SkillMaster
SkillMaster - application for improving productivity in Tekla Structures. You need to install plugin SaprApps.
Main idea:
- Increase speed of routine operations more than 10 times
- Click count decrease (in model and drawings)
- Pop-out windows decrease
- Automatic unification
SkillMaster presentation [ENGLISH SUBS]:

Main functions for model:
- Profile type changing. Class will be set automatically.
- Crosssection orientation and rotate changing.
- Model object increasing and decreasing.
- Beam material, name and prefix, class setting.
- Fast selection of similar beams.
