You can modify, copy, move, and remove existing pour breaks.

Before you start:

  • Ensure that the Direct modification switch is active.
  • Ensure that the Select pour breaks selection switch is active.
  • Select the pour break.

    Tekla Structures displays the handles and dimensions that you can use to modify the pour break.

To modify a pour break:

To Do this
Change the shape or location of the pour break Drag a corner point or an end point to a new location.
Change a location dimension Drag a dimension arrowhead to a new location, or:
  1. Select the dimension arrowhead which you want to move.
  2. Using the keyboard, enter the value with which you want the dimension to change.

    To start with the negative sign (-), use the numeric keypad.

    To enter an absolute value for the dimension, first enter $, then the value.

  3. Press Enter, or click OK in the Enter a Numeric Location dialog box.
Add an intermediate point to the pour break Drag a midpoint handle to a new location.

  2. Press Delete.
Modify the pour break properties
