Insert Tekla Warehouse content into a Tekla Structures model

You can insert certain types of content from Tekla Warehouse directly into Tekla Structures models. For example, you can add custom components, profiles, shapes, material grades, bolt assemblies, and reinforcement to Tekla Structures catalogs.

To insert content into a Tekla Structures model, the Tekla Warehouse Service must be running on your computer.

  1. Start Tekla Structures and open the model into which you want to insert content from Tekla Warehouse.
  2. In a web browser, sign in to Tekla Warehouse.
  3. Browse to the content item or use the search to locate the content item.
  4. Select the content item to insert.

    If there are different versions of the content, ensure that you insert the version that is compatible with your Tekla Structures version.

  5. Click Insert into model.
  6. Follow the installation instructions:
    1. Before starting the installation in Tekla Structures, make a copy of your model.
    2. In the Tekla Warehouse content installer dialog box, select what happens if a conflict occurs, then click Start installation.
    3. When the installation is finished, click Exit.

The Tekla Warehouse content installer dialog box notifies you when the content has been successfully inserted into the model. You can view the installed items and their installation locations.

If inserting content into a Tekla Structures model does not work as expected, try the troubleshooting steps described in About the Tekla Warehouse Service plugin.
