TSAC-4346	Concrete components	Reinforcement mesh array (91): Mesh creation did not work on slabs that contained a great number of notches. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-3385, TSAC-4340, TSAC-4341	Concrete components	Concrete foundation (1030) has been improved as follows: On the Picture tab, you can now define an offset for the injection tube from the bottom of the column. Also, the sloping injection hose is now properly fitted to the column edge. Image On the Parts tab, there is a new option, Poly-profile (as sub-assembly), for Type of reinforcing bars. This new option creates a poly-profile as a sub-assembly to the foundation part.
TSAC-4405	Concrete components	Hollowcore reinforcement strands (60) now reads more values of the defined grid from external files. This allows you to add a bigger grid for the strands. This has been improved on the external files side only, and not in the dialog box, because of length limitations.
TSAC-4435	Concrete components	Concrete console (110) and Concrete beam-beam (112): Previously, when modifying the components with changes that did not affect numbering, the numbering was changed to not up to date. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4531	Concrete components	Corbel reinforcement (81): The component is now created properly in situations where the corbel is smaller than the column.
TSAC-4583	Concrete components	Seating with dowel to flange (77), Two sided seating with dowel to flange (78): The bearing pad no longer collides with the column.
TSAC-3036	Steel components	Stiffeners (1034): Previously, the gap between the stiffener and the main part web was incorrectly applied. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-3977	Steel components	Cage ladder (S60): You can now define the rotation of the rail bars on the Parameters tab. You can also define the vertical and horizontal offset of bottom supports on the Supports tab.
TSAC-4179	Steel components	Two sided end plate (142) & End plate (144): Previously, the horizontal offset of bolts also affected the position of galvanizing holes. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4307	Steel components	Two sided end plate (142): Previously, the welds between the haunch plates and end plates were missing when a secondary part was skewed. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4308	Steel components	Two sided end plate (142): Previously, welds number 1 and 5 were also used to weld haunch plates to the secondary parts. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4324	Steel components	Welded column with stiffeners (128): Previously, the gaps between the stiffeners and main part flanges were not applied correctly. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4375	Steel components	Extend full depth tab (82): Previously, bolts were created incorrectly in some situations. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4376	Steel components	Column with stiffeners W (182): Previously, the weld properties in the component did not match the values set in the dialog box. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4398	Steel components	Shear plate (103): Previously, bolt edge distances were not correct. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4399	Steel components	Joist to column, type 1 (161): Previously, defining the cut back distance of the bottom chord caused the component to crash. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4453	Steel components	Base plate (1004), Web stiffened base plate (1016): Previously, the leveling plate did not follow the position of the additional beam. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4491	Steel components	Seat type 9 (73): Previously, setting the number of bolts to 0 for the vertical or horizontal direction caused Tekla Structures to crash. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4501	Steel components	Haunch (40): Previously, when two-sided haunches were created, some welds were missing for the second haunch. This has now been fixed, and all welds are created correctly.
TSAC-4572	Steel components	Gusseted cross (62): Previously, slotted holes for clip angles for the second brace were applied incorrectly in the component. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-970	Steel components	Railings (S77): The start and end closures are now fitted to the first and last stanchion.
TSAC-4380	Import, export, interoperability	Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, the Tekla Structures version option for the File creator (UT 6.0) setting was not working correctly. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-34846	Import, export, interoperability	Sometimes inserting a reference model failed because of special characters. Now all characters below 256 are allowed in a reference model file name: both ASCII (0-127) and extended ASCII (128-255).
TTSD-36914	Import, export, interoperability	IFC2x3 export: The Tapered curved rebar groups are no longer exported so that the self-intersecting bars are clashing (2D).
TTSD-37037	Import, export, interoperability	Trimble Connector no longer consumes a Trimble Connect Business Premium license. Previously, a Trimble Connect Business Premium license was consumed, even though using Trimble Connector does not require this type of a licence. This prevented the use of the same license seat in Trimble Connect, so the user could not access the Trimble Connect features that were available for Business Premium users.
