Export a part of the material catalog

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.

  1. On the File menu, click Catalogs > Material catalog to open the Modify Material Catalog dialog box.
  2. 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.

  3. Browse for the folder where you want to save the export files.

    By default, the file is saved to the current model folder.

  4. Enter a name for the file and click OK.
  5. Click OK to close the Modify Material Catalog dialog box.
  6. Click OK in the Save confirmation dialog box to save the changes.
