GRASSHOPPER- THE VISUAL PROGRAMMING LINK FOR TEKLA
Ever wondered how to automate the processes in modeling of steel structures, increase efficiency and accuracy. Grasshopper has got all the answers. Grasshopper is a visual programming interface like the Dynamo we saw in the previous blogs. It is built in within the 3D modeling software called Rhino. Tekla has released a link which enables…

ISSUES OF EXPORTING DSTV TO DXF WITH CSK BOLTS IN TEKLA MODEL
Wherever Countersunk bolts are provided in a model, it is advised not to send NC DXF files to the client for the corresponding plate/shaft. This is because the hole dia in the generated NC & DXF file is not the actual bolt dia but it is the dia of the countersunk head. Therefore, the hole…

DYNAMO: MODELING COMPLEX STRUCTURES
When it comes to 3D modeling, there always exists limitations with conventional modeling software while working with complex structures. In business, it is very important that each and every need of the customer must be fulfilled without compromise. With these things in mind we started experimenting various ways to model complex structures. Dynamo came into…

HAVE YOU TRIED IN AUTO CAD #1: CUSTOM TOOL PALETTES
Many of the time we use same commands and a set of procedure to work in drafting which consumes time we get used to it over time. For example: to insert a section tag we always need to use insert command and find the block and specify the scale and insert it eventually we need…

Can you spot the problem – #6
It’s one thing to model something on your computer. It is yet another thing to fabricate what’s drawn in 3d-land. Given the designs that we seen come through, I doubt very much whether the modern day architect has ever stepped foot in a workshop, or has fabricated anything in their lives. Consider the below example…

.dwg based Take off with custom Plug ins
Tek1 has developed .dwg based plugins which talk to Tekla to carry out take-off efficiently Take off is completed in .dwg based Cad systems very similar to modeling in Tekla. For BIM model the model is converted to Tekla Reports can be taken either from .dwg system or Tekla. Right now reports are being taken…
