Tekla Structures

Create and modify drawing views

Drawing views contain Tekla Structures model objects, and the marks, dimensions and other objects that you have added. A drawing view is another way of looking at the model. Drawings may include several views. In addition to the views Tekla Structures creates automatically based on the drawing properties, you can also add new ones in the open drawing, and modify the existing ones.

You can have different types of views in Tekla Structures drawings:

Main views: front, top, back and bottom views
Section views
End views
Single-part views

Detail views
