Tekla Structures

You can click the Selection toolbar buttons to toggle template objects to be selectable or not. This is useful, for example, if you need to change all of the line objects to a different color or width.

Do the following:

Click the toolbar buttons of the template objects you want to exclude.
If you make an area selection, for example, and have excluded value fields, everything else will be selected.
Modify the selected objects as needed.
If you select objects of different types (i.e. lines and value fields), you cannot modify the properties of both at the same time.
Save the changes.

Toggle the buttons on and off as needed in order to modify template objects.
