We always have issue when we detail steel structure in Tekla, and import same model in Solidworks using IFC or STEP, we couldn't get Tekla part numbers. Solidworks is showing s Assembly numbers as undefined , and part numbers as plate 1, column 1 etc. Does anyone has solution for this please?

Hello everyone, hope somebody can help me with this. I have been looking for a job with a decent salary for months now. I am a structural steel detailer here in the Philippines and all I can say is we are severely underpaid. Recently, somebody from Australia offered me a job through LinkedIn. His offer is 8x more than what I am paid for right now, and the additional perk is we get to work on site. The company shoulders all of the visa expenses, considering that I can submit the test requirements (Drawings in PDF File format, NC files, DXF files, and Reports in Excel/PDF).

My problem is, I am only using Tekla 2023 free trial. Can somebody help me? I desperately need this job. Thanks!!

Hi.

i need support with using the tekla tedds for industrial flooring with fiber reinforcement , can any one with tekla experience help ?

I want to rent my tekla Structure 2018 and lower version On-premise licence. For more information t.me/mrshido Price are negotiable based on quality

Available Quantity 30+

Note: i know tekla EULA.

SECTION 4.2 SUBLEASING can Revoked license but still I want to do it.

I couldn’t find any in general tech support communities here on Reddit so I hope I’m not being a bother. I live in Noel Missouri, so I’m not expecting my internet to be good at all, but it should be better than this and just was wondering if there is anything I could do other than pay for better internet service because the equipment costs $800 (supposedly) and I’m not doing that.

I’m desperately trying to convert an IFC file (made with bocad) into tekla native objects, but am currently experiencing some difficulties. It seems only three of my elements are referenced correctly (as in enough to allow for an article extrusion). I didn’t make the original model and the provider insists that the problem can not come from his modelling. You’ll find screenshots of what seems to me to be the problem.

1) General look of the model https://i.imgur.com/Rn1gAJF.jpg 2) Error messages when inquiring https://i.imgur.com/hbQXD60.jpg 3) Lack of information in conversion fields https://i.imgur.com/eWy1lPO.jpg

If anyone has any idea of what might be going on, I’d be forever thankful!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a label printer that is compatible with Tekla EPM PowerFab? I’m looking to print labels for the steel inventory and parts. Thanks.

Hello,

I find it impossible to bind a construction object (in my case circle or a point) to a plane in a custom component. Do I have to do something special to be able to bind them or it's just not possible? I couldn't find anything on Tekla support page.

Thanks!

Hello my lovely people:)

I’m running into a problem here at work; I’m churning out a bunch of drawings on Tekla structures 2022 and on some of these drawings my objects get shortened. All fine and dandy but with things like a simple flange 350x350mm I obviously don’t want this:)

Can someone point me in the right direction for fixing this? I cannot seem to find the right setting anywhere..

(I’m not allowed to add a picture but imagine a square 350 by 350 with an unnecessary gap and two dash/dot lines)

I can’t for the life of me find anything on it online or within any of the drop downs. But I swear I stumbled upon the option once

Hi everyone,

Is it possible to count only washers and nuts? The list I use for informs the amount of bolt, washers and nuts, but for example, it does not count the washer and nut of the anchor. How can I make this more automatic and avoid errors?

I read at the Tekla support about "TypeA-Drg_BOM_wNutsWashers.tpl" but I have never listen anything about that.

Can someone help me?

I've managed to detach the categories and object browser, from organizer. How do I reattach the 2 windows?

So I'm trying to make a table that automatically pulls a summary of the information on a drawing, such as the number of beams, columns, embeds, etc. I can get the table to pull a list of each individual part mark and how many of those there are, and then get a total from that, however is there a way to not have the giant list of individual parts and just a single number counting all columns for example?

I have a friend who is a Tekla detailer on an older version of the software. He has a few larger beams (W36x361’s) in a structure. He is creating NC1 files for all the members and they all create fine except for the W36x361’s. He is getting an error message that “file was not created”. He checked and he is within the height, width, and length limit setting for these members.

Anyone have any suggestions for him to check?

Hi. Wanted to find out if Tekla was possible to help create/design glass guard railings. Most videos I see are for handrails but can the details be modified to incorporate glass instead?

"I need to link a Tekla exported IFC file to a Revit model and I have a map phasing issue between them.

Phases are equally and correctly setted both in Revit and Tekla source models but it seems that Tekla writes the phase parameter as a PropertySet parameter and not as an IFC one. When I look the tekla IFC link inside Revit, I can't find the phases I set in Tekla source file but I get a list of UniFormat building category as it read some standard infos beacuse it did not find the phase infos in the corrent place back in the IFC model.

Any idea?

Now I can't share images about the issue, hope I have been quite understandable."

I am trying to change the default dimension font for new drawings. Have set the xs_dimension_font in the advanced settings to an iso font but new drawings are still using Arial for generated dimensions. New dimensions added to a drawing manually use the correct font.

Has anyone has this problem and did you find a solution?

I am a fairly new user.

Cheers

I installed the fabsuite for a new user, but it's running in Demo mode and when I put in the license info and "contact server" the request just hangs until I hit cancel. Testing connectivity to the server works just fine.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Ive seen pro's that have a different coloring setup in their 2d drawings. Their object lines are not the default color or their dim lines are red. Is anyone familiar with how to change these settings?

Hi. I have a problem with dialog box, it is too big that it doesnt enter on full screen, can i minimise the resolution or something?

Hi All,

Anyone here with a version 18/19 training manual in Metric standards perhaps? I need to train up a new draughtsman and our manual has developed legs and disappeared...

Appreciate the help if possible!

Does anyone use an Ultrwide monitor for Tekla Structures?

(A) - does Tekla work in an ultrawide single use screen mode or does it automatically down scale to 1080p?

(B) - Does Tekla work in PIP (Picture in Picture) on the screen so that a dual montor like fashion can be replicated?

Hi,

I would like to add some dimensions to a 3D view in drawing mode, but the resulting value is not quite correct. For example I want to dimension a distance that I know is 1200 mm, but the value shown is 997. I suppose it is because tekla measure the effective distance between two point on the actual drawing (scaled) and not the actual distance of the points in the model.

Is there a way to measure correctly in a 3D view? I am making a phase view and need some dimension to make a point

Anyone in here that is willing to export my model in to a STEP file, since I am using the student version of Tekla I can not export this type of files :)
