Trimble Tekla Structures 2020 SP7

Trimble introduced the last version of Tekla software for advanced Building Information Modeling (BIM) - Tekla Structures 2020 SP7. In addition to fixes, this update delivers useful improvements: changes in sharing pour units, better coverage for texts in PDF reference models, new control for forcing IFC object category in IFC2x3 export, updated material appearances in Trimble Connect Visualizer, and improvements in concrete components.

Tekla Structures is advanced structural BIM software for creating, combining, managing and sharing multi-material 3D models packed with constructible data. From conceptual planning to fabrication, construction and maintenance, to design, detailing and information management, Tekla models contain all the structural data needed to build and maintain any type of structure.

Tekla Structures 2020 delivers enhancements, improvements and new features that enable efficient workflows for better productivity, increased mobility and collaboration across project teams, including easier modeling of complex shapes with geometry improvements. More specifically, Trimble has enhanced the creation of lofted plates and lofted slabs. For example, in addition to using construction lines, arcs, or circles to create the lofted parts that were possible with the previous release, users can now model complex curved shapes by using polycurve construction objects.

In Tekla Structures 2020, the creation of lofted plates and lofted slabs has been enhanced as well. For example, in addition to using construction lines, arcs or circles to create lofted parts, users can now model complex curved shapes by using polycurve construction objects. Lofted plates in single-part drawings can now be unfolded. With that flat plate, the drawing provides the instructions they need to create a complex shape.
