DDBIM | Tekla Structures Tricks and Plugins

I am Dawid, an independent programmer who creates macros for Tekla Structures. I was a steel detailer, and I have experience with Tekla Structures models and drawings.

My macros can help you with industrial steel structures. I sell them in subscription, which you can purchase on this website.

The subscription price depends on the number of computers and selected programs.

Tutorial

To insert the component, click the icon and select two points in the model

Remember to have "component" and "direct modification" options turned on

Turn on the contextual toolbar (Ctrl + K) and use the buttons on this toolbar

Add or remove rectangular cuts

Add or remove circular cuts

You can hide and show cut dimensions

Move circular cut using blue lines

Modify cut points - add, move, delete

To add side plates, please hold the Ctrl key and click on the white ball handle (+)

Drag the blue lines above the plate to change its length or width

Tekla Structures reverses the plate after copy-mirror. You can now repair grating with a single click. Use button "reverse"

You can easily create rounded platform
