Geometry detailing strip
Geometry detailing strip allows modeling of wall edge thickenings, recess patterns, wall corbels, mock joints, and facade protrusions. Note that this component is for precast use only.
Geometry detailing strip can be used for adding detailed geometry to any object. You can create different settings for Geometry detailing strip and select the appropriate settings for each situation.
The tool uses irregular concrete profile catalog profiles. If these profiles are not found in your Tekla Structures environment, download them to your model from the Tekla Warehouse local content.

You can control the properties of the created part. With the Use main part properties option, the added part gets the properties of the main part. Otherwise, you can select the saved standard attributes for the concrete beam. Note that if you change the saved properties afterwards, you need to modify the geometry detailing strip to get the properties of the added part updated. |
