You can now change the IFC entity for rebars. Previously, this was not possible.

Reference models: An IFC file originating from ArchiCAD could not be inserted as reference model in Tekla Structures. This issue has now been fixed.

IFC4 export: Previously, the DRAWING property was not exported in the IFC4 export. This issue has been fixed, and the DRAWING property is now exported.

Bolt heads in IFC export: Sometimes, bolt heads had an incorrectly large diameter when they were exported to IFC4 or IFC2x3. This issue has now been fixed.

Earlier, when showing properties by value in the property pane, the Additional matches section could show an IFC_ENTITY_OVERRIDE property that is not supposed to be modified, making it easy for users to make a mistake. This issue has now been fixed, and now these kinds of properties are not available in the property pane editor.

IFC2x3 export: Previously, if a rebar did not have a parent object, its assembly was sometimes exported to an incorrect building/storey, and thus in an incorrect location. This issue has now been fixed.

IFC4 export: The values for the attributes WEIGHT_TOTAL_IN_GROUP and TOTAL_WEIGHT_IN_GROUP are now exported.

SHAPE attributes: The SHAPE attributes, such as SHAPE.ProductWeight or SHAPE.SurfaceArea, are now supported in the model inquire and IFC4 export.

Template Editor: Template Editor stopped responding when newly added RGB colors were deleted from the color palette. This issue has now been fixed.

Rebar group marking: The dimension line arrow symbols now consistently face the same direction. Previously, the arrow symbols could have different angles.

View-specific dimensioning: The maximum number of dimensioning rules that can be added to the Dimensioning rules list was previously about 80. Now it has been increased to about 160. The number is not exact because it also depends on the length of the rule file names: with shorter names, the number is larger, and vice versa.

Merging bolt hole marks: Earlier, it was possible to merge manually bolt hole marks for bolts with different oversized holes. This issue has now been fixed, and merging bolt hole marks with different oversized holes is no longer possible.

Building hierarchy: The Name property of buildings, building sections, building storeys, and spaces can now contain a maximum of 61 characters. Previously, Name could contain a maximum of 21 characters.

Now picking a point to inquire the coordinates no longer modifies the project base point unintentionally.

Earlier, when the preliminary mark (PRELIM_MARK), a custom property (UDA), or similar was used as a part label element and did not have a value, a space character was shown in part labels in model views. This issue has now been fixed.

When the XS_ALWAYS_CONFIRM_SAVE_WHEN_EXIT advanced option is set to FALSE, Tekla Structures does not show the Exit dialog when you close a model that does not have any changes after the last save. Previously, this behavior could unintentionally keep your subscription license reserved if you closed a model where there were no changes. Now, Tekla Structures releases or keeps the subscription license according to the value of the XS_DEFAULT_KEEP_ONLINE_LICENSE_CHECKBOX advanced option even when the Exit dialog is not shown.

If you want to select whether to keep your subscription license reserved each time that you close Tekla Structures, set the XS_ALWAYS_CONFIRM_SAVE_WHEN_EXIT advanced option to TRUE. This way, the Exit dialog is always shown when you close Tekla Structures.

Now, when the shaded wireframe rendering is used in model view, the frontmost face of an object is more transparent, enabling better visibility of reinforcement and other objects behind it.

Previously, in some cases, switching between models with different Tekla Model Sharing roles caused an exception and triggered the Support tool popup. This has now been fixed.

Fillet edge visualization has been improved.

• The visualization of fillet edges in shaded wireframe views has been improved. Fillet edges are now displayed as 60% transparent edge lines in DX rendered views.
• The visualization of thin parts has been improved, particularly in Parts grayscale (Ctrl+3) rendering.

Edge lines of objects now behave consistently when zooming in or out. Previously, edge lines occasionally disappeared and then reappeared on the next zoom step. 

DSTV/NC: Earlier, when exporting a polybeam plate having a length larger than width and advanced option XS_USE_NEW_PLATE_DESIGNATION set to a value requiring to switch the width and length, the bending lines were created too short. This issue has now been fixed.
