Tekla Structures 2026
Summary of version highlights, improvements & feature updates
AI Cloud Fabrication Drawings & Improved Cloning
Cadex SA’s auto drawing wizards produce the best out-of-the-box drawings.
Spend less time producing fabrication drawings with refined AI, improved cloning, better view placement, improved dimension handling, and more consistent section view behaviour.
Tekla Structures 2026 helps deliver more accurate drawings faster, with a clearer and more capable cloud drawing workflow.
Cloud-Based Project Settings Management
Standardize project settings across teams with centralized cloud control.
Manage templates, catalogs, reports, extensions, and other project settings more easily, reduce manual setup, and help ensure every project member starts with the correct environment.
Trimble Assistants for Tekla & Model Assistant (Preview)
Access information faster and make Tekla easier to use with improved AI assistants.
Get better in-product answers, support for scripting and code workflows, and early natural-language model and drawing interaction through the Model Assistant preview.
Workspace, Views & Daily Work Improvements
Set up a more comfortable workspace with easier theme control, improved docking, and better view management.
Tekla Structures 2026 helps users organize, find, share, and work with views more efficiently on larger projects.
Faster Early Design Documentation
Prepare plan, section, and elevation drawings faster by working with the model and GA drawings side by side.
Changes become visible immediately, reducing rework and helping users iterate faster during early project stages.
Copy from Another Model & Drawing Clipboard
Save time by reusing proven model and drawing content from previous projects.
Copy details, components, assemblies, notes, and 2D drawing objects more directly, with less repetitive rework.
Intuitive 2D Sketching & Drawing Notes
Communicate designs more clearly with improved 2D sketching, adaptive drawing insulation, integrated rich text notes, and faster reuse of drawing content between projects.
From Concept to Detail
Keep steel and concrete workflows connected from conceptual design through verification, detailing, and construction.
Transfer models to Tekla Structural Designer using the new direct data exchange and reduce duplicate modelling and avoidable errors.
Detailing Productivity & Reinforcement Improvements
Improve constructability with more capable rebar sets, stronger reinforcement annotations, and better control while working with drawings alongside the model. Gain more confidence that what you design is what gets built.
Connected Data with Trimble Connect
Bring live property data, statuses, and linked drawing PDFs into Tekla Structures so models, metadata, and site information stay better aligned in a single connected workflow.
Advanced IFC Interoperability
Export IFC with greater control over scope, attributes, and entity types.
Meet IFC 4.3 requirements more confidently and share exactly the information each stakeholder needs.
Out-of-Tolerance Workflow
Identify discrepancies between design intent and as-built conditions earlier, visualize deviations faster, and act before site issues become costly rework. consuming local hardware resources.
