Benefits of using 3D models are obvious but why are so many people still using paper or 2D drawings?
A tight project timeline proves the value of BIM as Clark Pacific implements an innovative prefabricated construction technique.
1:21Increase your productivity by automatically detailing the insulation of your walls using actual insulation panel sizes that will be used in manufacturing.
1:48Generate cutting patterns for reinforcing bars to reduce waste during cutting. Calculate optimal amounts and lengths of stock-length reinforcing bars.
2:27Now you can export IFC for production while also embedding cut and bend (BVBS) fabrication data to provide the level of detail needed for rebar cut and bend information.
1:37New Way of Modeling Concrete Stairs in Tekla Structures 2021
New easy to use extension for modeling concrete stairs includes all common shapes including straight stair, L and U shaped stairs, and spiral form.
1:51The new Crane Tool extension offers new functionalities that help you save costs, make fewer errors and improve safety during the erection.
4:38Save time and reduce repetitive rework with the new Batch editing functionality in Tekla Structures 2021. Great for project changes that come late in the design.
0:49When you are moving or copying objects in Tekla Structures 2021, they are visible so you can get a better idea of their destination.
1:43Visualize your structural design exactly how it is to be designed with the materials and lighting to give the visual the most impact. You can now render your custom textures and user defined colors.
0:52Access related fabrication drawings quicker than ever from the contextual toolbar. When selecting model objects you can now see a list of related drawings and open them directly from the model.
3:47New early stage extensions for Tekla Structures 2021 and Trimble Connect: Once you have created a drawing, you can publish drawing annotations into Trimble Connect.
1:19If your next project requires you to split existing plates or slabs, you can utilize the new renewed slab and plate splitter in Tekla Structures 2021.
3:09Trimble Connect overlay models now offer full historical and visual identification of changes even from the very first upload, so you now have the ability to see a list and view of changes.
One of the hottest trends in the building industry right now is modular or pre-panelized construction. Let’s see how modular construction is changing cityscapes the world over.
How a combination of off-site construction and remote collaboration software tools could be the key to supporting and enabling this new, safer way of working.
“Building information models are created in the beginning of the process, at the budget preparation phase, to present the project to the customer. This model is used throughout the project lifecycle."
Yunwoo PCE was keen to adopt BIM to overcome the issues of existing 2D CAD design methods. They chose Tekla Structures to speed up workflow, reduce errors and achieve smoother collaboration.
11:45Precast Concrete Lifting Inserts *COG Tool*
In this video, we discuss how to utilize the Lifting Inserts custom component. This tool is designed to help aid the modeler in placing lifters about the center of gravity for all of their standard p
