Enhancement: Tekla Structural Designer Integrator for Autodesk Revit 2026 (TSD-17534)
The Tekla Structural Designer Integrator add-on is now fully compatible with Autodesk Revit® 2026. You can now import, export, and merge models between Tekla Structural Designer and Revit 2026, enhancing your workflow and integration capabilities.

Enhancement: Revit integrator workshared models - check ownership of instances for selected imports (TSD-18092)
Selective updates into workshared models now check ownership only for the selected instances, rather than checking ownership of all structural instances in the model.
Enhancement: Revit integrator workshared models - add logging of checked out element ID's and owner user names (TSD-18067)
Revit Workshared Models – When attempting to import, export, or generate an analytical model, the process will check the status of structural instances. If instances checked out by other users are found, the integrator will stop the operation and log an error with the affected element IDs and corresponding usernames.

Fix: Handle concrete dimension error (TSD-17930)
User defined parameter names for rectangular concrete Structural Framing or Structural Column families are now handled.The dimensions for b (breadth) and h (height) are obtained from section shape parameters rather than from family type parameters.
Similarly, exported dimensions for circular and circular hollow concrete columns are now obtained from section shape parameters.
Enhancement: Revit integrator masonry wall material mapping (TSD-15554)
A number of changes have been made to the import and export of material grades for masonry walls.
Import processes
During import processes, the Mapping - Material Grades dialog now shows information for Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) mapping.
Fig 3. Import mapping of masonry wall elements.
Generic masonry types are automatically defined as part of the import process. Where masonry types cannot be found in the Revit template, new types will be generated as part of the import process and a warning is assigned to the run log.
If the imported model contains custom masonry wall grades and no suitable mapping exists, a new Revit masonry type can be created by entering the desired type name directly into the Revit Name field.

Export mapping
On export, the Mapping - Material Grades dialog now references Masonry Wall material information.
Tekla Structural Designer custom masonry grades can be mapped by typing the grade name directly into the Export Name field.
Note that the Export Name must exactly match the custom grade name for it to map automatically when importing into Tekla Structural Designer.

Enhancement: Import masonry wall grout, reinforcement and patch data from Tekla Structural Designer (TSD-17726)
For US Imperial models: Masonry wall grout, reinforcement and patch information is now imported. This data can be shown on any created schedules or included in Wall tags as desired.

Fix: Revit Integrator - merge model update into Revit removing the column physical offsets (TSD-18129)
An error where Structural Column : Top and Base Offset values were lost when performing an update from Tekla Structural Designer has been fixed.
Fix: Revit Integrator - display brace minimum and maximum axial force parameters in Revit (TSD-18162)
Minimum axial force data for brace instances is now imported from Tekla Structural Designer.
The axial brace forces now match the relevant design report in Structural Designer.
N.b. The maximum axial force is already displayed.
Fig 7. Minimum and maximum axial forces on a Structural Framing - Brace instance.
Fix: Revit Integrator - ensure that custom mapping overrides are not saved over core application files (TSD-18425)
The user is now prevented from overwriting Revit Integrator application mapping files.
Fig 8. Warning displayed when attempting to overwrite Grades.xml.
Fix: Revit Integrator - Formatting numeric values as regional settings (TSD-18448)
In Windows, under Clock and Region > Additional Settings, the decimal symbol setting can cause issues when importing analysis results from Structural Designer into Revit, particularly if it's set to a comma (,). In such cases, relevant properties for beams, columns, and braces may appear blank, even though they're present in the CXL file This issue has now been fixed.
Fix: Revit Integrator - Column truss axial forces incorrectly processed as brace forces creating an import exception (TSD-18454)
Imported column trusses were incorrectly processed as brace axial forces resulting in an import error. This has now been fixed.
Fix: Revit Integrator - Improve export handling of material with no export name (TSD-18469)
Unmapped materials were previously exported with generic names such as Steel, Concrete, or Wood. The Revit Integrator now uses the Revit name as the export name when no material mapping is found. This update makes it easier to identify specific materials and select the correct grade mapping when importing into Structural Designer.
