Disable pour management temporarily
You can temporarily disable pour management. This may be needed if pour management seems to significantly slow down your model, for example, when the pours and pour objects are very large and require splitting into smaller ones.
When pour management is temporarily disabled, the existing pour objects and pour breaks are still present in the model, but any modifications to the model geometry that would normally update pour objects and pour breaks automatically will not do that. Any information related to pours will be outdated and inaccurate, for example, in reports, and the pour breaks will not be adaptive. They will be updated automatically when you re-enable pour management.
To disable or re-enable pour management:
- Go to Quick Launch, start typing pours and pour breaks, and select the Toggle pours and pour breaks command from the list that appears.
- Click Yes in the confirmation dialog box.
If you are working in a Tekla Model Sharing model, remember to re-enable pour management before you write out. Similarly, if you are working in the multi-user mode, re-enable pour management before you save the model. In this way, information related to pours stays up to date for all users of the model.
If you have problems
opening a large model with pour objects that contain many parts, you may need to
disable pour management before you open the model. You can do this by modifying
the xs_user.[user name] file located in the
model folder. Set PAPB
to 0
to
disable pours, and then save the file.
When needed, remember to re-enable pour management.
