Rectangular column reinforcement (83): On the Rebar assembly tab, there is now a new setting, Align rebar assembly coordinate system. Select Yes to align the rebar assembly coordinate system with the component coordinate system.

Wall layout: Edge offsets and edge components no longer change position when contour points are added or removed.

Wall layout: Previously, seams and connectors could be missing after a layer was deleted from a wall layout. This issue has now been fixed.

Wall layout: Previously, there was an issue that caused the creation of sandwich wall openings to be restricted to only one opening when Main part layer was not set to Default. The issue has now been fixed.

Sandwich wall window: The issue that caused window details to be created outside the window (in the component origin) has now been fixed.
 

Braced girder (88), (89): On the Picture tab, there is now a new option, Align rebar assembly coordinate system. Select Yes to align the rebar assembly coordinate system with the component coordinate system.
 

Edge and corner reinforcement (62): Stirrups are now created properly in the space smaller than the U bar dimensions between openings. Previously, the stirrups were completely omitted in this situation.

Floor layout: Negative values now work in offsets for automatically cut objects.

Floor layout: When working with diagonal cuts, Floor layout now uses the default offset value at a selected floor boundary when you clear the offset value in the contextual toolbar and click the check mark button.

Sandwich wall window: Previously, the component created parts that had 0 volume. These parts are now removed from the model.

Embedded anchors (8): Previously, lifters in sandwich walls were sometimes placed inside the walls when there were many smaller objects in the assembly. This issue has now been fixed.

Embedded anchors (008): On the Input tab, there is a new Up direction option, Global Z, that places anchors in the global Z axis and also guarantees the global orientation of the result assembly.

Floor layout: On the General tab, there is now a new setting Create half a slab to fill the whole area to define the slab panel distribution. If there is an empty area between the last standard slab and the edge of the slab area, you can use this setting to create a slab that fills this empty area. To do this, select the value Yes. This setting overrides the minimum slab width setting on the Advanced tab.

Concrete console (110): Previously, the column cut offset was not correct when the beams were inclined. This issue has now been fixed.

Wall layout: Previously, when wall layout layers were edited and a new wall layout created, another wall was also created. This issue has now been fixed.

Rail connection (70): Previously, notches on secondary parts were created incorrectly. This issue has now been fixed.

Previously, when the End plate (29), Seating (39), or Joining plates (14) component was placed on sloped parts, some welds were incorrectly moved from the flange to the web. This issue has now been fixed.

Bolted gusset (11): Previously, when the gusset plate ran through the main part, the cut was created with an incorrect shape in some cases. This issue has now been fixed.

Stub connection (119): Previously, the top and bottom plate chamfer dimensions were incorrectly applied in the component. This issue has now been fixed.

Railings (S77): Previously, the number of stanchions affected the calculation of railing height. This issue has now been fixed.

Base plate (1004): Previously, the leveling plate was created in an incorrect position in some cases. This issue has now been fixed.

Simple base plate (55): Previously, stiffener chamfer dimensions were incorrectly applied in the component. This issue has now been fixed.

Kingspan File transfer updates

• File transfer has been updated, increasing the maximum ID mark length from 6 to 10 characters.
• There are changes in how Tekla Structures handles exploded items (struts and wires). Exploded items are now checked against the data prior to exploding. If the data has not changed, the items will be exported to the File transfer.
• New rafter stay profiles have been added for 14 mm holes on both ends. The profiles can be detailed and exported using standard Kingspan connections.
• In addition, general improvements and enhancements have been made to Kingspan connections. 

IFC2x3 export: Previously, when the IFC entity of a column part was set to IfcMechanicalFastener, the column part was still exported as IfcColumn in the IFC2x3 export. This issue has now been fixed.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: Previously, when importing a Tekla Structural Designer model with US Imperial unit settings into Tekla Structures, the dimensions in the Model Comparison Tool appeared in metric units. This issue has now been fixed.

IFC4 export: The compatibility of IFC4 export with IFC2x3 export has been improved for building hierarchy templates.

IFC2x3 export: Exporting the rebar attribute NominalDiameter is now using nominal diameter from environment instead of actual diameter.

Import from Tekla Structural Designer: Previously, in some cases, imported wall panels did not split correctly into separate objects. This issue has now been fixed.

