When modelling big projects. Do not waste time in modelling all the entities provided in the sample drawing this could waste lot of man hours. Draw only the members that are attached or could affect the steel members.
By following this we could save lot of man hours and also maintain the accuracy with faster submission of projects.

The standard truck dimension for transporting steel members in Australia is 12m x 2m x 2m. Any member greater in length has to be informed in prior to avoid extra charges that occur in transportation.
Sometimes when we encounter a member more than 12m long we can mark-up and inform the Project manager regarding this see below snip as an example.

We have also a used a custom profile in this model based on client requirements which deviates from the standard profile. See below the snip of the profile used.

Richmond Cinemas is one of the simple structure detailed by Tek1.
Tekla could deliver you the design with highest accuracy possible. Any error due to fabrication or in members effected by external factors like weather etc. could be resolved by giving a tolerance to the structural members. This could also save the Erector during erection, saving a lot of time and money resolving this issue. Too much tolerance on members like plate could also have adverse effect.
