Tekla Structures - adding parallel and staggered timber holes

[@dn1zzle659]

Good morning Chris, I just wanted to thank you for this video. It has taken me a very very long time trying to find an easy way to add wood nailer holes to beams, and this is it. I am having one problem though for whatever reason. Once I delete the individual bolts and make them staggered and save, reapplying the connection deletes some of the bolts that I want to keep. It's strange and might be a bug. I am using Tekla version 19.1 SR7. Either way, even if I save the connection prior to deleting each bolt to make them staggered, it saves a TON of time on my end. If there was any way for me to buy you a beer, I would.

Searching KZbin to try to find a better method for flange and web holes for nailers and blocking... This 2nd method is exactly what I have been doing and it works well, but it's soooooo slow compared to using the Reducing Studs component for threaded studs. That is basically automatic and totally customizable. I wish they had a component for placing holes with the same wizard as the Reducing Studs component.
