More fields in project properties

The following additional project fields have been added to project properties from the IFC4 standard:

• ASSEMBLY = PROJECT.LOCATION
• ASSEMBLY = PROJECT.POSTAL_BOX
• ASSEMBLY = PROJECT.TOWN
• ASSEMBLY = PROJECT.REGION
• ASSEMBLY = PROJECT.POSTAL_CODE
• ASSEMBLY = PROJECT.COUNTRY

You can use these new properties in reports and templates.

New label settings

There are new options in the Display dialog box to extend the functionality of showing part labels for different conditions.

There is a new setting Show for with the following options:

• All : This is the old behavior of part labels. Part labels are shown for all parts in the view.
• Selected : Part labels are only shown for all selected parts.
• Main part for selected : Part labels are only shown if the selected part is the main part of its assembly.
• Main part for all : Part labels are only shown for all visible parts that are the main parts of their assemblies.

For the Selected and Main part for selected options, note that you need to first apply the dialog box changes to the view when the view is selected, and then continue to select objects that you want to investigate.

Load applications and extensions from several folders

To support extensions, you can create .tsep installation packages and deploy them into an environment under %commonEnvFolder%\extensions\applications.

Company-specific applications can be now located in company-specific folders instead of the Tekla Structures installation folder. The new location should be added to XS_APPLICATIONS_PATH.

The new XS_APPLICATIONS_PATH advanced option allows you to add multiple paths. Tekla Structures uses the paths to load system components.

The current configuration in teklastructures.ini is as follows:

set XS_APPLICATIONS=%XS_DIR%\applications\ set XS_APPLICATIONS_PATH=%XS_APPLICATIONS%;%XSDATADIR%environments\common\Extensions\applications\

Load translations for extensions from several folders

Company-specific translations can be now located in company-specific folders instead of the Tekla Structures installation folder. The new location should be added to XS_MESSAGES_PATH.

The new XS_MESSAGES_PATH advanced option allows you to add multiple paths. Tekla Structures uses the paths to load the translation files.

The current configuration in teklastructures.ini is as follows:

set XS_MESSAGES=%XS_DIR%\messages\ set XS_MESSAGES_PATH=%XS_MESSAGES%;%XSDATADIR%environments\common\Extensions\messages\
