This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about finding, downloading, installing, and managing Tekla Structures extension packages to supercharge your workflow. Why Use Tekla Structures Extension Packages?

– Adds custom variables throughout the Tekla system, available in reports, model labels, drawings, .NET API, filters, and IFC export.

For large engineering firms, installing extensions machine-by-machine is inefficient. BIM administrators can utilize the tool or configure a centralized Company Folder on a shared network drive. Placing unzipped extension files into the network XS_COMPANY_SETTINGS directory ensures all detailers utilize identical plugin versions. Uninstalling Extensions

Use the sidebars to filter by product version (e.g., Tekla Structures 2024), content type, or category.
