We hope you enjoy it as much as we’ve had the joy in creating it. Here it is below.
We’ve got some of the best Tekla technicians in our house, and given we’ve been so busy it’s been very hard to get a moment to educate the general public on Tekla.
This blog series attempts to remedy that: we start from the very beginning and will post all manner of educational information to allow for a pure beginner to eventually master Tekla.
And best of all: the information is free!
I hope you gain something out of it. And let us know if you want to know anything in particular.

Open a Tekla model
To open a tekla structure model multiple options are available as:
1. File> Open
2. Keyboard user input Ctrl+O. (Default tekla command)
3.Using the open icon shown as a folder image
Either of the methods can be used to open a tekla structure model , but before moving to the open dialogue display the existing model has to be “save’ or ‘don’t save’ dialogue will be displayed to confirm the existing model actions (Since only one model can be worked on in tekla). Once the selection is made we can move to the open model dialogue to proceed to the next model.
From the View properties, select “Loose parts” from the drop down. Loose parts will be shown in red.
Default colors for model view dimension check is not very good.
You can set the model view dimension in advanced options
Please go to advanced options->Model View -> XS_VIEW_DIMENSION_LINE_COLOR. Set value to 1.1.1.1.1.1
also value of
XS_VIEW_DIMENSION_TEXT_COLOR to 1.1.1.1.1.1
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.
