How to create custom Contour Plates using the Tekla Open API from Tek1 on Vimeo.
Manually creating contour plates from CSV file inputs will likely be disastrous. You’ll inevitably make mistakes and things won’t fit on site: it will be an uphill battle. You can obviate these issues by using the Tekla Open API to solve a lot of those problems.
See the video associated with this post for a demostration of our capabilities using the Tekla Open API.
Thank you for passing by!
Many have been writing for a basic sample: so you may try this below:
Has the job been completed? 🙂
Can we see the source code? Thank you in advance for the reply.
By the way, thank you for posting the Tekla content! Probably one of the best, if not the best Tekla API learning resource online.
The job is still going on, I will post as soon as it’s done

Thank you for the reply.
Is the Job completed? I tried to copy a ContourPlate programmatically. The new plate had a different vector than the original and Position values opposite.
To answer your question: yes the job has been completed, but that’s only a tiny fraction of the total project. I’ll publish the entire lot as soon as the plates have been fabricated (there are many)…….I think i gave a basic example. As far as the different vectors: it’s very hard to comment without seeing your code directly. I think i posted a very basic “hello world” example, didn’t i?
Thanks for sharing knowledge, much appreciate it!
I am using Tekla from 2008, know how to make custom reports, components etc.
Recently I took a diploma in C# and want to learn how to use Open API and I find hard to collect information and examples without having to take a course.
From the time I saw your videos, I’m thrilled and I want to improve my skills to Open API.
Thank you again for everything.

You don’t necessarily need a course. Read code, and try and piece it together from the Tekla API documentation.
