![]() You might want to look at some other solid modelling software. Tekla originated as XSteel, and when Trimble acquired this they started adding features to detail concrete and rebar. Out of the box, this software is geared toward structural steel. How standardized are your parts? I have seen some detailing architectural components with Tekla on the user forum (a window company somewhere in EU doing awesome modelling), but it takes a lot of time and patience to create the tools you need. I looked at an example of precast detailing in Revit, and could only imagine how much time it took on their part to create the various families. You can find a many different detailing examples in Revit, but when you dig into the "how" part, you will find the user had to create a lot of their own families to make it work. Revit is a master of creating lots of pretty pictures while allowing the team to use a lot of traditional drafting setups in the background. ![]() The downside of tekla is the licensing cost and the fact that most archs seem to use Revit. Tekla is much better in my view as you can create custom components that automatically create a lot of the details, and allow the user to change many different aspects. You can use Tekla for structural drawings as well as detailing.
