In a post a few weeks back I was griping about the limitations of Tekla. Ideally I’d want to resort to enums to get access to a particular property. But Tekla forces you to use strings directly to query for the property you are after. This is a minor inconvenience. So I devoted three hours of my life in the service of the public to ensure that nobody suffers anymore.

You now have Intellisense to help you retrieve the property you are after.

The entire library is contained here.

You will find them contained in the TeklaProperties.cs file.

Examples Some typical use cases:

Just download it and use it.

Notes: I extracted all the properties and I had to edit some of them where illegal symbols were used. Characters such as ‘#’ and ‘.’ and as well as ‘(‘ and ‘)’ have been converted to simple underscores where property names are concerned. It shouldn’t make a difference to you.

My friends, enjoy!
