Wall to wall connection: Loose bars are now positioned correctly when a negative gap offset is used.

Railings (S77): Previously, when the horizontal length of the closure was specified as 0.0, the vertical rails (pickets) were not created correctly. This issue has now been fixed.

Spiral stair (S68): Previously, steps were created with an incorrect geometry when a small outer radius was specified for the steps. This issue has now been fixed.

Stanchions - Railings - Kick plates (S86): Previously, exploding the component was not working correctly. This issue has now been fixed.

Tube gusset (20): Previously, weld 2 was not created correctly. This issue has now been fixed. In addition, weld 9 has been added as a weld between the connection plates and the middle end plate.

Railings (S77): Previously, when using the Other rail to stanchion fitting options, the part cut was created in an incorrect position for some stanchions. This issue has now been fixed.
 

Tube crossing (22): Previously, weld 2 was not created correctly. This issue has now been fixed. In addition, weld 3 has been added as weld between the connection plates and the middle end plate.

Gusset+ T: Previously, the connection did not work in the Japanese environment when the brace connection type was set to Built up. This issue has now been fixed.

Shear plate simple (146): Previously, when the beam flange cut was set to square and a notch was also created, the depth of the square flange cut was not the same as the notch cut depth. This issue has now been fixed.

Shear plate simple (146): Previously, when the secondary part was skewed and the web was cut square, the bolt edge distance was not correct. This issue has now been fixed.

JP Full depth special (185): Previously, the shear tab was created in an incorrect position in some situations. This issue has now been fixed.

Welded gusset (10): Previously, the cut in the bracing around the gusset was created with incorrect dimensions in some situations. This issue has now been fixed.

Tube gusset (20): The default values of stiffener chamfer sizes are now taken from the main part profile radius.

Stiffened end plate (27): Previously, when the horizontal offset of bolts was specified, the end plate was moved incorrectly. This issue has now been fixed.

Tube gusset (20): Previously, when the horizontal gusset offset was not specified, the gusset plate was not created in some situations. This issue has now been fixed.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer:

If additional rebar sizes are added to the Tekla Structural Designer reinforcement database, their names should not include the '#' character. For example, when adding US Customary sizes to the United States metric database, use names like 3, 4, 5, 6, and so on. These names will then be correctly mapped to the corresponding rebar definitions in the Tekla Structures rebar catalog.

Both the import and preview rebar conversion processes now have warnings about failed mappings. The rebar conversion preview now includes all object types. Previously it only considered slabs.

IFC4 export: Earlier, when curved beams with an 180 degrees angle were exported in the IFC4 format, the beams were exported with an offset from their original position. This issue has now been fixed.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: Trapezoidal pile caps can now also be imported for the USA environment.

Drawing DWG/DXF/DGN export: Layer/level names are now case sensitive.

IFC2x3 export: Now, double nuts for bolts with cup heads are exported with a 30-degree rotation relative to each other, improving visualization.

IFC4 export: Previously, IfcIdentifier was exported as IfcText. Now, the type is retained.

Previously, it was not possible to change the default editor units from millimeters to inch fractions. This has now been fixed.

When a component height was not aligned to the grid, the Align to grid command did not work correctly for objects. This has now been fixed.

Dimension properties: Dimensions properties are now correctly loaded from the XS_FIRM folder and its subfolders.

Dimension properties: You can now use special characters, such as ß, in the dimension property settings file name.

Document manager: The Select and show only drawings containing parts currently selected in the model button is now enabled also when a drawing is open. Earlier, this button was disabled when a drawing was open.

Reference models: Sometimes, some parts of reference models were using fill when they should not have been. This issue has now been fixed.

Aligning views in drawings: Earlier, aligning drawing views to a point using the align objects commands on the ribbon did not work and the status bar displayed a prompt Pick an point in any languages.

Now, drawing views can be aligned to a point using the align objects commands. The status bar now displays the  prompt in any active Tekla Structures language, and in English the prompt has been revised to Pick a point. Any unexpected exceptions are output to the Tekla Structures session log.

Document manager: Document manager is now faster when issuing or unissuing a large number of drawings based on model selection.

Fabrication drawings: There were some problems in the user interface functionality when you tried to use Smart create for creating rebar assembly drawings. This has now been fixed.

Rebar dimension tags: You can again add templates in rebar dimension tags.

Drawing property pane: In the visual editor for marks, when adding a new attribute, such as NAME, to the mark by typing with the keyboard, it will now try to match the added attribute to the known existing attributes, rather than suggesting a custom attribute to be added.

Symbols in drawings: Earlier, it was not possible to insert a symbol from a file whose name contained special characters. This issue has now been fixed.

Printing to PDF: Earlier, due to Windows 11 24H2 update, the JPG images were shown incorrectly when printed to PDF. This issue has now been fixed.

Drawing property pane: The drawing property pane now handles more reliably situations where an image path has been set to be relative to the model folder.

Fabrication drawings: In the Creation review dialog, if the Associated sub-assemblies visibility option is enabled, cast units within assemblies are now listed alongside sub-assemblies.

Tekla Model Sharing: When you read in, Tekla Structures updates custom components which are outdated compared to their definitions. There may be incorrectly defined custom components which result in their instances being always updated, leading to unexpected change notifications. This has now been prevented, and the components which have incorrect definitions are not updated.

Rebar shape manager: An issue was fixed where Tekla Structures stopped working if invalid operators were entered into a formula in Rebar shape manager (for example, if two arithmetic operators were entered immediately after each other, L1*+L2). An error message now appears in the formula field (for example, "Invalid Addition operator").

Previously, it was possible to mistakenly select two objects by using the Enter key to modify one object and then quickly selecting another. This has now been fixed.

Now the parallel snap keeps the same reference line as long as the cursor follows the extension of the line. Previously, the reference line was lost when the cursor crossed other lines while following the reference line.

Previously, when a secondary part was removed from an assembly where the assembly main part was set by a user, adding the removed part back to the assembly set this part as the assembly main part. This has now been fixed.

Previously, modifying a part using the contextual toolbar did not succeed in some cases because of the part profile. This has now been fixed.

Now the contextual toolbar locates bitmaps from all paths defined in the DAK_BITMAP folders.

Custom inquiry: Previously, formulas with integer properties did not work in custom inquiries. This issue has now been fixed.

Previously, when you used Color by analysis utility check or Color by attribute for several object groups with the same attribute in the Object Representation dialog, and you clicked Save, Load, or Save as, the color changed to a number. This has now been fixed.

In Tekla Structures 2024 SP4, you could not immediately release a subscription that was reserved for offline use if you went back online after being offline for more than 1 hour. It was only possible to release the subscription after a few minutes. This issue has now been fixed.

IFC4 export: The export type Precast view (IFC4) is now available in the CARBON, DIAMOND, and GRAPHITE configurations. Earlier, this export type was not available in the DIAMOND configuration.

Offline mode error: The offline mode window kept popping up while working online and, in most cases, clicking Try reconnecting now did not work. This issue has now been fixed.

Previously, Tekla Structures stopped working when a property file was loaded from offline OneDrive. This has now been fixed.

Design group numbering no longer fails during the step of reading parts from the model.

The stability of the Compare commands has been improved in situations where part solids could not be created.

Previously, an internal error in the Support tool sometimes prevented support cases from being created. The tool showed the following error message: "Error: Support case creation failed"

This issue has now been fixed. You do not need to install the Tekla Structures service pack to get this fix.

Export to Tekla PowerFab: The model weight is now exported with the bill of materials.
