Fixes

Defect number Development area Description
TSAC-1015, TSAC-1028 Concrete components Wall layout: The Walllayout.Udas.dat UDA definition file is now read from the model folder or from folders defined in XS_PROJECT. The UDA definitions are read only once during a Tekla Structures session. If the definitions vary in different models, you need to restart Tekla Structures.
TSAC-3516 Concrete components Mesh bars: The bars now always have at least the minimum length set in the Mesh bars dialog box.
TSAC-3821 Concrete components Corbel connection (14): The cast unit in the component is now not changed after modifying the component without changes to that cast unit.
TSAC-4425 Concrete components Mesh bars by area: The creation of rebar groups with exact spacing and splicing has been fixed. Previously, when the reinforcement was created by exact spacing and the splicing was not 1/1, the spacing output was inconsistent.
TSAC-4436 Concrete components Electric box in wall (84): Modifying the component without making significant changes does not cause unnecessary renumbering anymore.
TSAC-4532 Concrete components Seating with dowel (75), Two sided seating with dowel (76), Seating with dowel to flange (77), Two sided seating with dowel to flange (78): Modifying the component no longer causes the numbering status to go out of date unnecessarily.
TSAC-4533 Concrete components Embedded anchors (8), Embed (1008): Modifying the component without making changes no longer breaks numbering.
TSAC-4534 Concrete components Anchor (10): Modifying the component without making changes no longer breaks numbering.
TSAC-4535 Concrete components Concrete foundation (1030): Modifying the component without making changes no longer breaks numbering.
TSAC-4705 Concrete components Seating with dowel (75), Two sided seating with dowel (76), Seating with dowel to flange (77), Two sided seating with dowel to flange (78): The default part prefix and position number are now set properly for all parts.
TSAC-3702 Steel components Shear plate simple (146): When the secondary part was already cut before applying the component, incorrect part geometry was used when positioning bolts. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-3902 Steel components Brace corner tubes and plate (44), Brace cornet simple (49): Previously, the option to specify the connection type on the Parameters tab was not working correctly. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-3926 Steel components Splice connection (77): Previously, the weld preparation cut for weld number 7 was created incorrectly. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4484 Steel components End plate (144): Previously, stiffeners were created in the same position when a connection was modeled in certain way. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4563 Steel components Bent plate (190): Previously, bent plates were not positioned correctly according to the option selected in the component dialog box. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4688 Steel components U.S. Base plate connection (71): Beam stiffener chamfers now have the main part radius as the default size instead of zero values.
TSAC-4879 Steel components Joining plates (14): Previously, galvanizing holes were not created correctly in the second end plate. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-29711 Import, export, interoperability Trimble Connector project listing speed has been improved.
TTSD-32860 Import, export, interoperability Trimble Connector: When you attach a reference model to a folder that already contains an overlay model with the same name, the overlay model will be hidden and replaced with the reference model.
TTSD-33192 Import, export, interoperability

Trimble Connector: when you upload reference models that are rotated around the x and y axes to the linked Trimble Connect project, the reference models are now aligned properly.

