Unlock the full potential of Tekla with this comprehensive Tips & Tricks video! BuildingPoint Scandinavia’s Brian Jønck treats viewers to a variety of practical tips and tricks to enhance their experience with Tekla and become more productive!

This time he shares topics gathered from “here and there” through his career in Trimble and BuildingPoint Scandinavia. Some tips are original, other tips are stuff you may know but have forgotten… regardless, we are sure you will learn at least ONE thing, if not many things from the video!

Big thanks to colleagues in Trimble, Tekla and BuildingPoint for sharing tips!

What you'll learn in the video:
The tutorial spans lots of essential topics! The tutorial covers modeling and drawing techniques, but extends into topics related to reference models, and performance optimization strategies:

1) Modeling tips
Modeling in Tekla is fun and and efficient, but there are tons of small tricks that aren’t easily found by new users. In the video we cover Modeling related things like:

- Copy to another object
- Copy linear with calculation
- Build beam with angle and length
- Direct manipulation
- Find related objects in the model
- Undo function
- Lock coordinates
- Search bar
- Select report
- Helpful points
- Change rebar-set shape
- Back to previous selection
- Select all part in assembly
- Batch Editing
- Keyboard shortcuts


2) Drawing tips
Although drawingless projects are an ambition in many projects, it is still normal to product drawings. In the video we share drawing related tips like:
- Overlay drawing in model
- Show drawing view’s in model
- Main view on the drawing
- Dimensioning tips
- Add parallel dimension
- Add perpendicular dimension
- Radius dimension
- Symbol in text
- Additional topics

3) Other topics
Overall, the video offers a comprehensive guide suitable for both beginners and experienced users, aiming to streamline and improve modeling and drawing workflows. But we also find time for other topic areas, like:
- Reference model tips
- Performance tips

We hope you find this useful!
