This document discusses Tekla Account, Tekla Online Services, and Tekla Model Sharing. It describes that users need an invitation from their company's Administrator to get an account. It outlines resources available through the Tekla Account like support materials, discussion forums, and training exercises. Tekla Warehouse is described as an online BIM library for Tekla Structures add-ons. Tekla Model Sharing allows collaborating teams to work simultaneously on the same model across different locations with updates syncing through the cloud. It provides more flexibility than multi-user mode and avoids conflicts during collaboration. Examples of large projects using Tekla Model Sharing successfully are mentioned.
3. Do I have an Tekla account?
YES if you have received an invitation and have registered
NO but you can when your company’s Account Administrator
invites you (and pay maintenance)
