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.

This template attribute shows the DSTV-NC profile type of the part. The DSTV-NC profile types are listed in the last column in the table below.

The default profile types in Tekla Structures conform to the DSTV-NC documentation. They are defined as messages, numbered from 588 to 599, in the by_number.ail message file in the ..\Tekla Structures\<version>\bin\messages folder. The table below shows the relationship between the messages, the profiles in Tekla Structures, and the DSTV-NC profile types defined in the messages.