TTSD-37406	Import, export, interoperability	You can now convert IFC objects in ELITECAD models to Tekla Structures native objects.
TTSD-37466	Import, export, interoperability	IFC2x3 export: Welds are now exported with solid colors.
TPLED-165	Templates and reports	Template library now gives more descriptive conversion warning messages that show the component name and template filename.
TPLED-173	Templates and reports	Template Editor: Previously, when the row sort type of a template was set to None, the row order could sometimes change. This has now been fixed.
TPLED-178	Templates and reports	Previously, column headers were not positioned correctly in tables that were filled vertically from top to bottom and aligned to the right. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-37364	Templates and reports	The LOCKED_BY drawing attribute now returns the correct value.
TTSD-20200	Drawings	Previously, when you printed drawings to plot files, when a revision was included in a plot file name that contained a period (for example, a date), the revision text was not inserted in the correct location. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-20331	Drawings	Printing: Previously, the PaperSizesForDrawings.dat file was not always read from the correct folder. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-32458	Drawings	Previously, Tekla Structures could sometimes crash when you moved several drawing views at one go from one drawing to another drawing. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-33468	Drawings	Symbol files in the model were not used in printing if the same symbol file was present elsewhere (defined by DXK_SYMBOLPATH). This has now been fixed.
TTSD-37352	Drawings	Lines that link rebar dimensions are now drawn using drawing coordinates instead of model coordinates. This means that reinforcement marks are placed correctly again.
TTSD-39027	Drawings	Sometimes Tekla Structures froze when you opened a drawing that contained graphical objects (polygons) with hatches. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-39216	Drawings	Creating a polyline or a polygon in drawings no longer causes a Tekla Structures application error.
TTSD-30917	Tekla Model Sharing	If the value of XS_COLLECT_MODEL_HISTORY is FALSE when you start sharing a model, the Start sharing command will change the value to TRUE automatically. However, previously the Sharing history dialog box did not show the sharing history, even though the value had been changed to TRUE. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-37935	Tekla Model Sharing	Previously, start sharing and write out could sometimes fail if the temporary packet creation file was locked by another application, a virus scanner, for example. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-37993	Tekla Model Sharing	Previously, excluding a folder from sharing only worked for folders directly under the model folder, not for sub-folders. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-38820	Tekla Model Sharing	Previously, when inviting users to a shared model in the Start sharing dialog box, the email addresses that had capital letters were temporarily shown as duplicated in the list of users until you reopened the dialog box. There were also issues in receiving email invitations to the model. Now this has been fixed.
TTSD-39160	Tekla Model Sharing	Previously, downloads were occasionally jammed in the Tekla Model Sharing service when reading in or joining a model. This was most likely related to limited internet bandwidth when several packets were read in or when joining a large model. The issue has now been fixed in this service pack. If you are a Tekla Model Sharing on-premises server user, note that this Tekla Structures service pack is not compatible with on-premises server versions older than version 3.13.9. To continue using Tekla Model Sharing, you need to update the Tekla Model Sharing on-premises server to version 3.13.9. Tekla Model Sharing on-premises server version 3.13.9 is downward compatible. All previous Tekla Structures versions in which Tekla Model Sharing is available, starting from Tekla Structures 21.0, work with this server version.
TTSD-33685	Modeling	Previously, in some rare cases, Tekla Structures could crash when you moved a custom component and then modified a property in the custom component dialog box. This happened when a bent plate was used in the custom component that was located far away from the origin. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-35585	Modeling	Sometimes, if pours were enabled in a model (`XS_ENABLE_POUR_MANAGEMENT` was set to `TRUE`), broken solids caused Tekla Structures to crash when opening the model. This has now been fixed so that Tekla Structures does not crash anymore.
TTSD-37392	Modeling	You can now import `.lis` catalog profiles with a numeric `SUB_TYPE` value.
