Create beams close to each other

When you create beams so that they are located very close to each other, Tekla Structures may consider them as a twin profile. To prevent this from happening, use the user attribute MAX_TWIN_SEARCH_DIST in the profile catalog.

  1. On the File menu, click Catalogs > Profile catalog to open the Modify Profile Catalog dialog box.
  2. Select the desired profile in the profile tree.
  3. Go to the User attributes tab and set the property Twin profile detection distance to a larger value than 0, for example to 0.1.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Create the beams using the profile.
