I don't currently use Tekla Structural Designer but, I used it and learned it for the first time in 2014. I've always enjoyed learning new design software especially where I was able to work in 3D. It was fun and challenging to learn. We used it in conjunction with Revit while working for a contruction management company in the design and building process of the American Dream Mall. I enjoyed using it and learning it for the little bit of time I was able to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I disliked is that it was challenging compared to others that I already knew and I wish I had a formal teacher teaching me how to use it instead of a fellow co-worker trying to teach the rest of us how to use it who had no experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have encountered various issues when using Tekla Structures. Here are a few examples:

"Fit work area to entire model" and "redraw" commands are so near that one can accidentally click either one. (model issue)

Tack weld length sometimes is not accurate on weld report (report issue)

Bend profile disappears when applying cut on it (model issue)

You cannot add a point to a revision cloud on a drawing (drawing issue)

Tekla does not support continuous breakline (drawing issue)

You cannot split plates in a model, but the "CounterSplit" component can help. This can be installed as a plugin.

When errors occur, you must restart Tekla to restore things back to normal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The drawback of TSD is that this software is like a robot that quickly provides final results, so even laypeople can use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My companies software is not an out of the box type of program, however, I assume it is still close. The drawing and modeling is easier since the model components can be imported, saving overall drawing/modeling time. It can take a bit to get used to the shortcuts and tools, but overall, I wouldn't want to use any other program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the tools can be hard to navigate, and sometimes you have to dig to find the right one. Also, there is not usually a description on how to use new tools so it can take some time to figured out things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
