How to convert Tekla Structures (Tekla) to XAML-3D (.xaml)?


PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

     

Tekla Structures

Tekla Structures is 'Building Information Modeling' (BIM) software that enables the creation and management of accurately detailed, highly constructable 3D structural models regardless of material or structural complexity. Tekla models can be used to cover the entire building process from conceptual design to fabrication, erection and construction management. Tekla 'Xsteel' is included within the Tekla Structures package.

3D export file formats of Tekla Structures & Xsteel which are supported by Okino software are: Microstation DGN, DXF/DWG, IFC, IGES, SketchUp and STEP AP214.

     

XAML-3D

XAML-3D is a general XML-based 3D file format created by Microsoft in the mid 2000's for use in its Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Silverlight, Workflow Foundation (WF), Windows UI Library (WinUI) and Universal Windows Platform (UWP).

Microsoft came to Okino to request that we support XAML-3D as (basically) no other company did so. As such, we invested a considerable amount of time in writing our custom XAML-3D exporter and a stand-alone XAML-3D file viewer. XAML-3D never came to have much industry traction.
