BASICS - XSTEEL

In this section

This section presents basic Xsteel vocabulary and concepts so that you can start modeling. The illustration below shows the modeling guides you use in Tekla Structures windows.



View

To see your Tekla Structures model from virtually any angle, you can move and rotate the model. You can also create views. A view is a representation of a model from a specific location. Each view is displayed in its own window inside the Xsteel window.

Coordinate system

The symbol with three axes (x, y, and z) represents the local coordinate system and indicates the direction of the model. It is located in the lower right corner of the model view. The coordinate symbol follows the work plane.

The green cube in a wire frame view represents the global coordinate system and lies at the global point of origin.

Work plane

The red coordinate arrow symbol indicates the work plane, which is the current local coordinate system of the model. The arrow symbol shows the xy plane. The z direction follows the right-hand rule. You can reset the work plane so as to ease modeling and placing objects. Most of the commands, which are dependent on the coordinate system, use work plane coordinates; e.g. creating points, part positioning, and copying always comply with the work plane coordinate system. The work plane is the same in all views.

Work area

Tekla Structures indicates the work area of a view using green, dashed lines. Defining the work area makes it faster and easier to work with the model. Objects outside the work area still exist, but they are not visible. So you can confine to a substructure, for example, and the views to the model are simpler and quickly updated.

Grid and view plane

Dash-and-dot lines show the projections of the grids which are visible on the view plane.

The appearance of points also shows which view plane you are using. Points located in the view plane are yellow. Points outside the view plane are red.
