STAGGERED FERRULES PLACEMENT ON PRECAST PANEL

The design drawings for one of our Precast Project we were working on suggests ferrules must be placed staggered as noted below. The Problem: However, these casting components, such as ferrules cannot be placed on both sides of a precast panel with a thickness of less than 250mm. This mainly causes ferrules to clash along…

Handling Complex Geometry – Ribbon
Recently, we were awarded a project to detail a curved section on the bridge for a reputed organization in Australia. The geometry involved presented some unique challenges.

From the elevation, the structure followed a non-linear zig-zag curvature, creating a dynamic and aesthetically driven form.

ByCoordinateSystems (i.e. the Tekla API method)? AlignCoordinateSystem (the AutoCAD .net API method)? What are they? What do they mean?
What problem does it solve? I have some treasure, buried somewhere. I know how to get there from my town. This is great from my current location. But how will you get there from YOUR location? Without changing the location of the treasure, I can tell you how to get there, from your location by…

How to programmatically filter model objects, in a Tekla model, by Part Position? (Tekla API)
Suppose you have a Tekla model and you want to programmatically filter for parts with a revision mark of abc/1. How would you do that? When I originally tried the code, I had a single Binary Filter expression for just the part Position Number. I made a fatal mistake – I had assumed that Tekla…

How to Debug a Tekla Plugin Without Restarting Visual Studio (Tekla Open API Tutorial)
To my surprise, debugging is not a trivial exercise. Please watch the video to guide you on where to click etc. Source code – github repository of the tekla beam plugin. You need to follow the instructions listed here: https://developer.tekla.com/tekla-structures/documentation/debug-plugin-without-restarting-tekla-structures with the following notes and amendments: Add “set XS_PLUGIN_DEVELOPER_MODE=true” to the teklastructures.ini file and open…

Batch Edit a Part in Tekla Structures
TeklaStructures has a batch editing utility for Assemblies.
However, if we have to batch edit parts there is nothing.
Expert Steel Detailers demand Utilities
Our detailers have demanded that we develop a utility to do batch editing of parts.
