  • Lock X, Y, Z co ordinates.

    Do not put a custom short cut of x, y and z keys.

    Default behaviour of x, y and z keys in Tekla is to lock X Y and Z co ordinates.

    Try this keys.

    Once the default keys are set to override, then undoing that is not easily possible.

  • New requirements for Stairs as per AS 1657-2013

     2013 Australian Standards have changed for AS1657-2013

    Here are some of the changes most pertinent to the work we do:

    No Overlap required.

    There is no overlap required. A gap of 30 mm between treads from the trailing edge of a tread to the nosing point of the next tread is allowed.

    Changed Calculations:

    Also the calculations on whether stair complies have changed.

    1. Stair width shall not be less than 600 wide.
    2. Clear space between handrails should not be less than 550.

    See below for further details:

    Uniform Dimensions

    Section 7.2.3.2: All Risers and goings in the same flight of stairs shall be of uniform dimensions within a tolerance of 5 mm. The previous version of AS1657 was not explicit about this. I wonder how many inspectors were rejecting stairs or, giving the client a hard time because of some insignificant variation.
