Tekla Structures BIM software

Models created with Tekla BIM software carry the accurate, reliable and detailed information needed for successful Building Information Modeling and construction execution. Welcome smoother workflow to your company with Tekla Structures and constructable models.

Tekla works with all materials and the most complex structures – you set the limits. Our customers have used Tekla Structures to model stadiums, offshore structures, plants and factories, residential buildings, bridges and skyscrapers.

The new software version arrives with improvements and fixes – be it drawings, collaboration, or modeling complex geometries or reinforcement.

Create more complete drawings faster and take advantage of the benefits of the enhanced Layout and Template editors, DWG export functionality and Drawing snapshots.

The new Spiral Beam makes modeling structures such as spiral shaped stairs quick and easy, regardless of the material. Working with steel bent plates is now easier than ever. Precast concrete Floor and Wall Layout and the flexible, intelligent method for modeling and modifying reinforcement have been improved.

Tekla Structures 2017 includes a customizable user interface, contextual toolbar and enhancements that make modeling quicker and easier and design communication more effective. New links improve interoperability.

There is now more control to Direct modification, Organizer is faster and general arrangement and detailed drawings functionalities have been improved.

The user interface now has a customizable ribbon and contextual toolbar that can be implemented to all users in your company. Result: Optimized UI speeds up modelling for everyone. Also the 3D graphics have a new look with shadows.

More complete drawings faster

In drawing setup and layout, what you see is now what you get, which makes generating more reliable drawings from your constructible 3D model quicker and easier.

Enhanced Template editor

Template Editor enables powerful, clear and customizable reporting and scheduling. Create efficiently more reliable schedules and reports with exact quantities, using the format that best suits your business standards and looks professional. What you see on the drawing and on the schedule match 100%, and there is no need for Excel or exporting and re-importing.

Improved DWG export

With the enhanced DWG export functionality, you can create AutoCAD drawings fast. Utilize the accuracy of Tekla models to create AutoCAD files that follow industry requirements and standards for layers, colors and linetypes. Model curves in steel and concrete quickly, show it in drawings, and then easily update the model and drawing as the design changes.

New Spiral beam

The all new Spiral beam lets you model with ease spiral stringers, handrails, ramps, stairs and more. The spiral beam maintains a constant up direction for the profile and provides accurate, constructible geometry. With the property pane, it is easy to check and set properties for multiple spiral beams at once. It provides clear visualization of your changes and shows if the properties vary between the selected spiral beams.

Precast concrete: Enhanced Floor and Wall Layout tools

Floor and Wall Layout tools are now at hand in the Ribbon menu and easier to use, too. Direct preview in Floor Layout makes modeling easier and prevents misplacements of panels. You can move and copy both floor and wall openings by dragging and dropping.

🌐 Languages

Multi-language version: includes all available languages.

🧩 Addons & Plugins

This is a multi-package portable. Plugins/addons/extensions/presets/brushes/etc can be added in two ways:
• via .svm files (managed by me), put in the same folder as main exe.
• via 'normal files' (managed by you), put under sandbox folder.

▶ Show detailed guide on adding plugins

Why separate .svm packages?

• Useful for plugins: reduces main exe size, and makes the portable modular. Wow!
• I can release small updates/fixes without re-downloading the whole app.

How to add plugins? Two ways:

• SVM: Special format for my Portables. Put .svm file next to the .exe, it loads at next startup.
  If available, you will find all compatible addons/plugins/update packs as .svm files on this post. If you want a new plugin, just request it on the Requests page and I'll do my best to create the svm file for you. If not available, use 'normal files' method.
• NORMAL FILES: Put regular files (not .svm) somewhere under the Sandbox folder, indicated below. It is created next to the portable at the first startup. The exact path may vary depending on where you put the files in the OFFICIAL installation, which I have no control over. The \Sandbox\...\roaming\modified\ folder acts as the C: drive for the portable. @PROGRAMFILES@ is the usual /Program Files/ folder (x64), @APPDATALOCAL@ is the usual /AppData/Local/ folder, etc. - so things must be in the correct location to be detected, by the portable, just like the usual installed app 🙂
  Example: Put .aex After Effects plugins in the /Plug-ins/ subfolder, .aep Premiere Pro preset file in /Preset/ subfolder, .mp4 files for Filmora fx pack video preset files somewhere else idk they keep changing.
  Notable folder examples:
  "\Sandbox\{app name}\roaming\modified\@PROGRAMFILES@\..." = program files
  "\Sandbox\{app name}\roaming\modified\@PROGRAMFILESX86@\..." = program files x86
  "\Sandbox\{app name}\roaming\modified\@APPDATALOCAL@\..." = C:\ProgramData

Trouble? Please comment telling me exactly how you add that plugin in the normal setup/installation version, only then I can guide you on how to do the same in portable version.

📦 Sandbox folder: \Sandbox\Tekla Structures 2026\roaming\modified\@PROGRAMFILES@\Tekla Structures\2026\bin\

⚡ Portable Features

• No installation required
• No Admin rights needed
• Pre-activated (program and plugins)
• 100% offline and safe to use, no firewall/hosts needed
• Sandbox folder containing modified settings, delete to reset
• Just run it and enjoy!
