Tekla Submittals - IFA (Issued for Approval)
This video showcases how to create a Steel Detailing Issued for Approval (IFA) package from Tekla Structures to Tekla PowerFab (formerly Tekla EPM)
Additional Notes
We had an AB1 Erection and Shop drawing with the same name PDF. Although we printed them into separate folders, the Tekla PowerFab export did not correctly include both the AB1 Erection and AB1 Shop drawing in the pfxt file in Tekla Structures 2022 SP10. This was fixed in Export to Tekla PowerFab 6.5.1 (Look for latest service packs of 2022 and 2023 for this fix)
When generating the Material list report, if Preliminary marks were used on the job, I should have typed PRELIM into the Title3 field of the report dialog box so the original Prelim marks set at ABM appear in the material list.
