Add sketch objects in drawings

Sketch objects are objects that you might want to add in a drawing to highlight important information, or to indicate the positions of openings, windows, doors, and such. In Tekla Structures drawings, you can draw clouds, lines, circles, rectangles, arcs, polylines, and polygons, for example.

You can manually explode and combine many types of sketch objects, cover part lines and faces, and create fillets and chamfers. You can re-order sketch objects, or sketch objects and building objects. You can also trim, extend, split and divide sketch objects, and copy objects using offset.

Sketch objects are associative if they have associativity points, which means that they are attached to a building object through a point, for example, a leader line start point.
