and TRICKS for Tekla Structures! It has information for V2016 and up as well as pre-V2016 versions.
There are several Tekla tips and tricks for modeling in this one that are good for beginners, intermediate, and advanced users.
I hope you find this video helpful and informative!
Also, please consider subscribing to my channel (if you're interested in this kind of stuff)!
Thank you!

I make a reference in the video that the tab "IFC Export" isn't in the Bent Plate UDA dialog. This is clearly not the case and it even shows up in the video. I apologize for this error. I didn't take it out because the overall idea is that there are missing tabs in the Bent Plate UDA dialog. I don't believe the actual missing tabs are relevant in this case.

[@dgmann11]

Thank you very much, especially for the level mark tips!

[@CSWilsonDraws]

You're welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@eduhewen6851]

Thanks Wilson!

[@victorhugocamacho253]

crack! this program is a whole world! there are several things to learn! thank you so much!

[@CSWilsonDraws]

I've never heard it described that way, but it's so true. Tekla Structures is definitely "a whole world" (and we're all just living in it!). 😃

[@zimar7487]

Really great tips Mr.Wilson. Thanks for this video

[@CSWilsonDraws]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned, I have more on the way!

[@zimar7487]

Sure.. Waiting for more videos..!! :)

[@Alaa_Tariq]

Thank you!

Wilson - good idea would be prepare report template tips and tricks - all Teklans waits for it.

[@CSWilsonDraws]

That's a good idea! I'll have to start compiling a list. Thanks!

[@narayanbangade4002]

while making clone of assembly I lost single part in drawing. please help

[@chappyaugusto]

Hello Wilson: I am looking for " stairs whit landing layout, command , I can't find it thank you for any help.

[@paneristovski5512]

Next time maybe you can include tips for code package for users how not use Latin letters cyrillic, chines greeks ant others), I mean problems what tekla make with words when drawings are exported in dwg.

[@mddidarulalam979]

Thanks, dear.
If we use drawing view base datum we won't get real level in the model by inquiry command which is important in collaboration.
Is there any way in model similary?

[@gullan9604]

The relatively new functionality Base point and Project base point, allows you to set an "insertion point" and rotation for your model. This allows you to use that in any drawing and export functionality.
If you want to see "correct" elevation in the model view using Inquiry you need to modify the inquiry-dialog. That requires some skills in template-programming. The templates that are used for inquiry might differ depending on your installed environment, and can be found in >Tekla installation folder>\environment\common\system , ie C:\TeklaStructures\2018\Environments\common\system. Their name starts with TS_Report_Inquire_.rpt where might be "Part", "Cast_Unit", and so on. Please note that your own installed environment might have some or all of these files in corresponding environment, for instance; C:\TeklaStructures\2018\Environments\sweden\system and therefor overrides the ones in common. My guess is that if you place a copy for testing in model folder that will be used primarly.
These rpt-files can be opened in Template editor. You need to localize the valuefield that uses TOP_LEVEL_GLOBAL and change or perhaps better add a new valuefield with the attribute TOP_LEVEL_PROJECT (for project basepoint-used top level) or TOP_LEVEL_BASEPOINT (for current basepoint-used top level).

Hi Gullan, thanks mate.

[@obedtari8390]

Hey I am having a problem with my Tekla Structural Designer. When I apply automatic loading Wizard wind earthquake and snow it says no variant wizard for current code. I am using Australian Environment. How Can I solve this problem. Can you help me out please? thank you

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Sorry. I don’t know anything about TSD. Hopefully, someone else might see your comment and respond.

[@jordanhernadi2157]

this imperial unit is crazy, it would be more confusing if you would use roman numerals, like CXII'-IV I/XVI

[@prakilpmp]

Can i contact you
For clearing some doubts

[@FinoMarg]

Can I create colourful drawings

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Yes. This is possible in Tekla Structures.

[@FinoMarg]

CS Wilson Draws can u create a video on that

[@CSWilsonDraws]

I will try, but in the meantime, have a look at this link: teklastructures.support.tekla.com/2017/en/dra_colors_in_drawings

[@AtulEngineer]

how to export tekla model to staad and sap 2000

[@CSWilsonDraws]

For Staad, see this link: teklastructures.support.tekla.com/2017/en/int_exporting_a_staad_model
For Sap2000: teklastructures.support.tekla.com/2017/en/int_sap2000

[@AtulEngineer]

thanks I will try. Is thee any link software which works with latest version of staad and SAP 2000 & Tekla. Till 2007 there was.

[@CSWilsonDraws]

I don't work with either of these so I honestly don't know. You might try checking the Tekla Warehouse for additional software.
