If you do not want to export the whole material catalog, you can export a branch of the material tree, meaning all the material grades grouped under one material type, or a single material grade. Material catalogs are exported from Tekla Structures models as .lis files.
- On the File menu, click to open the Modify Material Catalog dialog box.
- Select material grades to be exported.
To export a branch of the material tree, right-click the branch and select Export Grades.
To export a single material grade, right-click the material grade and select Export Grade.
- Browse for the folder where you want to save the export files.
By default, the file is saved to the current model folder.
- Enter a name for the file and click OK.
- Click OK to close the Modify Material Catalog dialog box.
- Click OK in the Save confirmation dialog box to save the changes.
