Administrator's release notes: Model templates in version update

  1. Open Tekla Structures 2018.
  2. Create a new model using an existing model template.
  3. Give the model the same name as in the previous Tekla Structures version.

  4. Open a 3D view.
  5. Diagnose and repair the model.

  6. Create a project thumbnail, or add a custom image named thumbnail.png in the model folder.

    The preferred size of the image is 120 x 74 pixels.

  7. Save the model.

    If you do not do this, a message may appear warning about the model being created with a previous version.

  8. Save the model as a model template.

  9. Include the needed catalog files and subfolders from the model folder, and click OK.

  10. Remove manually all *.db files (environment database, options databases) from the model folder.

    The *.bak , *.log and xs_user files are automatically removed from the model folder.

    The .idrm files ( db.idrm and xslib.idrm ) should be kept as they are part of the model.

    The model template is saved in a location pointed by XS_MODEL_TEMPLATE_DIRECTORY.

    You now have a sample image for your model template. The Applications & components catalog is now also in order and easy to use.
