From Model to Reality: Detailing Balustrading for a Foot Bridge Project
As a steel detailer, nothing compares to the satisfaction of seeing your detailed model come to life. I recently had the opportunity to witness the fabrication of one of my detailing projects in Australia. Balustrading for Foot Bridge

This has not proven very effective because mistakes have been repeated: especially when people have been warned via memos, training videos, phone calls, messages etc. I will ...

Our use case? - Detailers copy / paste profiles from structural drawings into a CSV file. - This CSV file is then used to create a model. - It is essential that the profiles are recognisable by Tekla. How can we check? - Through a data validation directly in Excel. Or - By validating the data directly in your code. using Tekla.Structures.Catalogs; // download this dll from Nuget public bool CSVProfilesAreCorrect(List dataRows) { if (_areCSVProfilesCorrect()) { return true; } else { throw new SystemException($"The CSV files have these profiles which don't exist in Tekla: {String.Join(", ", string.Join(", ", csvProfiles.Except(teklaProfiles)))}"); } bool _areCSVProfilesCorrect() { HashSet csvProfiles = dataRows.Select(row => row.Profile).ToHashSet(); HashSet tekla...