DSTV/NC: Earlier, when exporting a plate with countersunk bolts being on the back plane and using XS_DSTV_WRITE_BEHIND_FACE_FOR_PLATE=TRUE, the AK block corresponding to the back plane was created incorrectly. This issue has now been fixed.

Template Editor: Using the fvf function in reports and drawing templates, a file that worked with spaces in names in Tekla Structures 2022 no longer worked in the latest Tekla Structures versions. This issue has now been fixed.

Template Editor: Sometimes the value field length was calculated incorrectly indicating that the length would go outside the component boundaries. This issue has now been fixed.

Previously, in reports, the length and weight of circular spiral reinforcing bars were correct on REBAR rows but not on SINGLE_REBAR rows. This issue has now been fixed.

Rebar group marking: Arrow symbols are now created respecting the dimension line direction. Earlier, the symbols were static and did not follow the dimension line direction.

Previously, the view label editor in the property pane did not display the same view label as the one in the drawing. Now, when modifying view properties, the view label editor automatically corrects any properties that have not been correctly defined due to inconsistencies in the environment property files.

Pour solid edge chamfers in drawings: Previously, the visibility of the pour solid edge chamfers in the drawing depended on which one you opened first, the model view or the drawing. Now, if there are edge chamfers in the pour objects, the solid geometry always uses the edge chamfered solid in the drawings. 

This improvement also fixes a performance issue in pour drawings introduced in an earlier service pack.

The property pane visual editor now allows for multi-item drag and drop. When dragging items from different rows, the editor automatically organizes them into a single row, maintaining a clear order from top to bottom and left to right.

Previously, in GA drawings, the reference object list in the view properties sometimes showed objects from previous models if you had opened many models during the same Tekla Structures session. This issue has now been fixed.

Previously, in specific cases when a drawing was missing the relation to its main part in the model, and you had a complex value for the advanced option XS_SINGLE_PART_DRAWING_VIEW_TITLE, a Tekla Structures application error could occur. This issue has now been fixed.

Earlier, after deleting a merged weld mark, it was not possible to recreate single weld marks for the same parts. This issue has now been fixed.

DWG/DXF files: The All files option is now available in the DWG/DXF drawing property pane in the file browser when you are adding a link to a DWG/DXF file in a drawing.

Some rare application errors in solid operations have been fixed. One known situation was an application error when resizing the drawing view boundary.

Filtering: When the Select from model or Multi-select from model option is used with the Template category and with property definitions for MATERIAL, such as MATERIAL.STRENGTH_CLASS, the values are now shown also for pour objects and pour units.

Previously, workplane related template attributes were not working in model view filters and selection filters. This has now been fixed.

Batch editor now handles components, such as Double wall details, better than previously.

Custom components: The Object Properties dialog now opens centered on Custom component dialog editor. Previously, the Object Properties dialog opened on the main display, regardless of the Custom component dialog editor location.

Custom Component Dialog Editor: The Object Properties dialog now displays Multiple objects for Object style when multiple objects are selected. Previously, Object style displayed nothing for multiple object selections.

DSTV to DXF converter: You can now change the order of the text options in the created DXF file by dragging the rows using the new icon on a Text option row:

DSTV/NC export: Previously, when you exported polybeams with bolts and included pop-marks, the KA block was created incorrectly. This issue has now been fixed.

DSTV/NC: Earlier, when you exported a plate with weld preparation and all countersunks only on the back plane of the plate, weld preparations were exported incorrectly causing an incorrect AK block in the NC file. This issue has now been fixed.

Export EliPLAN file (68): A new option, Template, has been added for the Position number type setting on the Data settings tab. Now you can enter the template attribute for any property you want to be returned for the position code.

Export Unitechnik (79): On the SLABDATE block data specification tab, you can now specify the type of the Slab area for the export. The options are Gross area, Net area with cutouts, Net area without cutouts, and Template.

BVBS export: The parameters n (number of spiral turns) and g (length) were swapped in the export file for spiral geometries. This issue has now been fixed.

Export Unitechnik (79): Previously, adding formwork to the edge of a double wall could lead to incorrect geometry. This issue has now been fixed.
