## Install

```sh
agentstack add skill-impertio-studio-speckle-claude-skill-package-speckle-impl-tekla
```

Requires the [AgentStack CLI](https://agentstack.voostack.com/docs/cli). Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent.

## About

# speckle-impl-tekla

## Quick Reference

### Connector Capabilities

| Capability | Status | Notes |
|------------|--------|-------|
| Publish (Send) | Yes | All selectable model objects |
| Receive (Load) | **NO** | Not implemented -- publish-only connector |
| Supported Versions | 2023, 2024, 2025 | Windows only |
| Schema Type | TeklaObject | Extends DataObject |
| Geometry Format | Brep | Stored in `displayValue` |
| Proxy Types | RenderMaterial | Only proxy type used |

### Data Schema Hierarchy

```
Root Collection
  └── Tekla File
        └── Type (Beam, Column, Plate, etc.)
              └── TeklaObject
```

### Critical Warnings

**NEVER** attempt to receive/load data INTO Tekla Structures -- the Tekla connector is **PUBLISH-ONLY**. There is NO receive functionality. If a workflow requires loading data into Tekla, use an intermediate format (IFC) or request the feature via the Speckle Community Forum.

**NEVER** expect assemblies in the published output -- Tekla assemblies are NOT published to Speckle. Only individual parts (beams, plates, bolts, etc.) are converted.

**NEVER** publish from a Tekla drawing view -- the connector ONLY works from the model viewport. Attempting to publish from drawing views ALWAYS fails. ALWAYS switch to the model viewport before publishing.

**NEVER** expect drawing layouts, title blocks, or annotation data in the Speckle output -- drawings are NOT part of the published data.

**NEVER** expect numbering series or sequence settings to appear in the published model -- these Tekla-specific organizational constructs are NOT converted.

**NEVER** expect nested TeklaObjects -- TeklaObjects do NOT contain child TeklaObjects. Each structural element is a flat, independent object in the hierarchy.

## Publish-Only Architecture

The Tekla connector is fundamentally different from bidirectional connectors (Revit, Rhino, Blender). It supports ONE direction only:

```
Tekla Structures  ----[publish]---->  Speckle Server
                   Speckle Server --> Federated View (Viewer/Power BI)
Tekla Model --------/                   \--> NEVER back to Tekla
```

### Common Federation Patterns

| Pattern | Tekla Role | Other Tools |
|---------|-----------|-------------|
| Structural coordination | Publisher of steel/concrete model | Revit (architectural), Rhino (facade) |
| Clash detection | Publisher of structural elements | All other disciplines in viewer |
| Progress tracking | Publisher of as-built model | Speckle Automate for analysis |
| Design review | Publisher of structural model | Viewer for stakeholder review |

---

## Proxy Architecture

The Tekla connector uses ONLY one proxy type:

### RenderMaterial Proxy

- Material appearance data stored at Root Collection level
- Referenced by TeklaObjects via `applicationId`
- Contains color, opacity properties
- Does NOT contain textures (Speckle NEVER transfers textures)

---

## Platform Constraints

| Constraint | Detail |
|------------|--------|
| Operating system | Windows only |
| Tekla versions | 2023, 2024, 2025 |
| Viewport requirement | Model viewport only (not drawing views) |
| Data direction | Publish only |
| Geometry type | Brep (boundary representation) |
| Units | Follows Tekla model units (typically mm) |
