User Defined Attributes - Modeling Techniques Using Tekla Structures

[@prabhaayan1651]

Nice video to Learn UDA's and Templates, Enjoyed it 👍

[@victorstrembitskiy7171]

I really find your videos fantastic, the way you explain it is very easy to comprehend, thanks a lot, I learn it with my pleasure 👍

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Happy to hear that! Thank you!

[@pawelmikurda3080]

Another great video Wilson - keep it that way!

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Thanks! I try to do my best!

[@rckygrhm1]

Great Video, I find UDA's a bit of a grey area, and I am trying to use them more; so I'm glad to see this video. Thanks.

[@CSWilsonDraws]

I used to think that too. It wasn't until recently that I started using UDAs more frequently. I glad I was able to shed some light on the subject. Thanks for the comment!

I like the videos mate. Got this Tekla 2016 from a mate as decided to leave technology so I have it. Now I am learning this without any text books or any help. So a few tips here been picked up. Cheers

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Awesome! Stick with it! It gets easier. :)

[@7702025062088]

Yeah its only repetition. My struggle now is to modify the title block to put in my "Logo" and details... any ideas or references to your videos?

[@CSWilsonDraws]

When I first started, I used this video to learn about title blocks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIeyeoGElMmtg5o It's old, but the information is good and still relevant.

Very Good CS have a fantastic 2018 I agree with Edy I would like to see a complete Real Model over several videos covering workflow systems (Numbering, Naming, Etc)

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Happy New Year! I agree that this request is interesting, but I'll need to research how to actually pull it off. A video series would definitely be an option. Thanks for the feedback!

[@AsifIqbal-nv4hl]

Thanks for putting this premium quality video. I have used UDA in the same fashion to achieve several results the software does not offer by default. I have a request: could you please make a video on how you managed the main Tekla window and child windows on 4K displays with proper DPI scaling?

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Thanks for the comment! I don't actually have 4K monitors right now, however, I believe this is the year I'll be building a new system to run Tekla Structures. My plan is to also upgrade my displays to 4K as well, so that might lead to some videos.

[@prasanthperumal3713]

nice thing Mr.Wilson,thank u for ur good job. here i could able to learn about some advanced techniques in tekla structures.i would like to learn more about template formula programming. please make it

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Thank you! I'm glad you found this video helpful! My knowledge of template and report programming is limited, but I might try to cover some more topics in future videos.

One more brick for my growing tekla knowledge palace 8)

[@victorstrembitskiy7171]

Hello, is it possible to get user-parameter from inside a component into a template? With other words, I need to show in a specification some values of a custom component. This custom component is a seem-type component that builds up complete truss assembly, this truss assembly must be shown in a trusses specification, and in that specification I need to show some user-defined values that I put via component window.

[@victorstrembitskiy7171]

Can you make a video about how to make a drawing of a banded plate with front/top/side view of bended plate + unfolded flat pattern of this plate on one drawing. Thanks a lot.

[@Raja-Pune]

Good knowledge sharing...

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Thank you!

[@stueydoubleyou]

Hello mr Wilson, i dont have a "notes" tab on my user defined attributes, has this changed or is it because i am not using the US environment? Great videos btw, i have benefitted so much already after just one day.

[@serjcon5545]

Hi Wilson, I appreciate your work. Could you please tell me how can I create a filter for the tables to obtain the following result: if the assembly contains only one part then the result to be style one table and if the assembly contains more than one part the table to be style two. Thank you!

[@victorstrembitskiy7171]

Once I wanted to make some text become visible or not depending on a single- of multi part assembly (a bit like your situation) and was advised to compare assembly weight to main part weight, if it is equal then it means that this is a single part assembly, if not means a multi part assembly, and depending on that to make text creation 1 or 0. Maybe this principle may also help you.

[@carr28usa]

Do you know if there is a way to select specific text in the drawings based on the properties? Suppose I want to select just all my approver notes so i can move them or delete them from the drawings.

[@CSWilsonDraws]

I don't believe that's possible since you can't filter out text on the drawings. Once the text has been place, it becomes a dummy object and the saved-name you used is no longer associated with it.

[@shivanirathore6883]

Hi I am searching solutions for handling preliminary mark. For example:-there are 20 beams having assembly mark of B1 and after 1st IFA submission there are some changes which decreases it's number of quantity so I want to track that changes beam, in which drawing it has been merge or from which drawing it was subtracted.....by prilimebry marks. Can you upload vedio regarding this.

[@ohbother1801]

Great video! I have a question: why do they call it a parkway, but you drive on it... And a driveway, but you park in it?

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Thanks! I have begun research...video to follow.

[@mohamedmounir6944]

hello sir , please i want to know after creating a custom profile as dwg, how can i make it more flexible and dealing with it by choosing different numbers value for width and length for example as in angles ?

[@CSWilsonDraws]

I'm not very versed in using the sketch editor, but here's a link to the TUA article(s) that may help: teklastructures.support.tekla.com/2017i/en/mod_sketching_cross_sections

[@satyarajelangovan2833]

hello wilson, im just learning tekla can u please help me? i dont know how to to solve this numbering error ( numbering not performed for assemblies and precast cast units with conceptual components) *i didnt use standrad sections i use some custom once.

[@ujjwalray2521]

How to show different Part mark and Ship mark? Like your Platform Frame drawings. Here main part showing w100 but Ship mark showing 100A.

[@victorhugocamacho253]

Hello! I want to configurate the assembly name of my drawing. I get avanced option then numeration, and I tried to use UDA to ADD new infromation to my mark, but this isn't in my drawing

[@sreeharinair4068]

Dear Mr.Wilson i am also looking for tutorials for tekla structures

[@Rockz099]

could u please share this model for learning ? thank you!

[@CSWilsonDraws]

Unfortunately, I am not able to share this model since the original design does not belong to me.

[@Rockz099]

@@CSWilsonDraws thank you so much for the answer !

[@ni-world642]

How to import csv in tekla?

[@chethanshettyshetty]

Hello can I get that formula

[@chethanshettyshetty]

Continuing above comment if we changed the Assembly name in template this will reflects in CNC data as well in KSS file??
