Administrator's release notes: Model templates in version update

Note: If you have model templates in Tekla Warehouse, remember to update them as well.

Update model templates

  1. Open Tekla Structures 2024.
  2. Create a new model using an existing model template.
  3. Give the model the same name as in the previous Tekla Structures version.

  4. Open a 3D view.
  5. Diagnose and repair the model.

  6. Create a project thumbnail, or add a custom image named thumbnail.png in the model folder.

    The preferred size of the image is 120 x 74 pixels.

  7. Save the model.

    If you do not save the model, a message that warns about the model being created with a previous version might be shown.

  8. Save the model as a model template.

  9. Include the needed catalog files and subfolders from the model folder, and click OK.

  10. Manually remove all *.db files (environment database, options databases) from the model folder.

    The *.bak, *.log and xs_user files are automatically removed from the model folder.

    The .idrm files (db.idrm and xslib.idrm) should be kept as they are part of the model.

    The model template is saved in the location specified by XS_MODEL_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY.

    You now have a sample image for your model template. The Applications & components catalog is now also in order and easy to use.
