Released in late 2024 as a critical service pack update, Tekla Structures 2024 SP7.0 (x64) delivers essential fixes and workflow enhancements for building information modeling (BIM), ensuring reliable detailing, clash-free coordination, and seamless fabrication for steel, concrete, and mixed-material structures.
Key Highlights
- More Reliable Drawing Cloning – Streamlined duplication of fabrication and assembly drawings with fewer manual adjustments, ideal for repetitive structural elements.
- Custom Colors in Drawings – Expanded support for user-defined colors in hatches and lines, plus improved print line properties for accurate output across all modes.
- New CAP Height Printing Option – Standardized font height scaling based on CAP height for consistent, professional-looking printed drawings and exports.
- BCF Topics Enhancements – Better integration with reference models (e.g., from Revit) for issue tracking and stakeholder collaboration in BIM workflows.
- UDA Clearing in Standards – Automatic cleanup of user-defined attributes when loading standard files, reducing errors in part modeling.
- Performance & Stability – Fixes for printing old drawings (Special colors now render correctly), Excel VBA script crashes, and multi-user sync issues.
- Interoperability Boosts – Improved IFC export with property sets and DGN output for MicroStation compatibility.
