Add a single material dimension to pricing

By default, only the most commonly used shapes are available in Pricing Maintenance. However, you can add new shapes that you need when combining materials in Tekla PowerFab.

Note:

Only material dimensions that are available in the material database can be added to pricing.

See Material database.

Go to Maintenance > Pricing Maintenance.

The Select Supplier dialog opens.
Select a supplier and click Open.

The Pricing Maintenance dialog opens.
Below the Shape list in the Pricing Maintenance dialog, click Add.
In the Shape list, select the shape whose dimensions you want to add and click OK.
Select the Grade and click OK.
Double-click the dimension that you want to add.
Ensure that the grade in the Grade list is correct. If not, select the correct grade in the Grade list.
Click OK.

The shape, grade, and size are added to the navigation tree and the pricing database.

Now, you can add lengths and pricing information for the newly added dimension. For more information, see Modify material lengths and pricing.
