Wall layout elementation tool now allows the elementation of cast-in-place (non-precast) layers.

Wall layout: Previously, there was an issue related to the height of the wall when the current work plane in the model was not parallel with the global work plane. This issue has now been fixed.

Embedded anchors (008): On the Input tab, you can now use the new Keep local direction setting to ensure that all anchors placed on opposite faces have the same Y axis always pointing to the main part of the assembly. This setting cannot be used together with the Check top-in-form-face direction setting.

Mesh bars: Rebar groups that are separated from other rebar groups (the groups do not have any connection or do not cross each other) are now placed into separate rebar assemblies. 

Braced girder (88, 89): Previously, in some situations, side bars were not created because of the small distance between rebar points. Now, the minimum distance is handled based on the defined radius and rebar size.  Additionally, long side bars that are managed through multiple polygons are now connected linearly without any split or gap between them.

Border rebar for single edge (93): Previously, edge bars were not created on the inner edges when the creation method Between input points was used. This issue has now been fixed.

Column with stiffeners (188): Previously, the weld between the shear tab and the main part was not created in some situations. This issue has now been fixed.

Connection plate (1026): Previously, the bolt assembly option on the Bolts tab did not work correctly. This issue has now been fixed.

Stairs (S71): Previously, when the bolt tolerance for catalogue steps was left empty, the default tolerance 0.0 was used. This issue has now been fixed, and the correct bolt tolerance is used.
 

Two sided clip angle (143): Previously, the vertical cut/offset value for safety connections affected the vertical position of bolts. This issue has now been fixed.

Two sided end plate (143): Previously, an incorrect number of bolts with incorrect bolt edge distances was created when the safety connection option was used. This issue has now been fixed.

Stiffened shear plate (17): Previously, the distance between the stiffener and the secondary part was not correct. This issue has now been fixed.

Stub connection (119): Previously, the connection was not created correctly if the secondary part was sloped or skewed with a very small angle. This issue has now been fixed.

Stiffened end plate (27): Previously, the welds between the end plate and the secondary part were created in an incorrect place in some situations. This issue has now been fixed.

Clip angle (141): Previously, the weld gap option on the Parts tab worked only when both clip angles were created. This issue has now been fixed. The weld gap also works for a single clip angle.

Railings (S77): Previously, the part properties of bends created at the end stanchions were not correctly applied. Now the properties are applied as defined on the Bends tab > 90 degree bend option. If the properties are left empty, the default values from the Top rail properties are used.

CMF Eaves brace (54): The standard hole size for the CMF system has been increased from 14 mm to 18 mm (12 mm bolts to 16 mm bolts). CMF Eaves brace (54) has been updated accordingly.

Tube gusset (20): Previously, the gusset plate cut in the main part was not created correctly in some situations. This issue has now been fixed. 

Albion File transfer (95): Previously, components with more add parts (end cleats) than expected did not allow the CAM to complete. This issue has now been fixed.

CMF Side rail support profile for the 233 deep section and greater has been updated. Any modification to the component or any new component that is created will use the new profile. Profile database updates may be required.

Metsec Side rail supports (28): Assembly mark has been added for diagonal tie wires.

Handrail 1 (74): Previously, the cover plate and end plate material and name were not correctly applied in the component. This issue has now been fixed.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: When transferring design intent reinforcement from Tekla Structural Designer, in beams the longitudinal bar end offset was not correct in some cases. This resulted in a gap in the beam top bars. This issue has been fixed now. Also the Tekla Structural Designer beam name references with their respective Tekla Structures identifier are now shown in the import progress log for the beams with change in direction.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: In the start and end zones of walls, the rebar end offset positions were incorrect. Walls with more than one panel were using the longitudinal rebar spacing positions from the first panel (which might differ from the second panel etc.). These issues have now been fixed.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: When importing models from Tekla Structural Designer, you can use the previously implemented property mapping file to control part names, but where those do not apply, the part names for pile caps, piles, and portal rafters will default to "PILE_CAP", "PILE", and "RAFTER" respectively.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: Issues have been fixed in beam rebar import. Also issues related to rebar end offsets and with end hooks and cranks have been fixed.

Drawing DWG export now works better when exporting general arrangement drawings with elevation.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: If non-vertical walls are found in import, a warning message along with the Tekla Structural Designer wall reference (wall name and panel index) is shown in the process log. The message lists the walls that are imported as vertical panels with incorrect rebar data.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: The major offset alignment for beam profile import has been corrected. Import alignments have been corrected for beam and column single and double angled sections for both .cxl and .tsmd file import.

Trimble Connect: Support for the new Trimble Connect Australia region has been added as an option to select from the Project Server Location list in the Trimble Connect - Select project dialog box.

Drawing DWG export: The drawing DWG export now handles better the files that have been added in the drawing layout.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: Although effectively the same, in some cases the part position settings in Tekla Structures might change, for example, Rotation from Back -45 to Top 45. For re-imported sections at 45 degree angles (45, 135, 225, or 315), the next and previous octant position settings are now checked and compared against the existing Tekla Structures part position. The import comparison now uses the Tekla Structures preferred position settings to avoid changed positions being reported.

IFC4 export: Custom properties giving negative integer or double values could not be exported to IFC4. This issue has now been fixed.

IFC2x3 export: In the IFC2x3 export, if XS_USE_INTEGRATED_BUILDING_HIERARCHIES is set to TRUE, grid assignment to building is now aligned with other model entities so that there are no duplicate building entries in the output.

IFC2x3 export: The export of rebar assemblies was sometimes unsuccessful if you had selected to export Bolts or Welds on the Advanced tab in the export dialog box. This issue has now been fixed.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: Corrections have been made to the calculation of supported beam center point, used to position the pile cap or pad footing, for example.