TTSD-36105 Import, export, interoperability Trimble Connector: Previously, when you uploaded your Tekla Structures model to Trimble Connect, bolts in components were exported with blue color, unlike other bolts. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-36424 Import, export, interoperability Trimble Connector: Selecting multiple objects in overlay models now works faster.
TTSD-37315 Import, export, interoperability Reference models: All reference model list data was updated during operations like move, causing slowness if you had a lot of reference models. This has now been improved.
TTSD-37904 Import, export, interoperability Trimble Connector: Previously, Tekla Structures crashed when you had reference models or overlay models visible in the model and tried to exclude the Tekla Structures model from collaboration. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-38754 Import, export, interoperability Previously, Trimble Connect as XS_PROJECT or XS_FIRM used a percent sign % in folder paths to separate sub-folders and sub-folders of sub-folders. This did not work properly. That is why Trimble Connect as XS_PROJECT or XS_FIRM folder paths now use a backslash \ to separate sub-folders.
TTSD-39950 Import, export, interoperability Trimble Connector: If you do not have an access to the linked Trimble Connect project, Tekla Structures now shows the project name and the email address of the project creator. You can contact the project creator to ask for access to the project.
TTSD-40002 Import, export, interoperability IFC export: The attribute WEIGHT_ONLY_REBARS now gives a correct value for a pour unit instead of 0.0 when exported as a part of an IFC property set.
TTSD-40313 Import, export, interoperability Trimble Connector: Previously, if you used filters in the IFC export, only parts were exported. This has now been fixed, so that all content that matches the selected filter is exported.
TTSD-40590 Import, export, interoperability The DateTime user-defined attribute in .tekla models is now exported in the right format.
TTSD-41552 Import, export, interoperability IFC2x3 export: Shop welds now belong to the assembly in all export types.
TTSD-42341 Import, export, interoperability IFC4 export: The property set property value conversion from option UDA value to true or false did not work. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-42536 Import, export, interoperability Previously, adding two or more keyplans to a drawing layout in Layout editor was not possible. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-43025 Import, export, interoperability Reference models: Locked reference models could not be updated during the first refresh attempt even if the advanced option XS_REFRESH_ALSO_LOCKED_REFERENCE_MODELS was set to TRUE. This has now been fixed, and the reference models are updated normally.
TPLED-168 Templates and reports Values for custom properties are now cached, which speeds up the creation of templates that custom properties.
TPLED-185 Templates and reports Template Editor: A page header with the Output policy option Not last (not on last page) created an extra page, in which case the page numbering started incorrectly from page 2, for example. This has now been fixed.
TPLED-196 Templates and reports Template Editor: Using the CopyField function to a target valuefield that is not output sometimes still created an output. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-26432 Templates and reports Previously, when the default hole size was defined with the new property dialog boxes, it was not shown correctly in templates. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-29165 Templates and reports In previous versions, if the bolt connection had different hole diameters for parts, only one diameter (the largest) was output for both parts. This has now been fixed, and both diameters are reported.
TSAC-3069 Drawings Drawing 2D Library: There was a problem with uppercase letters changing to lowercase in detail names when you had details in the firm and project folders. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-3093 Drawings Drawing 2D Library: Fractions in imperial dimensions were not properly visible, because the dimension text fields were created with opaque background.
Now the dimension text fields have transparent background, which solves the visibility issue of fractions in imperial dimensions in 2D details created with non-native dimensions.
TSAC-3314 Drawings Drawing 2D Library: The Explode native symbols option works again.
TSAC-4371 Drawings Some recesses were not dimensioned, if a cast unit contained a large number of recesses of various sizes. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4975 Drawings

Rebar pull-out picture and marking: Lengths are now created for all rebars when Rebar location is set to the option where hooks are visible.

TTSD-17296, TTSD-39019, TTSD-42133 Drawings If bolts go through several sections of a U shape bent plate or polybeam, they are now shown correctly in unfolded single-part drawings. All holes are exported to DSTV.

There are still some limitations:
- Only one bolt group is dimensioned automatically. You can create manual dimensions for other bolt groups, but these dimensions will not be associative.
- One bolt mark will be created for one group. You can create an associative note for another, but again it will not be associative to the object.
- The parts should be of the U shape, i.e. section bolt crosses should be parallel.
- All bolts in a bolt group should go through the same part sections. If some bolts go through one section, and others through another section, this will not work. There is a simple workaround: You can split a group into several groups.  
TTSD-21184 Drawings The XS_IGNORE_CUT_VALUE_IN_TEMPLATE advanced option now works correctly when its value is set in an .ini file.
TTSD-22060 Drawings Automatic mark creation is now bit faster than before.
TTSD-22402, TTSD-29942 Drawings _BASEPOINT template attributes are now working for merged marks in drawings.
TTSD-24742 Drawings Drawings that contain custom Open API plug-ins with several graphical objects now open slightly faster.
TTSD-26431 Drawings Previously, when the default weld size was defined with the new property dialog boxes, it was not shown correctly in the templates. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-32354 Drawings The dimension associativity rule lists now open slightly faster in bigger drawings.
TTSD-34690 Drawings Dimension associativity rule lists sometimes did not show the selected associativity correctly for existing dimensions. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-34845 Drawings Moving views between drawings now works more reliably.
TTSD-35263 Drawings The cloning of the merged weld marks has been improved.
TTSD-35538, TTSD-33208 Drawings The Rebar number mark property is now correctly updated in rebar dimension marks with subgrouping for rebar sets after the model is updated and renumbered.
TTSD-35600 Drawings Updating drawing views in the model no longer causes some side panes to disappear.
TTSD-35796 Drawings Sometimes, a part mark was placed along line even if there were problems finding the direction and the Along line or leader line option was used. This has now been fixed, and the mark is placed with a leader line.
TTSD-36934 Drawings Some marks that were created in cloning were pointing to a wrong location, and the context menu did not always show for cloned marks. These have now been fixed.
TTSD-38479 Drawings Document manager: Previously, when swapping between models with Document manager active, and if the old and new models had the same collection of data grid columns,  the order, visibility and frozen state was not updated for the new model. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-40630 Drawings Earlier, detailed object level settings did not work for reference models in drawings. This has now been fixed. Particularly, it is now possible to show different reference models with different colors
TTSD-42000 Drawings Previously, level marks in drawings sometimes showed some values with incorrect accuracy. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-42933 Drawings When working in drawings with different amount of views it could happen that Tekla Structures would crash at some point. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-43068 Drawings The deletion of the main part of a drawing is no longer reported as an inconsistency in Diagnose & repair model.
TTSD-43157 Drawings The stability of radial grids in drawings has been improved.
TTSD-7454 Drawings The advanced option XS_USE_RECESS_SYMBOL_FOR_BORDER_AND_CORNER_RECESSES did not work correctly. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-28107 Tekla Model Sharing Tekla Model Sharing: Previously, errors in the objects.inp file could leave the file locked, which caused errors when other users tried to read in model changes. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-36937 Tekla Model Sharing Previously, using a Trimble Connect project folder as the XS_FIRM or XS_PROJECT folder could cause errors when opening the model. This has now been fixed.

