Question: When I try to Publish as Web Page, the dialog Yes, Publish to Tekla BIMsight / Publish as Web Page won't appear at all. Instead another dialog Publish to Tekla BIMsight opens by default. How can I restore the Publish as Web Page functionality?
Solution: It is a known issue that after selecting Yes, Publish to Tekla BIMsight and Do not show this message again the Web Viewer XML export cannot be done anymore. To publish a model again as web page, you need to modify the selection saved in the Windows registry.

To do this, you can simply Shift+click the Publish as Web Page option. This ignores the earlier selection and opens the above dialog again.
Alternatively, you can change the selection manually using Registry Editor:
- For TS versions 21.1 and earlier, open the Registry Editor and browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tekla\Structures\[TS_VERSION]\QuestionDialogs.
- for TS versions 2016... 2018i, open the Registry Editor and browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Trimble\TeklaStructures\[TS_VERSION]\QuestionDialog.
- Right click the line PublishTekla has launched a new product... and click Modify.
- Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value dialog box > type in 0 to the Value data text box.
- Click OK and xit the Registry Editor.
- Reopen Tekla Structures and select Publish as Web Page. The options Yes, Publish to Tekla BIMsight / Publish as Web Page should appear again.
