If you want to waste time on a poorly documented API (which doesn't make any sense) I would highly recommend getting on Tekla. I'm documenting this so some poor soul doesn't waste a day trying to debug this: // what’s wrong with this?   Beam b = new Beam();   b.SetUserProperty("USER_FIELD_1", "your data");   b.Insert(); Do you see the problem? First insert the beam, and then apply the UDA and it should work: // it only works AFTER you insert   Beam b = new Beam();   b.Insert();   b.SetUserProperty("USER_FIELD_1", “your data”); What glorious waste of time trying to work out why it failed! But the problem is not with you - the problem is with the API. It fails silently, and the documentation is poor. https://www.tek1.com.au/tekla-api/why-arent-the-user-defined-attributes-being-defined-in-teklas-open-api/

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) { HashSet csvProfiles = dataRows.Select(row => row.Profile).ToHashSet(); HashSet teklaProfiles = getAllTeklaProfiles().ToHashSet(); 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 _areCSVP...

Full Checklist Background: - ABC's entirely production line and jigs are optimised for a specific workflow. DO NOT deviate from their requirements. There is a need to be pedantic because otherwise things won't work - beams and steel will be wasted, delays will result, and we will be cursed to the high heavens. Rules: - Do not edit model. - Do not renumber anything. - Do not rotate ANYTHING. - Do not change the names of drawings. Name of the drawing should be the name of the truss. If there are any issues, msg client. Rotation and Flipping - check if rotation / flipping has happened - Check if any rotations happened. How? - (1) Everything with our client works: Left-to-Right. If something is not Left to right - then it may have been rotated. We need to alert our client to this. - (2) We have the PDFs. We must check the drawings against the pdfs and note where they are any discrepancies. If there are discrepancies - alert our client. Because Tekla may be rotating the drawing. - (...

There is a need to be pedantic because otherwise things won't work - beams and steel will be wasted, delays will result, and we will be cursed to the high heavens. Rules: - Do not rotate ANYTHING. - Do not change the names of drawings. Name of the drawing should be the name of the truss. Blue Angle Issue - When dimension beams, dimension just beams. Do not dimension to the end plates. Probably because they are cutting the beams and adding the end plates later. (i.e. their production facility is optimised for this workflow).

Background: - CSB's entirely production line and jigs are optimised for a specific workflow. DO NOT deviate from their requirements. There is a need to be pedantic because otherwise things won't work - beams and steel will be wasted, delays will result, and we will be cursed to the high heavens. Rules: - Do not rotate ANYTHING. - Do not change the names of drawings. Name of the drawing should be the name of the truss. Blue Angle Issue - When dimensioning beams, dimension just beams. Do not dimension to the endplates. Probably because they are cutting the beams and adding the end plates later. (i.e. their production facility is optimised for this workflow). Information - Pink Notes: pink notes in the model which mostly has information like weld types and other informations that are not necessary for a detailer. https://www.tek1.com.au/staff-memos/csb-standards-checklist/