Note that the %CONNECT_FOLDER_SYNC% setting format has been changed so that the semicolon separator (;) is no longer used.
TTSD-40843 Tekla Model Sharing Synchronizing information from a firm folder to a shared model now works correctly when a semicolon is used in the XS_FIRM path.
TTSD-41077 Tekla Model Sharing Previously, imported sketched profiles in shared models could have parameters in the wrong order, which resulted in wrong geometry. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-41149 Tekla Model Sharing Sketched profiles with variable sections are now updated correctly in shared models.
TTSD-30944 Reinforcement Rebar set legs that are shorter than the bending radius are no longer created. If there are too short legs in the middle of a bar, the short legs are ignored and the adjacent legs are joined together.
TTSD-37691 Reinforcement Rebar set concrete covers did not work correctly when a rebar set had exact start and end offsets defined. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-39354 Reinforcement Rebar set splitters with split offset now work also when a splitter is added to a leg face edge.
TTSD-40316 Reinforcement In the objects_rebar_set.inp file, the special flag settings of the rebar UDAs have been fixed.
TTSD-41740 Reinforcement Hooks were not taken into account when numbering curved rebar groups. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-41910 Reinforcement When cuts were copied from one pair of rebar sets to another, the cuts failed to find a valid target rebar set, and therefore the target rebar sets were not cut. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-42419 Reinforcement Sometimes the Copy special > To another object command did not copy rebar set cuts if the source object was the parent concrete part. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-22122 Modeling


Previously, using the bent plate GUID in a custom component formula could sometimes cause the component to change unintentionally when you modified the component parameters in the custom component dialog box. This has now been fixed.

TTSD-32857 Modeling Previously, when you split polybeams, the child objects such as edge chamfers, rebars, and surface treatment disappeared. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-34616 Modeling Previously, parts with more than two input points (for example, slabs, plates, panels, strip footings) were less accurate than objects with one or two input points (for example, columns and beams). This caused issues especially with pour objects and pour breaks between slabs. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-34623 Modeling Tekla Structures crashed when there were files with unicode characters in the model folder and the model was saved. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-37158 Modeling In some cases attempts to move a chamfer caused Tekla Structures to crash. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-37380 Modeling Previously, corner chamfers did not work correctly when they were edited in the property pane. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-39141 Modeling The performance has been improved in freeing solids from the cache.
TTSD-39553 Modeling When starting Tekla Structures, an error message is now shown if the user.config file is corrupted.
 
TTSD-39994 Modeling Sometimes the pour resolving caused a crash in solid creation. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-40467 Modeling Previously, if you changed the corner chamfer properties using the property pane when a custom work plane was set, the part moved unexpectedly. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-38189 Installation When you try to open a .tsep file and an installed version of the Tsep File Dispatcher Launcher is not found, an error message is shown. This message has been improved so that it now displays a list of the \nt\bin folder paths where the registry entries suggested that a Tekla Structures installation existed, but where no .tsep file dispatcher was found.
TSAC-3234 Tools and components Previously, the pictures that you added in the custom component dialog editor were not shown in the custom component dialog box. This has now been fixed.
