Administrator's release notes: Property pane updates

You can define your own property pane values (for example, UDAs) in PropertyTemplates.xml, which can be in the \<user>\AppData, environment, company, or project folder.

The new Tekla Structures version can have new object types or properties. They are not visible if you have your own PropertyTemplates.xml in use. You need to update your own PropertyTemplates.xml files manually.

There are typically three different cases:

  • New object types

    These come automatically to your property pane from the Default setting. It is good to check these but no action is needed if you do not have your own UDAs for this object type.

  • Changed object types or properties

    This may require deleting and adding new properties or groups.

  • Removed properties

    These do not cause any functional problems but it is good to delete non-existing properties or empty groups from the settings files.

Add these new properties to your property pane configuration

  • Bolt: Add Plain hole type and Hole depth to the Holes group.

  • Rebar set: Add Follow edges to the Attributes group.

  • Rebar set secondary guideline: Add a new group translation:albl_General.

  • Rebar set secondary guideline: Add Follow edges under the General group.

  • Rebar end detail modifier: Add Follow edges to the General group.

  • Rebar property modifier: Add Follow edges to the General group.

  • Rebar splitter: Add Follow edges to the General group.

  • Rebar property modifier: Add a new group translation:albl_Minimum_lengths_to_create under the Advanced group.

  • Rebar property modifier: Add Minimum bar length under the group Minimum lengths to be created.

  • Rebar property modifier: Add Minimum straight start/end leg length under the group Minimum lengths to be created.

  • Rebar set: Add a new group translation:albl_Minimum_lengths_to_create under the Advanced group.

  • Rebar set: Add Minimum bar length under the group Minimum lengths to be created.

  • Rebar set: Add Minimum straight start/end leg length under the group Minimum lengths to be created.
