We believe that for safety, all scaffolding should be engineered, which is why ScaffPlan has inbuilt calculations that engineers your scaffolding as you are designing your model — no extra charge.

Colour-coded pass or fail criteria is instantly shown so you can easily identify what needs to change, and make updates to your model before sending it off with the automated reports to get your engineering certificate.

ScaffPlan and Tekla Structures runs on the following operating systems:

• 64-bit Windows 10
• 64-bit Windows 8.1

Other operating systems are not supported.

*Rendering can use DirectX or OpenGL technology. The DirectX rendering mode is better optimized for modern graphics cards, and you should prioritize DirectX performance when deciding on a graphics card. We do not  test all cards on the market, so we have chosen cards based on the NVIDIA graphics processor.

**A 3-button wheel mouse is required (to  finish commands, to zoom, pan, and rotate). ScaffPlan Designer + Tekla Structures supports 3D mice provided by 3Dconnexion to be used in tandem with a regular mouse - enhancing zooming, panning and rotating. To use a 3D mouse, install the 3Dconnexion Device extension from Tekla Warehouse.

Set your graphics card to use a high-performance profile for ScaffPlan and Tekla Structures.

How to to set up the graphics card:

Check and assign the profile in the configuration tool provided by the graphics card manufacturer, or in Windows settings in recent Windows versions. This is especially important on laptop computers, which may be configured to emphasize power saving. Many systems default ScaffPlan + Tekla Structures to use a less powerful integrated graphics processor instead of the more powerful dedicated graphics card unless you change the setting.

Other computer settings affecting modelling:

• Your computer uses the standard drivers provided by the graphics card manufacturer also when drawing the 3D view in ScaffPlan + Tekla Structures. We recommend that you regularly check for updates to the graphics drivers from the manufacturer's website.

  Before upgrading the drivers on a large number of computers, test the driver version first to make sure the update does not introduce problems in the 3D views in ScaffPlan + Tekla Structures.

• ScaffPlan + Tekla Structures includes two alternative rendering engines: one based on OpenGL and one based on DirectX. Microsoft Windows includes support for both technologies.

ScaffPlan is an advanced piece of modelling software, it will need to be downloaded on your PC or laptop.

Once your scaffold plans are ready to share, data including ScaffPlan's instant model sharing, task assignment, QR codes, reports and more are all compatible with mobiles.
