Tekla Structures 2025 includes advanced drawing automation capabilities and tools that streamline the user experience, reducing the need for manual rework and helping users adhere to company and regulatory standards. Notably, the new AI Cloud Fabrication Drawing service offers an alternative method for generating fabrication drawings using artificial intelligence, which can minimize manual adjustments without disrupting existing workflows.

The software also introduces the AI-powered Trimble Assistant for Tekla, accessible both as an in-product extension and a web app. This assistant provides precise answers to user inquiries by leveraging the Tekla User Assistance knowledge base, which supports various Tekla products.

For enhanced collaboration, Tekla Structures 2025 integrates with Tekla PowerFab, allowing detailers to seamlessly submit packages for estimating, purchasing, and fabrication. This integration ensures real-time synchronization of material profiles, project statuses, and submittals, reducing the need for requests for information (RFIs) and manual updates. Fabricators benefit from reduced production waste and fewer last-minute expensive material purchases.

The software’s Live Collaboration service, currently in preview, enables stakeholders to work simultaneously within the same model using Trimble Connect or Tekla Structures, marking a shift from traditional drawing-based workflows.

Improvements in data exchange with the Trimble Connect platform and the introduction of the TrimBIM format allow for more efficient sharing of project-specific information. Additionally, Tekla Structures 2025 enhances field-to-office integration, offering better collaboration with project surveyors and clarity for as-built checks.

Detailing efficiency is further improved with usability and performance enhancements in property panes and drawing properties dialogs. The software also features advanced functionality for rebar detailing, supporting compliance with standards and a wider variety of structures.

Oxana Kyllönen, product manager at Trimble, emphasized the company’s commitment to connected workflows and the role of the Tekla portfolio in facilitating collaboration around enriched BIM information.
