You can export Tekla Structures models as .skp files to be used in Trimble
SketchUp.
Trimble SketchUp is
a modeling software used in architecture, construction, engineering, and landscape
architecture, for example. 3D Warehouse contains lots of SketchUp models
that you can import as reference models to Tekla Structures.
You can insert Sketchup files as reference
models to Tekla Structures. For more information about inserting reference models, see
Insert a reference model.
Tekla Structures supports SketchUp version 2021 and earlier in export and
reference model insert.
