Tekla Structures 18 Publish To 3D-PDF 2.1

Tekla Structures 18 Publish To 3D‑PDF is an add-on that exports your Tekla Structures 18 model to an interactive 3D PDF. It turns selected parts, assemblies, or the entire model into a lightweight document that stakeholders can open in Adobe Acrobat Reader—no Tekla license required.

Key features

• Interactive viewing: rotate, pan, and zoom the model directly in the PDF.
• Object selection and properties: click elements to view key attributes exported from Tekla (for example, name, profile, material, or phase).
• Flexible export: publish the whole model or filtered selections (by phase, assembly, or custom filters), and choose color schemes such as by class or phase.
• Views and navigation: include saved views and camera positions for guided reviews; use sectioning tools available in 3D‑capable PDF viewers.
• Review and markup: recipients can add comments and markups in the PDF and return feedback without specialized software.
• Shareable deliverables: compact files that are easy to email or distribute to non-CAD users.

• RFIs and approval workflows
