Upload content to Tekla Warehouse
You can upload content created in Tekla Structures to Tekla Warehouse collections, or share applications using Tekla Warehouse.
Before you upload content to Tekla Warehouse, create at least one collection. See Create a collection in Tekla Warehouse.
If you add content to a private collection, ensure that the private collection is shared with the intended users. See Share content privately in Tekla Warehouse.
Upload content from a Tekla Structures model
You can upload content, such as custom components, profiles, shapes, material grades, bolt assemblies, and reinforcements, from a Tekla Structures model.
To upload content from a Tekla Structures model, the Tekla Warehouse Service must be running on your computer.
The content is now available for Tekla Warehouse users to download.
If uploading content from a Tekla Structures model does not work as expected, try the troubleshooting steps described in About the Tekla Warehouse Service plugin.
Add files manually to a Tekla Warehouse collection
You can add files manually to share items such as model object property files, model templates, drawing layouts, drawing templates, cloning templates, and report templates.
Before you add a model template or cloning template to a Tekla Warehouse collection, compress the model template or cloning template folder into a .zip file.
For more information about the types of files that you can upload to Tekla Warehouse, see Files and file types for Tekla Warehouse content.
The content is now available for Tekla Warehouse users to download.
Upload applications to Tekla Warehouse
Applications are software that use Tekla Open API to interact with Tekla Structures, such as data integration links to design solutions.
For more information about developing applications for Tekla Structures, see:
The application is now available for Tekla Warehouse users to download.
Add a 3D product catalog in a Tekla Warehouse collection
3D model products are objects that have fixed geometry, such as embeds, formwork, or accessories. You must create the 3D objects using 3D modeling software before creating a 3D product catalog in Tekla Warehouse.
Tekla Structures shape files cannot be used in 3D product catalogs because the shapes are already converted into Tekla Structures objects.
The 3D product catalog is now available for Tekla Warehouse users to download.
When the upload is finished, verify that the 3D model products work as intended in Tekla Structures.
After inserting a 3D product catalog from Tekla Warehouse into a Tekla Structures model, the 3D model products of the catalog appear in the Applications & components catalog or in the Shape catalog in Tekla Structures.
Share files using a partner download link
A partner download link lets you share files from your company's website in Tekla Warehouse without uploading the files to Tekla Warehouse. You can share any type of individual files or send Tekla Warehouse users to your company's download website, where they can select the files to download.
Because the download happens on your company's website, your company can collect personal data about users according to your company's privacy policy and any data privacy legislation that is applicable in the region where the website is hosted.
If you add a partner download link to an existing content item, Tekla Warehouse users are no longer able to see any versions that you previously added to the content item. Tekla Warehouse administrators and users who have editing rights can still see all versions of the content item. We recommend that you make all versions of the file available on your company's website if you plan to use a partner download link.
You cannot delete partner download links after they have been created or published. You can change the URLs of partner download links if needed.
The partner download link is now available for Tekla Warehouse users.
