For the custom component developer, creating component logic with Grasshopper can be more straightforward especially when it comes to geometry. The benefit for the Tekla user is that using the new Grasshopper Component they do not need to know visual scripting to use a Grasshopper definition. The logic is provided by any Grasshopper definition that then creates objects in Tekla Structures. Now, new custom components can also be created with Grasshopper. The coordinate system for connections, details and seams is explained in the Tekla Structures help, in the part about the position type of custom components. These types are more specialized and restricted by the input values than the ones derived from Plugin Base. Until now, new custom component types have been created by anyone using the Tekla Open API or using the custom component editor within Tekla. The Custom Part Base class is a base class for defining custom parts. Tekla's custom component is an intelligent object type in Tekla Structures that can be used for connections, reinforcement and other details as well as for larger parametric objects like sandwich walls or staircases. Furthermore, this provides developers a powerful new way of creating logic for custom components in Tekla using visual scripting. This brings Tekla users the benefit of visual scripting in Grasshopper without each Tekla user needing to be exposed to the visual script itself. The new Grasshopper Component in Tekla Structures uses the Rhino.Inside technology.
