(c) IFC file.

(d) db1 file

(e) and if applicable, your .dwg line work file.

1. Please use the file here saved here. (click on link)

1. and save it to the appropriate file in your Tekla Program directory. In my computer it is here: C:\Users\All Users\Trimble\Tekla Structures\2023.0\Environments\Australasia\General\common_reports

• I need the total tonnage

We bill on tonnage. When you send your report: please put this in the body of your email. Please also add the same tonnage in your google spreadsheet.

Please make sure that you do not double count “sub-totals” otherwise you will get an incorrect tonnage report. The client will accuse you of being incompetent – even though you may have done a perfect job when detailing. Please be careful.

• I want the files format in .xlsx

Why? Because when the client opens up .xls files they complain about some error. If you are using LibreDocs then please open your .xls file and save as .xlsx:

If you are using Excel, the please open Excel and save the file as .xlsx (with an ‘x’ on the end of it).

• Combine MTO and MC Reports in the same email

If I’m dealing with 10 projects then I have to coordinate 20 different emails. NO. I want them all together.

Separate Areas – Do Separate Reports

• e.g. You may have a main building, and a bike shed near the building – combine them into separate reports, so that fabricators can quote for them separately.

Provide Screenshots

• to make it easy for your clients.
