2.8.6 The “Move Special - To another object” tool in Tekla Structures
This tool allows you to move an object entity from one object to another.
In other words, an object is moved from one local system of coordinates
to another with the respect to the axial distances.

Create new beams between the axes 1 - 2 and A - B.
Tekla Structures v21.1
Tekla Structures v2021
Select the beams and move them from a column to another, by using the
“Move Special - To another object” tool, thus indicating not
the coordinates, but the objects determined by their local coordinates.
The algorithm for using the “ Move Special- To another object”
Make sure all operations are canceled or press the Esc key.
Select the objects to be moved.
Enable the “Move Special - To another object” tool.
Select the object from which the beams will get moved (column located
at the intersection of axes A and 1).
Select the object to which the beams will get moved (any column at the
work plane).
To disable the “Move Special - To another object” tool, press
the Esc key.
