Still spending hours tweaking 2D drawings in Tekla? There’s a smarter way—and it doesn’t require you to become a coder.
Join Greg Olszewski on 13 May 2025 at 2:00 PM (UK time) for a free Rhino User Webinar. He’ll show you how to use the Grasshopper plugin to automate your Tekla drawing tasks and cut down on repetitive work.
What You’ll Learn
This session introduces a practical way to customise and automate 2D drawings in Tekla using Grasshopper—a visual programming tool that’s part of Rhino. The plugin links Grasshopper to Tekla’s drawing features, making it easier to adapt outputs to fit your project needs.
Here’s what to expect:
- Understand the limits of standard Tekla drawing tools—and where automation helps.
- Learn by doing: Greg will walk through using Grasshopper’s drag-and-drop interface to automate common drawing edits, with minimal coding.
- Work with Rhino.Geometry: Use it to calculate projections, intersections, and precise model data to improve your annotations.
- See real examples: Get practical scripts that solve common challenges in Tekla drawing production.
Whether you’ve never opened Grasshopper or already use Tekla’s Open API, this session will show you new ways to reduce manual steps and improve accuracy.
Meet the Speaker
Greg Olszewski is a software engineer with a background in structural engineering. Over the last five years, he’s focused on automating Tekla drawings. Frustrated with the complexity of the Tekla Open API, he developed this Grasshopper plugin to make automation more accessible—without the need for heavy coding.
