Tekla Structures allows you to customize project-specific settings, such as unit systems (metric or imperial), coordinate systems, drawing and report settings, reinforcement settings, fabrication and erection preferences, and more. You can access and modify these settings through the Project Properties dialog.
Creating project templates can save time and ensure consistency when starting new projects. You can set up a project with specific preferences, predefined views, custom layouts, drawing styles, object properties, and model settings. Save this configuration as a template and use it as a starting point for future projects.
Customize drawing templates to establish consistent styles and layouts for different types of drawings, such as general arrangement drawings, fabrication drawings, assembly drawings, and part drawings. Define the title blocks, drawing views, annotation settings, and drawing settings that match your project requirements.
Tekla Structures allows you to create custom components specific to your project. You can define custom profiles, connections, parametric components, and assemblies that are frequently used in your project. These components can be saved and reused, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in modeling and detailing.
Customize the report templates to generate project-specific reports. You can modify the report content, layout, sorting, grouping, and formatting to match your project needs. This customization enables you to create tailored reports for material takeoff, fabrication data, CNC data, and other project-related information.
Customize drawing and detailing styles to achieve consistency in graphical representation and annotation. You can define line types, line weights, fonts, dimension styles, and symbols to match your project’s visual requirements.
Customize toolbars, ribbon menus, and keyboard shortcuts to streamline your modeling and detailing workflow. Adjust the interface layout and access frequently used commands easily, improving productivity.
