2.5.7 Other construction geometry tools in Tekla Structures
The
“Add points at intersection of plane and line”
tool is adding auxiliary points at a plane, and is used while working
with a complex geometry.

Create a test model:
Create and execute “Copy special” of a column at the distance
of 1000 mm from the initial one as it is shown in the above picture.
Rotate the view in the way to see the top side of the column.
Make sure that the “Direct modification” tool is switched
off.

4.
5. Select the column’s endpoint (marked in red) with
6. Move the column by consecutively pressing the Ctrl+М
hotkey combination, setting the moving direction towards the copied column
endpoint, and specifying the distance value of
5000mm
( write in the value from the keyboard).

The result should be as it is presented below: columns intersected.

Enable the “Add points at intersection of plane and lines”tool.

Specify the plane by 3 (three) points using the following algorithm:
Make sure all operations are canceled or press the “ESC” key.
Indicate the origin point.
Indicate the first arbitrary point at the plane.
Indicate the second arbitrary point at the plane.
Indicate the first point of the line, intersecting the plane.
Indicate the second point of the line, intersecting the plane.
Repeat 5 and 6 until all the required lines are created.
To cancel the “Add point at intersection of plane and lines”
tool, press the “Esc” key.
As a result, we get marked up points at the intersections of the plane
