Change the value of the advanced option in your .ini file if needed.
Export to TrimBIM
You can now create a TrimBIM (.trb) file directly in Tekla Structures, and select which IFC property sets are included in the TrimBIM file.
For more information about this improvement, see Verbesserung des TrimBIM-Arbeitsablaufs mit Trimble Connect in the Tekla Structures 2025 release notes.
Update your standard files if you want to use your own default values for the new options and features.
Use gradians in angle dimensions
You can now use gradians (gons) instead of degrees in angle dimensions in drawings.
For more information about this improvement, see Sonstige Verbesserungen bei Zeichnungen in the Tekla Structures 2025 release notes.
You can use the new XS_ANGLE_GRADIAN_SIGN advanced option to set the gradian sign used in
drawings. The default value is "g". Change the value of the XS_ANGLE_GRADIAN_SIGN advanced option in your .ini file if needed.
Washer and nut improvements in Template Editor
To allow nuts and washers to be correctly combined in reports, nuts and washers can now be separated within a bolt assembly in Template Editor.
For more information about these improvements, see Neues beim Vorlagen-Editor und bei Vorlagen in Tekla Structures 2025 in the Tekla Structures 2025 release notes.
The bolt inquiry report (TS_Report_Inquire_Bolt.rpt) already contains the fix. If you use custom templates, update your templates.
New advanced option for .tsep files to be automatically installed
You can use the new XS_TSEP_TO_BE_INSTALLED_ORG_DIR advanced option in the user.ini file to define the location of .tsep files to be automatically installed for all users in
the organization.
Change the value of the advanced option in your .ini file if needed.
Enhancements in the Management Console for Tekla Model Sharing
If you are an administrator in the Management Console for Tekla Model Sharing, these new enhancements help you manage your organization's shared models more securely and efficiently.
Enhanced security with malware scanning
New changes to shared models written out using Tekla Structures are now scanned for malware. If possible malware is detected, a notification is shown in the Management Console for Tekla Model Sharing, and an email is sent to the user who wrote out the model and to the users who have the Besitzer role for the model. By default, the model is also automatically locked to prevent both read-ins and write-outs. For managing the locking of the model, there is a new setting, Lock model when malware is detected. See Manage settings in the Management Console.
After investigating the model and resolving the case, Tekla Model Sharing administrators can unlock the model.
For more information, see Lock models and delete model versions in the Management Console.
Support for the separate Tekla Model Sharing Admin role
To improve access control, the administrators of an organization can now assign the new Tekla Model Sharing Admin role to users in the Tekla Online Admin Tool. Users with the Tekla Model Sharing Admin role are allowed to manage the organization's shared models, in addition to users who are full Tekla Online administrators.
Manage multiple organizations
The Management Console for Tekla Model Sharing now supports managing models for multiple organizations. Users who are Tekla Model Sharing administrators in more than one organization can select the organization where they want to manage models.
For more information, see Select the organization in the Management Console.
