What's new in template attributes in Tekla Structures 2026
Tekla Structures 2026 introduces some new template attributes and changes in existing templates.
You can use template attributes in filtering and in drawing and report templates. When you open a drawing or create a report, Tekla Structures uses the attributes and formulas to calculate and display information from the model database. The template attributes that are available in a template row definition depend on the content type of the row.
New template attributes
-
Use the
BIND_TO_LEVELStemplate attribute to report all parts that have been bound to grid levels. The attribute returns 1 if the part is bound to a grid level, and 0 if the part is not bound to any grid level.TTSD-70773
-
The new IMAGE_ID template attribute shows the image ID in the format <Id>-<SubId>. This attribute is used in reports and in some exports when exporting image ID information, for example, in the BVBS export.

Now you can get the full file name including the file name extension and the full file path including the full file name of the current report using the new template attributes OUTPUT_FILENAME and OUTPUT_FILEPATH. You can use these attributes in the report template footer, for example.

Changed template attributes
REBAR and SINGLE_REBAR content types to support level attributes
The content types REBAR and SINGLE_REBAR now support the following level-related template attributes:
These template attributes can be used to get the top level and bottom level values in reports and in rebar marks for rebar objects, such as single bars, bar groups, and rebar set bar groups.
Limitation: A rebar group in SINGLE_REBAR content type can only get a value for the whole rebar group instead of values for individual bars in the rebar group.

Assembly bounding box attributes to use unrestricted extrema
The bounding box template attributes for assemblies (ASSEMBLY.BOUNDING_BOX_MIN/MAX_X/Y/Z ), such as ASSEMBLY.BOUNDING_BOX_MIN_X, now use unrestricted extrema, which means that the drawing view restriction box does not affect the value.
For more information about the bounding box template attributes, see BOUNDING_BOX_xxx
