TEKLA: Combine multiple part into one

Easiest way is using “add part to assembly” or sub-assembly. But this sometime create an issue, especially if you want to export out this data to other software.

Solution: use “added material” instead.

Multiple parts in one assembly, created using “Add Part to Assembly” method. Notice there’s few parts name for one assembly. Changing name made using assembly properties, not part properties.

TEKLA: Change assembly / panel numbering manually

Numbering is unique ID for each panel or assembly in TEKLA modelling. Sometimes the number messed up and you want to re-arranged it manually (because the automatic setting just won’t pick up the arrangement that you want). Sometimes you need to change the number in order to clone drawing from previous panel with different prefix name. For whatever reason, this is the easy way to re-number them:

1. Use “Select Component” Mode.

2. Select the panel you wish to amend.
