Trimble Connect

This opens the Trimble Connect Project Explorer, a dialog that controls the flow of information between the Tekla Structural Designer model and the Trimble Connect project.

Note: The Tekla Structural Designer model can only be attached to a Trimble Connect project from the Trimble Connect Project Explorer, and not from the web or Windows apps. The model must be attached before any information can move between Tekla Structural Designer and Trimble Connect.

See: Working collaboratively with Trimble Connect

Trimble Connect Web

This launches the in-browser Trimble Connect Web app. If the open model is associated with a Trimble Connect project, the project itself is opened, otherwise a default Trimble Connect page is opened.

See: Working collaboratively with Trimble Connect

Trimble Connect for Windows

This launches the Trimble Connect for Windows application. If the open model is associated with a Trimble Connect project then that project is opened.

See: Working collaboratively with Trimble Connect
