Update dimension weights for newly added shapes

When material weight standards change, you can update the unit weights of material groups with the Global Edit - Unit Weight command. For example, you can use the Global Edit - Unit Weight command to update the weights of newly added shapes. Tekla PowerFab then calculates the weights based on the existing dimensions.

Go to Maintenance > Shapes/Grades/Sizes.

The Shape/Grade/Size Maintenance dialog opens.
Click the Shape/Grade/Size Maintenance ribbon tab.
On the menu, select Global Edit - Unit Weight.
The Shapes / Grades / Sizes Global Edit - Unit Weight dialog opens.
In the Shape list, select the desired shape.
In the Material list, select the desired material group.
In the field on the right side of the Material list, define the weight of the material.
Click the arrow buttons to move the dimensions whose weights you want to update to the Included list.
Click Update.