TTSD-37491	Modeling	In the Snapping toolbar, the list for selecting the snap depth (Auto/view plane) now works correctly.
TTSD-38386	Modeling	When merging complex parts by using the Added material > Attach to part command, Tekla Structures sometimes crashed. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-25375	Licensing	Administrators can now set a registry setting so that the license expiry messages will not be seen by users. This can help in situations where overnight processing is run using Tekla Structures - the overnight processing is not impacted when licenses have less than 1 month until the expiry. For detailed information, see How to disable pop-up messages about the license expires.
TTSD-31795	Installation	Previously, `.tsep` system logging sometimes conflicted with virus scanners, which could cause issues in extension or environment installations. The `.tsep` logging has now been changed to make it more robust, and to allow scanning of the log while in use.
TTSD-33042	Installation	Model environment information is now taken from `XS_SYSTEM`. The folder under `\Environments\` is used as the environment name.
TTSD-37957	Installation	When importing `.tsep` files with Tekla Structures extension manager, Tekla Structures shows a message that asks whether you want to delete or keep the original `.tsep` files. This message has now been improved. The Yes and No buttons have been renamed as Delete and Keep to help you in selecting the appropriate action.
TTSD-34876	Tools and components	Symbol Editor: Previously, saving with Save As did not work if the edited symbol file was located in the model folder. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-35938	Tools and components	Previously, you could not open the dialog box of a .NET component published in the Applications & components catalog. This has now been fixed. .NET components now correctly use their attribute file when inserting the components to the model.
TTSD-24536	Numbering	Previously, when numbering the model, clicking Cancel in the numbering report could reset any custom setting in some dialog boxes opened from the ribbon, for example, in dialog boxes under Numbering settings and Drawing properties. This has now been fixed.
TTSD-38656	User interface	The height of the monitor or the number of monitors do not cause issues anymore with the saved Windows registry values for the Width of the snapping toolbar.
TTSD-22567	User interface	In the Applications & components catalog, the search box tooltip text has been improved. The square brackets are now shown correctly as [ ], instead of a rectangle [].
TTSD-27811	User interface	Clicking the Image button in the property pane for corner chamfers in the Japanese environment no longer causes Tekla Structures to crash.
TTSD-37485	User interface	When using DirectX rendering, software rendering is no longer forced in remote desktop connections. You can still use the `XS_USE_SOFTWARE_RENDERING` advanced option, if needed.
TSAC-4316	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	EliPLAN export (68): You can now use user-defined template properties with the Weight calculation option Template.
TSAC-4342, TSAC-4367	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export Unitechnik (79): The following options have been added on the Reinforcement tab: A new Reinforcement export type option called Designated welded bars has been added. This option works in the same way as Fabrication of welded rebars, but you can use it with the Collect based on option to designate the rebars that will form main layers with reinforcement type 1 or 2, while the rebars remain as `RODSTOCK` depending on object type. A new Reinforcement type option called Use 1, 2 and UDA has been added. When you select this option, the lowest rebar layer, including all bars in the same direction, is exported with rebar type 1, and all other layers are exported as type 2.
TSAC-4432	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export Unitechnik (79): You can now specify a manual Unitechnik mesh type using an UDA option for Mesh type on the Unitechnik tab in the reinforcement user-defined attributes dialog box. If you leave the option blank, automatic mesh type is used like before.
TSAC-4489	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, the exposure class for both shells of a double wall was read from the first shell. This has been fixed, and the exposure class is now read from each of the shells.
TSAC-4509	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, for double walls with a shell offset at start end, and 1st shell turning enabled in the Double wall turned setting on the TS configuration tab, the second shell of the double wall had an incorrect X axis offset. This has now been fixed.
TSAC-4526	Import, export, interoperability (concrete)	BVBS Export: On the Data content tab, in the Position source setting, there is a new option Reinforcement template available.
