This video shows how to flex your manual modeling muscles in Tekla Structures by modeling in an asymmetrical or offset base plate and then wrapping it up as a custom component detail. I then demonstrate how you can do a design change and edit the custom component and it will update all of the base plates in the model at the same time.
