See Tekla Structures Help for more information about NC files.

Creates NC files from the selected parts using the given NC template name.

See Tekla Structures Help for more information about NC files.

Creates a report from all the objects using the given template name and filename.

If a path is not given in the filename, the file is created to the folder defined with the advanced option XS_REPORT_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY.

If the given folder does not exist, the report creation fails.

Internally, this method is asynchronous, and because of that the output file cannot be immediately available.

See Tekla Structures Help for more information about reports.

Creates a report from the selected objects using the given template name and filename.

If a path is not given in the filename, the file is created to the folder defined with the advanced option XS_REPORT_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY.

If the given folder does not exist, the report creation fails.

See Tekla Structures Help for more information about reports.

Displays a message in the status bar.

Opens and displays a report with the given name.

If a path is not given in the filename, the file is searched from the folder defined with the advanced option XS_REPORT_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY.

See Tekla Structures Help for more information about reports.

Deletes bentPlate and inserts ContourPlates instances equivalent to the ones used to create bentPlate. The ContourPlate created from the main polygon has the same identifier as bentPlate.

Get the Shape Item Handle Points

Gets similar objects based on numbering of given object.

Groups a list of single rebars or rebar groups and creates a new rebar group.

Highlight the list of objects from the user interface. Only the list of objects will be highlighted, the rest will be unhighlighted. But it will keep the status of the selected objects. To unhighlight give an empty list as a parameter.

Returns true if a macro is running, false otherwise.

Macros are saved as *.cs files in the folder defined with the XS_MACRO_DIRECTORY variable.

See Tekla Structures Help for more information about macros.

Tells whether a model has auto saved information.

Checks whether the numbering is allowed or not in the current configuration.

Checks whether the numbering is up-to-date for an assembly, part, rebar, surface treatment, pour object or break.

Checks whether the numbering is up-to-date for every assembly, part and rebar on the model.

Moves the model object using the given translation vector.

Moves the model object between the given translation coordinate systems.

This command is meant for specifically splitting a concrete slab with advanced solid operations to create more robust and user friendly results than the command: public static ContourPlate Split(ContourPlate Object, Polygon SplitPolygon). No validation is done for the type, it is the caller's responsibility to call this only for valid types (slabs). Behavior for non-slabs is undetermined.

Ungroups the rebar group and creates new single rebars.

Ungroups the rebar mesh and creates new single rebars.
