(more…)This is a Video of Bunnings Warehouse Bunnings Warehouse was a design and build project for us. We have been given original structural drawings to make it suitable for manufacture overseas in China. These instructions along with very short delivery times added significant challenges in shop drawings. One of the requirements by the clients was…




There is a maximum length for threaded rods we can procure.
Very often the bracing lengths are more than these lengths.
For D24 rod this is 9m max and for D20 rod this is 9.4m max. This means we will need to add breaks and turnbuckles to the oversized lengths.
You have to look up the Turn buckle lengths from manufacturers catalogues.
Here are some suppliers

This post and tutorial shows you how to set up your Tekla Dependencies (i.e. DLLs) on an Tekla Open API project:
Source code:
Directly Embedded code:
Model model = new Model();
if (model.GetConnectionStatus())
{
Beam beam = new Beam();
beam.StartPoint = new Point(0, 0, 0);
beam.EndPoint = new Point(1000, 0, 0);
beam.Profile.ProfileString = "UB150*14"; // make sure this is available in your environment.
beam.Finish = "PAINT";
beam.Insert();
model.CommitChanges();
}

Split Large complitcated assemblies into sub assemblies.
Preferably do that in the modeling stage. But if you have already modelled and do not want to change, split groups of parts into virtual sub assemblies for detailing purposes.
Detail the the sub assemblies. That will reduce clutter in the main view of the drawng.
Parts are cut to single part drawings, palletted and given to the boiler maker with Assembly drawing. Part drawings will be missing.
But the boiler maker will need know some dimension in the parts to assemble the weldment correctly.
Hence you may have to produce single part drawings within the assembly drawing.
This will reduce clutter and make life easy for you as well as for the boiler maker. Make sure necessary single part drawings are added in the assy drg
In a cluttered drawing, main views will have many parts shown which basically makes those views very difficult to use.
You add detail views and hide parts for clarity.
Short Cuts
You must have Show / Hide parts in drawing short cuts. Else you will spend a lot of time showing and hiding with right click

This is going to be a concise, high value and pithy course on the Tekla Open API.
You may find other courses out there that boast about: 50+ hours. That might work well for them and their students, but almost everything you need to know can be boiled down to a few simple concepts. Especially helpful if you are an engineer and wanting to automate a few simple tasks. For more specialised requirements that involves making API calls, or developing web apps, you want to a workflow that is engineered by a professional – whether by Tek1 or other parties.
The following documents the course.
