Tek1 – Tekla Tools

Dimension Bolts

Set up Instructions

Source code (sorry folks it’s a private repository).
Download program here.
Only works for: Tekla version: 19.1i
Run Installer.
SmartScreen may warn you about this program – by pass SmartScreen.

Instructions:

Only dimensions horizontally and vertically. This means if you use some crazy views / angles it won’t work – and it will give the wrong dimensions.
You must select a window from within the view, or else it will crash.

Trouble shooting: it doesn’t work!

Please check that “Toggle crossing selection” is on.
Allow “Select points”.

Memo 14 – Private details (e.g. links) should be in the private section only

Philosophy: make things AS EASY as possible for your clients, do not confuse them.

If someone sends you a link, that you cannot access how would you respond?

The solution? Add private links and other details in “private details” section.

There will be no confusion for the client.

Macquarie link bridge

TEK1 done a detailing work for the link bridge.The complication of this project is site measure. We have to co ordinate with the existing building site measure to finish this work.Most of the structural members are connected to the existing concrete.We have coordinated with site surveyor & got the dimension we want to connect the steel.

TEK1 completed this job without any mess.We have provided a good info to fabricator as well as erector to finish this project smoothly.

This single storey residential house of dwelling area 294m² is built in Seymour, Victoria.

This building is neither entirely load bearing structure nor framed structure. It is a composite structure. The roof purlins & beams are supported by steel columns at some area and by block walls at other area.

The initial design lacked coordination between the structural engineer and the architect. We had raised about 44 RFIs to them. The response delayed the project but the RFIs raised by Tek1 saved a lot of reworks and money at the site.
