Enhancements in drawing colors and lines

In Tekla Structures 2026, enhancements in object colors and line types were further continued to better meet the related industry standards and regulatory requirements. You can now define the color and line type for section lines and own hidden lines in pour objects in the object, view, and drawing level properties. Additionally, you can set a fill color for filled rebar and mesh lines.

New controls for setting color and type of section lines and own hidden lines in pour objects

You can now control the color and type of section lines and own hidden lines for pour objects in all drawing types through the object and view level properties. In general arrangement drawings, you can also control these properties through the drawing level properties. The new settings, Section lines and Own hidden lines, support both standard colors and custom RGB colors.

The new line controls in the Pour object properties in the property pane:

The new line controls in the pour object properties on the view and drawing level:

Previously, only the color and type of visible lines and hidden lines in pour objects could be adjusted.

The new pour object line controls were already introduced in the Pour object property pane in Tekla Structures 2025 SP2.

New control for setting fill color for filled rebar and mesh lines

Fill color has been added as a setting for filled rebar and mesh lines in the following dialogs and property panes:

  • On the Bar appearance and Mesh appearance tabs in the reinforcement and neighbor reinforcement properties in GA drawings on the drawing and view level

  • On the Bar appearance and Mesh appearance tabs in the reinforcement and neighbor reinforcement properties in cast unit drawings on the view level

  • In the Rebar and Rebar mesh property panes

The Fill color setting is available if you have selected filled line as the representation type for the rebar or rebar mesh. You can use a standard color or a custom RGB color.

For more information, see Reinforcement object properties in drawings and Define automatic reinforcement and reinforcement mesh properties.
