Hi All, @Reynold_Chan !
Do we have possibility to select exported parameters from Tekla model, like we do while exporting IFC files? If we think of speckle as a data hub - this shall be keystone of exporting options for Tekla.

Hi Pavel,
Right now the connector does include all User Properties by default, so your custom defined fields. But not the Report Properties i.e. the native Tekla ones like you show. But I agree this would be a great feature to include where you can choose which properties you want!

As an addition to Pavel’s suggestion, I see right now that in the Revit connector Instance Parameters are only created on receive if the object is defined as a Revit object with Revit parameters. But from other software (Tekla in this case) it would be great to be able to get the Tekla properties as Instance parameters on the object like how it is done when importing an IFC into Revit.

I would also like that very much, as it would also fit into a current demand of mine

Hello everyone, I hope this message finds you well. I have recently installed the Speckle Tekla Connector, however, I am having trouble locating it on Tekla Structures. I have attempted to find it on both versions 2020 and 2021, but unfortunately, have not been successful. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have checked the directory and confirmed that the installation is present here. However, I am uncertain about the cause of the problem.
Hi @Mohamed_Manseur,
Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention! Could you please let me know where your TeklaStructures.exe is located?

Hello again @Mohamed_Manseur,
I am struggling to figure out what may have gone wrong here. The only thing that I can think of is that Tekla registers all the loaded plugins when the program first opens. Therefore if Tekla was already open when you installed the Speckle plugin, you would need to close Tekla and reopen it for Tekla to register it. Could you close Tekla and reopen it and see if that solves the issue?

Hey @colin.macdonald ,
Welcome to the community! Feel free to Introduce yourself 
to the community if you want to! 
Can you please share the Speckle Model URL?
Hey @colin.macdonald ,
Thank you for sharing the Speckle Model URL. I was able to reproduce the issue you mentioned and it seems like this model is extremely large (couple KMs). My suspicion is that there may be an issue with the units. Would it be possible for you to share the Tekla file as well? If you are not comfortable sharing it here, you can send it to me through a direct message.
Hmm, that’s weird the model isn’t that large. here is the ifc file from tekla.
IFC-Tekla.ifc (1004.2 KB)
Hey @colin.macdonald ,
Can you share the original tekla file? I am able to view the IFC file in the viewer (Viewer - Community Tickets - Speckle). This looks like a Tekla issue.
I’m not sure what you mean by tekla file. Tekla saves the project in a folder structure with different files
Hi @here,
I have some news to share with you. I believe you’ll find this announcement interesting