Export to Tekla Structural Designer: Members with position plane or depth offsets (or both) and unequal end offsets are now correctly exported and positioned in Tekla Structural Designer. Tekla Structures position offsets and end offsets are converted to resultant global member offsets in Tekla Structural Designer.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: Tekla Structural Designer members with alignment offset and unequal global end offsets are now correctly positioned on import into Tekla Structures. Tekla Structural Designer offsets are converted to resultant global end offsets when importing to Tekla Structures.

IFC2x3 export: Previously, a possible model corruption that was not fixed by diagnosing and repairing the model could cause Tekla Structures to stop working while exporting to the IFC2&3 format. The issue has now been fixed. Tekla Structures does not stop working anymore.

Rebar pull-out picture and marking: You can now add custom properties in the marks.

The rebar group dimensioning speed has been improved if parts contain openings (cuts). This speeds up the drawing opening time when the drawing contains a large number of Rebar group dimensioning components.

Previously, in some rare cases, hole dimensioning could cause Tekla Structures to stop working. This issue has now been fixed. Also, the speed of hole and recess dimensioning has been improved.

Previously, some bolt marks were automatically merged when they should not have been merged. This issue has now been fixed.
 

Fabrication drawings: The Creation review dialog box now finds settings in all subfolders under the XS_FIRM and XS_PROJECT folders.

Cloning: The cloning of the dimension marks now works more reliably.

In drawing view properties, dimensioning properties were showing attribute files from the subfolders of XS_FIRM, however these were not always read. This issue has now been fixed.

Merged marks: Merged marks in drawings now split more reliably when necessary.

Model weld marks in drawings: Earlier, weld marks disappeared when you added weld marks in another view, created detail or section views, or modified drawing view properties. Now the weld marks work correctly.

Drawing shapes: The contextual toolbar now shows the bulge for the shape objects in drawings properly.

Recreating a drawing in the drawing properties dialog box now works correctly.
 

FOG rendering: When using the FOG rendering engine for rendering, the model view got frozen when you switched to the model view from a drawing view. This issue has now been fixed.

Previously, when creating a drawing with the Auto setting that lets Tekla Structures determine if a view should be created, it was possible in some situations that the correct view attributes were not used. This issue has now been fixed.

Previously, there was an application error when removing the outer frame of a mark in the property pane. This issue has now been fixed.

Text properties: The Rotation setting was not available for text objects in some environments. This issue has now been fixed.

Merged rebar marks: Merged rebar marks in drawings were losing loaded standard settings (standard.mrm) and default settings on every selection. This issue has now been fixed.

Surface treatment: Earlier, when you selected an existing surface treatment and loaded surface treatment properties with the same surface pattern, not all properties were shown correctly in the property pane. This issue has now been fixed.

Sometimes Tekla Structures stopped responding when you opened a drawing after cloning. This issue has now been fixed.

Previously, Tekla Structures could in some rare situations stop working when defining associative notes in the property pane. This issue has now been fixed.

Previously, Save as was not working properly in Drawing layout editor. This issue has now been fixed.

Model welds marks in drawings: Earlier, when you created a drawing and used the Weld marks visible: In one view option, the weld marks for inclined welds were not always created. This issue has now been fixed.

The Creation view dialog box for fabrication drawings now works more reliably when selecting cloning templates from another model. 

Earlier, when recreating a drawing, in certain situations neighbor part dimensions were not created. This issue has now been fixed.
 

Reinforcement meshes: You can now use the new CUSTOM.MESH_LONGITUDINAL_NET and CUSTOM.MESH_CROSS_NET attributes to show the mesh size and the length of longitudinal and cross bars separately.

Rebar shape manager: In some cases, circular bars were not visualized correctly in Rebar shape manager. This issue has now been fixed.

Rebar sets: Property pane editor now works more reliably with rebar sets and modifiers.

Rebar sets: The calculation of hooks on curved rebar set bars has been made much more accurate. The improvement is most noticeable with longer length hooks.

Rebar sets: The calculation of circular rebar set bars with some overlap and a hook was incorrectly removing most of the bar geometry, and just leaving the overlapping part. This issue has now been fixed.

No paint area: The Color list on the Surfacing attributes tab now shows the colors in addition to listing them as text. Also, the empty spaces that were added in front of and after the surface treatment name and material are now removed when leaving the Name and Material boxes.

No paint area: The standard attribute file for the default and common environments has been updated.

Clash check was not working properly when imperial units were used. This issue has now been fixed.

Now, when you select an object, property pane updates immediately whether it is open or not. 

If you want to revert to the old functionality, set the advanced option XS_IMMEDIATE_PROPERTY_PANE_UPDATE to FALSE.

Property pane now includes Temperature and Density properties.

Previously, if the user was signed in to Tekla Structures when they installed Windows updates, Tekla Structures showed that no licenses were available after the computer was restarted. This issue has now been fixed.

Previously, Tekla Warehouse Installer did not warn and prompt you if you were installing a .uel component file with a name that was already used in the Applications and components catalog. This has now been fixed.

The Swap handles macro now works with inclined parts.

Previously, when you selected a custom component, direct modification highlighted the objects in wireframe in front, and eventually selected a rendered object behind the highlighted object. This has now been fixed, and the rendered object is highlighted and selected even if it is behind a wireframe object.
 

Multi Report Generator: You can now define an input list (MultiReportGenerator.inp) which will be searched according to the regular file search order.

Property pane is now more robust in the UDA handling.

The title bar controls in side pane windows, such as Close, now show highlight when you place mouse on top of the control to indicate whether it is clickable.

Tekla Online side pane: The Tekla Online side pane shows the Online content could not be loaded message when you are offline.
