MAIN_PART

This is a template attribute. Template attributes can be used in filtering, or to retrieve data from the model to use in drawings and reports. For example, when you create a report, Tekla Structures replaces the attributes added in the report template with the corresponding object property values.

Shows 1 to indicate the main parts of assemblies and 0 for all other objects. Can be used for sorting.

To show a main part of an assembly on top of part lists:

  1. In the Template Editor, add value field MAIN_PART to PART row.

  2. Set the Order to Descending and (if needed) hide the field in output, in the Value Field Properties dialog box.

  3. Drag the MAIN_PART field to be first in sort order in the Content browser.

Tip:

To check and highlight the main part of an assembly in the model, click the down arrow next to on the ribbon, select Assembly objects, and then select an assembly. The main part is highlighted in orange.
