Bent plates in Tekla

I’ve been trying to creat a flange on a piece on a plate in Tekla. Which works, but it creates a another single plate to replace the previous 2. But the previous 2 remain.

I prefer not to create another plate, as previous work,modifications to the orginal plate will be lost.

I suspect it may be a tekla variable, not sure if it the direction of the curves?

Thanks for any help.

Thank you so much rajeev. I played with that for 2 weeks. Really appreciate your help.

Rajeev,

I put the bent plate as input into the Autobolt, and its an illegal input. I cant get it to work in raw tekla. So I’m assumining that we cant bolt bent plates with Grasshopper :frowning:

Any suggestion welcome ?

Cheers

Greg

I suspect the problem is a limitation with the the autobolt component within Tekla.
