1Template Attributes Reference Guide

You can use template fields in drawing and report templates. When you open a drawing orcreate a report, Tekla Structures uses the attributes and formulas to calculate and displayinformation from the model database. This could, for example, include assembly weight or

cover area.

Descriptions of template attributes are listed in alphabetical order. Expand the table ofcontents to browse the template attributes.

1.1 A

ACN

Shows control numbers.

For more information on control numbers, see and .

ACTIVE_DESIGN_CODE

Shows the active design code of material.

ADDRESS

Shows the address entered in the Project propertiesdialog box.

Show bending angles of reinforcing bars based on the mappings in therebar_schedule_config.inpfile, located in the ..\ProgramData\Tekla

Structures\\environments\\systemfolder.

These mappings are environment-specific by default. You can modify them to suit yourcompany or project needs.

AREA

Shows the following information:

For plate type catalog profiles, any parametric profiles and any catalog profiles with

Cover areaproperty not defined, shows the total net area of all surfaces. For other types of catalog profiles with Cover areaproperty defined, shows the gross

total surface area.

The area is calculated using the extreme length and profile cover area per meter (valuedefined in the profile catalog). The cross area on profile ends, cuts and fittings are nottaken into account.

AREA_GROSS on page 13

AREA_NET on page 14

AREA_FORM_TOP, AREA_FORM_BOTTOM, AREA_FORM_SIDE

Shows the area of faces whose normal vector points to the following directions:

top of form (AREA_FORM_TOP)

bottom of form (AREA_FORM_BOTTOM)

form sides (AREA_FORM_SIDE)

For assemblies, the main part local up direction dictates the form up/bottom/sides directions.Faces which are inclined less than 5 degrees are counted in the top and bottom areas. Faces

which are skew => 85 degrees are counted in the side areas. Faces which are exactly 45degrees against main global or local axes, are not counted to any direction.

AREA_FORM_TOP =42 sq.ft.

AREA_FORM_BOTTOM= 42 sq.ft.

AREA_FORM_SIDE =2*(2*7 + 3*6) +2*(2*6 + 2*6) =64 + 48 = 112sq.ft.

19/94

If an assembly is completely within a tolerance distance (by default 500 mm) of grid line A,the position code is the label of that grid line: A.

If the assembly is partially or entirely outside the tolerance distance, the code is acombination of grid labels: A-B.

To change the default tolerance distance, set the advanced option

XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_CODE_TOLERANCE=750(for example).

To include the Z orientation in the code, set the advanced option

XS_ASSEMBLY_POSITION_CODE_3Dto TRUE. The code would be similar to:
