"Great for shaping steel and rebar"
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Tekla Structures from other similar products?
Excellent for constructing models and diagrams. The visuals are done very well, and they help in locating the issues in a hurry. Tekla Structures is the only product of its kind on the market, so there are no direct competitors for it.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Detail-oriented. drawings for production Editing and labeling are both options. The loading and unloading of data is an option. We are able to determine whether or not our product can be transported. It is an excellent program for steel detailing.
What do you dislike most about this product?
There is some ambiguity in the numbering system, which is a minor flaw. Maybe the issue is just with me, but I tried a lot of different strategies. I double-checked the figures to make sure they were correct, and now they're a complete mess. When that time is up, I'll have to start from scratch. I also have to record the video every time I want to use the visualizer because we can't save it while we're using it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Those people who are thinking about constructing multi-story steel buildings should give the idea some thought, as my recommendation is that they do so.
Pros
- Effective Service
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Inspires Innovation

What differentiates Tekla Structures from other similar products?
Great for creating diagrams and models. The visuals are done really well and aid in quickly identifying the difficulties. As a one-of-a-kind program, Tekla Structures has no direct competitors in the market.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Detail-oriented. production drawing Possible to edit and label. data loading/unloading is possible. We can determine if our product is transportable. It's a great steel-detailing program.
What do you dislike most about this product?
In point of fact, the numbering system is a little bit confusing. I gave a bunch of various approaches a go, so maybe the problem is just with me. When I look at the numbers again to make sure they are correct, everything is a mess. After that, I'll have to begin all over again. In addition, we are unable to store the video while using the visualizer, which means that whenever I want to use it, I have to record it first.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Those individuals who are considering constructing multi-story steel buildings should give it some consideration, as I would suggest they do so.
Pros
- Client Friendly Policies
- Continually Improving Product
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity

Perfect for measurement layouts.

What differentiates Tekla Structures from other similar products?
When creating your pattern to complete the concrete job, this program is incredibly useful, especially for all the measurements and the tiny details. It is typically fairly challenging to just jot down on a piece of paper to deliver to the customer.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
As far as the creation of the most realistic 3D BIM files is concerned, particularly when it comes to steel structures, then this is the method to employ. Not only can you model every aspect of a structural steel structure in 3D, but you can also create an exhaustive report that serves as a bill of materials and is useful for creating any purchase orders.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The requirement that you have prior knowledge in order to use this 3D programme was maybe its least desirable feature. If you are unfamiliar with it or are using it for the first time, you will make a lot of mistakes. Additionally, it is advised to use it under supervision.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The construction sector uses this technology to coordinate, integrate 3D models, communicate information, and look for conflicts. Although it is a sophisticated tool, learning how to use it and producing useful work is extremely simple for beginning users. The best feature of this tool is that it can be used on touch-screen mobile phones, tablets, and other smart devices.

- Helps Innovate
