Hello everyone,
I recently purchased Rhino 8 this week and I’m starting to integrate it with Tekla Structures 2021 SP3 (Build 6682) using Grasshopper and Tekla Live Link.
At the moment I was able to create an element in Grasshopper and send it successfully to Tekla Structures, so apparently the connection is working. However, I would like to better understand from experienced users:
-
Is Rhino 8 fully compatible with Tekla Structures 2021?
-
Does everything work correctly or are there known limitations?
-
Do I need to make any additional installation/configuration adjustments?
-
Which version of Grasshopper/Tekla Live Link is recommended for Rhino 8 + Tekla 2021?
-
Is Rhino.Inside required or only optional?
-
Are there any specific plugin files or compatibility packages I should install?
-
Does Tekla 2021 work better with Rhino 7 instead of Rhino 8?
-
Any recommendations regarding stability, synchronization, or real-time updates?
I’m mainly interested in:
-
Parametric steel structures
-
Grasshopper automation model 3d and drawings
-
BIM workflows
-
Real-time interaction between Rhino/Grasshopper and Tekla Structures
Any guidance from users already working with this workflow would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
