Tekla Structures configurations

Depending on your Tekla Structures subscription, you have access to the Tekla Structures Carbon, Tekla Structures Graphite, or Tekla Structures Diamond configuration.

Note: Only legacy configurations are supported if you use legacy on-premises licenses.

You can view the subscription details, including renewal information, in the Tekla Online Admin Tool.

Each subscription progressively enables more product features.

Tekla Structures Diamond is for detailing and production information.
Tekla Structures Graphite is for modeling and design documentation.
Tekla Structures Carbon is for viewing and collaboration.

This documentation covers the content of the Tekla Structures Diamond configuration, so you might not have access to all the described features. If your subscription includes several different configurations, you can select between them when you start Tekla Structures.
