AutoConnections in Tekla Structures

AutoConnections are a free, functional component of all modeling configurations of our BIM software Tekla Structures.

They support you in the automatic creation of connections and the fast, rule-based detailing of models. AutoConnections rule groups and their subordinate rule sets are easy to define and use and can also be changed at any time.

In the video we show you three different use cases:

Example 1 - "Cutbacks" regular group
Example 2 - "Basic" standard group
Example 3 - "Beam supports" standard group

Find out more about our 3D planning software on the product page.
