Tekla Connector Beta

I installed the Speckle Beta connector in Tekla 2024. I’m modeling the the imperial environment, nevertheless, when exporting the model into Speckle, the model is scaled x25.4 times. I am trying to change the scale but I don’t see any options. It seems that the model is changing the units to millimeters. How can I bring it back to ft-inches?

Hi @Juan_Diego_Leca_Pere,

Welcome to the community! Feel free to Introduce yourself :person_gesturing_ok: to the community if you want to! :grinning_face:

Thanks for reporting the issue, I’ll investigate it and will let you know!

Hey @Juan_Diego_Leca_Pere,

I couldn’t reproduce your issue on my end. I sent a single column -in US imperial environment- and it worked as expected.

One could argue that Report Properties should adapt to the units though, I agree and will work on it. But I couldn’t see a scaling issue.

Do you mind sending me the model you’re using?

Hi @dogukan,
The properties in speckle look good, but if I use the dimension tool, it shows the model is 25.4 times bigger.
I’ve attached a snapshot showing that the properties indicate the wall width is 304.8mm (which is equal to 12"), but the measure tool shows 297.06 inches. I am using Speckle to connect Tekla with Revit, and when I bring the model into Revit, I get a model that is 25.4 times bigger.

I also tried uploading an IFC into Speckle, and the scale was good, but when I imported that IFC into Revit, some of the properties were lost. That’s why I want to use the Speckle connector to report the model from Tekla to Speckle.
I can share the speckle model with you if that works.

Let me know, and thanks for reaching back to me
