Update and refresh model views

Use the Update window and Redraw commands in Tekla Structures to refresh a single model view or all model views at once.

  • Update: Removes temporary graphics (such as measured distances) but does not redraw the view. Faster than redrawing.
  • Redraw: Redraws the view completely and shows all previously hidden objects.
To Do this

Update the current model view

Right-click the view and select Update window.

Update all of the model views

On the View tab, click Redraw > Erase temporary graphics.

Redraw the current model view

Right-click the model view and select Redraw view.

Redraw all of the model views

On the View tab, click .
