BuildSoft is not visible in Ribbon or App&Comp panel

On installing a new Tekla Structures version, you do not see the BuildSoft ribbon or the BuildSoft menu in the Applications & Components panel. Even after running the BIM Expert installer again.

This is a known issue for Tekla Structures 2018.

Solution

  1. Uninstall BIM Expert and its plugins completely
  2. Install BIM Expert and Tekla plugin again
Good to know

You can verify if the BIM Expert Tekla plugin is correctly installed for this TS version:

  1. Go to the installation folder of Tekla Structures. Normally this is C:\Program Files\Tekla Structures\{latest version}\nt\bin\plugins
  2. You should see a folder named ‘BuildSoft’

OR

  1. Open BIM Expert
  2. Go to File > Settings > Tekla Structures Analysis & Design
  3. The radiobutton for the TS version of your choice is available and not greyed out.
