User-defined attributes in numbering
You can set in the objects.inp file whether a user-defined attribute affects numbering or not. Tekla Structures treats parts and reinforcing bars as different, and therefore numbers them differently, if the values of the user-defined attribute differ.
Only user-defined attributes of parts and reinforcement can affect numbering. User-defined attributes of other objects, such as phases, projects and drawings do not affect numbering.
If you want Tekla Structures to consider a user-defined attribute when numbering, set the special_flag
option of the attribute to yes
in the Part attributes
section of objects.inp. For reinforcement, you need to set special_flag
to yes
also in the Reinforcing bar attributes
section. Tekla Structures assigns different numbers to parts or reinforcement that are otherwise identical but have different values for this user-defined attribute.
If you want Tekla Structures to ignore a user-defined attribute when numbering, set the special_flag
option to no
in objects.inp.
