Base point improvements

To save time and minimize potential errors for those who are collaborating using a civil coordinate system for project coordination, new base point controls are now introduced. Now you can use the same base point settings in several models and lock base points to avoid unwanted changes. In addition, you can no longer save a base point without giving it a name.

Save and load base point settings

Now you can save and load base point settings. This way you can use the same base point settings in several models. To do this, save your settings in the Base point dialog box by giving the settings a new name and clicking the Save button, and copy the settings file <settings name>.basePoint.json from the \attributes folder under the current model folder to the \attributes folder under the model where you wish to use the same base point settings.

The settings also work with project and firm folders: Copy the base point settings file to the \attributes folder under the firm and project folders.

This improvement was already introduced in Tekla Structures 2022 SP4.

Lock base points

You can now lock the base point to avoid unwanted changes by others working in the same model. To do this, click the Lock/Unlock button next to the base point name. The button changes to . To unlock the base point, click the button again.

Base point name required

You can no longer save a new base point in the Base point dialog box without giving it a name. This way the base point information is more clear for all users. Previously, there could be multiple base points without a name in the model, which caused confusion.
