flattened round tubes with tekla

[teklast]

Hello, I would have a curiosity about the use of tekla structures to generate the slings of round tubes:
in the properties of prefabrication drawings, better use the "tubes" or "wrap_tp" properties?
Thank you.

There are basically no big differences.
from my experience I can tell you that tubes I use it for pipe padding while wrap_tp for all the other paved.

Thank you. .
I would have another curiosity as it is the first time I face this kind of work.
I have tubes with big thickness (over 10). ..di that it is better to give only the external pavement, or also to indicate the internal one (tracked), activating the specific variable?

 

[cris74]

I always give the inside because depending on the angle of arrival of the secondary on the main one must shape the tube with the outside or the inside

Thank you, very kind!! :finger:

Hello teklast

as cris told you the two configurations do the same thing.
the differences between the two configurations are only in the drawing settings as color scale quote etc...
As for displaying thicknesses I also recommend you to view both of them

 

[teklast]

my client (unfortunately) just last night asked me to give in the workshop the paved one line, so I will have to avoid the internal thickness.
I will mention trying some tubes before cutting everything and... I'll send you a good one. .

Thank you.

for automatic cutting of pipes there are various roads that you can follow with tekla according to the needs of the workshop.

try to call the assistance that will surely recommend the best road

I paid assistance for the first 3-4 years but then I realized that for 1-2 calls the year was for me an unsustainable cost.
anyway thanks to the same :finger:

the service offered by harpaceas is great, but I just can't afford it

teklast your post leaves me puzzled
do not pay + the assistaneza then do not receive + even updates and new versions. You're gonna have to repay the full license? But do you want to?
or maybe you decided to abandon tekla

for my work use both tekla and autocad, we say each to 50%.
work alone and the cost for assistance was heavily affected by my budget. I haven't paid for it for several years now and therefore I don't receive updates anymore.
If and when I decide to move to a new version I will pay the full license but, count to the hand, not having paid the assistance for several years, I will still have a good saving.
right or wrong that this is the choice I made.

 

[cris74]

ok thanks for the clarification
I personally do not share it but are my problems, I only say that for a new license you have to save at least 7/8 years of assistance so the jump to do is remarkable
Anyway I repeat it is not my problem was just to know

 

[teklast]

question to fly...
Did you ever happen to have tekla draw a same brand on 2 different multidrawing designs?
the brand is unequivocally the same that tekla designed (by mistake) for 2 times.. .
Thank you.

 

[cris74]

if it matters manually it does but you actually did
if instead you make multi to tekla this is not possible

I made multi create tekla and the same brand put it on 2 different designs.
until this morning I thought it wasn't possible.

Hello teklast

If I don't remember badly I feel like I read in the manuals that it is possible to decide whether to allow a design to be inserted into multiple designs.
Unfortunately I use them very little I try to find help and if I have to find something I'll let you know.
It is a shame that you did not renew the assistance that in this case as in many others would definitely help you.

Thank you for your help.
I'd like to pay you.
for the first years I did... but then dividing the annual amount paid for (max.) 4 calls per year I made, the cost/benefit of the service was not suitable for my budgets

in advanced options of tekla there is a variable to choose if to allow the insertion of a table in more than one multiple design, the variable is xs_allow_drawing_to_many_multi_drawings

Thanks, I checked but this variable has not assigned any value, so it should not allow the insertion of the same brand on 2 multiple designs.
the strange thing is that only one brand has been inserted on 2 different multidrawings... but only that one.
then the problem has not been repeated.
I keep not explaining how this thing happened... but I have to accept it. . .
However thanks to the interest.

the behavior you indicated is really strange, is it not that by chance you copied or connected views manually in multidrawing?
