Improvements in Floor layout

  • You can now lock and unlock seams on the contextual toolbar.

    When a seam is locked and you are dragging the seams (with or without the Alt/Ctrl key pressed), only the seams in the range between the locked seams are changed. The first and last seams in the layout are always locked (fixed), and if none of the other seams are locked, the dragging works as before.

    Dragging the seam handles is easier than before as the handles now extend outside the slab. The locked seam is shown in red.

    Locked seams keep their location, and new slabs are created or removed inside the locked range if you change the slab width, seam gap or seam center measures, or remove any of the slabs with narrowed width.

    TSAC-614

  • You can now use the new Extra narrowing property to increase the gap between slabs when the other slab is cut inside the layout. You can find Extra narrowing on the Advanced tab. With the default value 0 (zero), the final gap has the same value as before.

    TSAC-4444

  • You can now split an existing floor layout into two separate floor layouts. Select either a seam or a break line, and click the new button on the contextual toolbar. After the splitting, you can modify both layouts independently. Note that splitting cannot be reverted, and you cannot combine the two layouts again.

    TSAC-4443

Improvements in Reinforced concrete stair (95)

  • On the Rebar H tab, you can now create multiple overlapping stirrups in a row.

    TSAC-4872

  • You can now set an individual name and class for extra landing parts on the Stairs and landings tab.

TSAC-1830 Concrete components

Wall layout opening: Previously, loading filler part properties from a file and then applying them did not work properly if the file contained some special characters (non-English characters). This has now been fixed.

TSAC-2834 Concrete components Wall to wall connection: Previously, the partially open groove was not properly using the groove width property. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4224 Concrete components

Wall layout opening: The minimum size of the openings that can be created has been lowered. Originally, the size was 50 x 50 mm for square openings and 50 mm for the radius of circular openings. Now the size has been lowered to 10 x10 mm and 10 mm for the radius of circular openings.

TSAC-3945 Drawings Rebar pull-out picture and marking: Dimensions in cm/m format now have the correct decimal format.
TSAC-4958 Drawings Tekla Structures froze because of an issue related to the Rebar shape evaluator. There was a compatibility issue between Tekla Structures models created in versions 2016 - 2019, when they were opened in Tekla Structures versions 2019i - 2021, causing invalid rebar geometry when XS_REBAR_RECOGNITION_HOOKS_CONSIDERATION was set to FALSE. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-38205 Drawings Reference models in drawings: Sometimes a reference model was not highlighted in a drawing when selected. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-38406 Drawings Reference models in drawings: Hidden lines in reference models  were not correctly removed or dashed. This has now been fixed.

TTSD-41077 Tekla Model Sharing Previously, imported sketched profiles in shared models could have parameters in the wrong order, which resulted in wrong geometry. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-41149 Tekla Model Sharing Sketched profiles with variable sections are now updated correctly in shared models.
TSAC-3351 Modeling Array of objects (29): Previously, when the copied objects included cuts and the cuts were not included in the component input objects, the cuts were left in the model after copying. This has now been fixed.
 
TTSD-17018, TTSD-42724 Modeling Previously, when a model contained bent plates but the bent plate geometry was missing, opening a model view or selecting a bent plate with missing geometry caused Tekla Structures to crash. This has now been fixed. You can now find the parts with missing geometry when diagnosing the database.
TTSD-33355 Modeling Improvements have been made to avoid and repair drawings corruption.
TTSD-34269 Modeling Previously, it was sometimes not possible to snap to the intersection point of a construction line and a construction circle because the snap zone was too strict. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-37917 Modeling Sometimes, after importing a sketched profile, and restarting Tekla Structures, other sketched profiles got corrupted and were showing incorrect properties in the profile catalog. This situation has now been fixed.
TTSD-40031 Modeling Previously, using the Undo and Redo commands when modifying user-defined attributes was not notified to applications that needed this information. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-40931 Modeling Previously, if a slab or a plate was inclined in both the x and y directions, converting it to an item made it lose its inclination in one of the directions. Now this has been fixed, and the item is positioned exactly as the inclined slab or plate was.
 
TTSD-41091 Modeling Previously, when creating a construction circle, it was not possible to snap to a part center line. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-42370 Modeling Previously, in some cases Tekla Structures could crash when you modified rebar set properties in the property pane. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-33377 Installation Tekla Structures extension manager is now shown in the Tekla Structures language that is in use.
TTSD-40288 Core Previously, Tekla Structures could in some cases crash when exiting. This has now been fixed.

TTSD-30325 Tools and components Previously, when deleting custom components in the Applications & components catalog, all the selected items were not always deleted. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-33134 Tools and components Editing and saving a custom component sometimes incorrectly updated the assembly main parts in the model. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-36164 Tools and components It is now possible to load and use .NET component attribute files from system components.
TTSD-41175 Tools and components Previously, the custom component variable value type Distance list total produced incorrect results in equations, when using US imperial units. Now Distance list total works correctly for both metric and imperial units.
 
TTSD-41266 Tools and components When importing a custom component, the distance bindings could sometimes be lost. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-41836 Tools and components In the Applications and components catalog, the search view was not updated when adding, removing or modifying items, for example macros. This has now been fixed.

TSAC-4725 Import, export, interoperability (concrete) Export ELiPLAN file (68): A new plotter record of type BL is now exported for the hollow core elements to define the side that has been cut. The border line record is exported as line parallel with the longer side of the hollow core element. This record is exported automatically with the export version 3.
TSAC-4926 Import, export, interoperability (concrete) Export Unitechnik (79): You can now export line cuts, fittings and chamfers as MOUNPART block using the new setting Export cut edges on the Embeds tab. The geometry will be a simple line, and the MOUNPARTs have fixed names. Line cuts and fittings are plotted along the cut edge. Chamfers are plotted at the inner line of the chamfered edge.
TSAC-4966 Import, export, interoperability (concrete) Export EliPLAN file (68): Previously, weep holes were sometimes generated outside the element. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4967 Import, export, interoperability (concrete) Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, no line attributes were recognized for edges that were diagonally cut completely. Now they can be scanned as chamfers or special formwork by managing the setting for chamfer maximum width.
TSAC-4979 Import, export, interoperability (concrete) Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, in line attribute scanning, partial cuts at the edge of the element could occasionally cause other nearby edges to also have special formwork code. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4991 Import, export, interoperability (concrete) Export Unitechnik (79): You can now set manual line attributes to override scanned CUTOUT line attributes as well. This affects window openings, for example. The new option is available in all of the 6 override settings on the Line attributes tab.
TSAC-5049 Import, export, interoperability (concrete) BVBS Export: Similar rebar groups with different private data blocks are now exported separately.
TSAC-5069 Import, export, interoperability (concrete) Export Unitechnik (79):

  • Embeds tab: The Export insulation setting has a new option As layers and embeds, which exports insulation in the SLABDATE block as layers and in the MOUNPART block as embeds.
  • SLABDATE block data tab: The Quality of layer setting has new options Name and Template to give more possibilities to specify the quality of layer.
TSAC-5092 Import, export, interoperability (concrete) Export Unitechnik (79): A new option Export shell gap width has been added on the SLABDATE block data tab to control or disable the export of the gap width value. The options are No - no gap is exported, Double wall only - the gap is exported only for double walls, and Layered panels - the gap is exported for all panels with multiple concrete layers, such as double walls and sandwich walls. The default option is Double walls only, as the value should only be used with double walls in most control systems.
