We want that Tekla Structures users can produce their own applications when they feel they want something more than what is already available. With Tekla Open API (Application Programming Interface), these applications can integrate and communicate within the Tekla modeling environment. Additionally the Tekla Open API, known also as the .NET API, provides an interface for third party applications to interact with model and drawing objects in Tekla Structures.
