Join 3600+ Engineers and learn from a step-by-step roadmap built for real Tekla work.
Your current typical workday:
Year after year, you wait for new Tekla Structures updates, hoping for improvements that never quite fit your projects' unique demands. Meanwhile…
One model change can create hours of extra work, because connections, drawings, dimensions, and numbering all need to be fixed again.
The same repetitive Tekla clicks keep stealing your time and keeping you in the office late just to meet deadlines.
Your projects are unique, your company standards are unique, but the tools inside Tekla are often too generic for the way you really work.
Tekla API has a basilisk effect on you. You look at it and you freeze… so you go back to manual workarounds and endless clicking.
Is this what a self-respecting designer should be occupied with? I think NOT.
It’s time for the wind of change…
Gain freedom to do everything you want in Tekla Structures... and nothing you don't.

Sebastian Lindholm
Advanced BIM Consultant at Trimble
“Amazing effort by Kris for putting together this compelling and comprehensive training package! I'm pleased to see that as always, the content is delivered in his trademark approachable style. Moving from traditional CAD and 3D modelling into the world of parametric design can be challenging, thus this training serves as a much needed missing piece for taking Grasshopper into use in your Tekla projects.”
Sten Tuudak
Concrete Technical Manager at Trimble Tekla | Teacher at Tsacademy.courses
"Kris knows this topic. He knows how Rhino works, how Grasshopper Link works with Tekla and how Tekla works. If you look at Kris' background, then you can see he has a lot of practical knowledge also and he's sharing this practical knowledge with you. These two are a magical combo!”
Øystein Ulvestad
BIM developer at ARUP
“It's an easy way to get from the zero level of knowledge that I was on, to a level where I could work independently in quite a short time and in a very structured way that I found intuitive and fun to learn. So I would highly recommend this course to anyone who's curious about parametric design and wants to get up to quite a high level”
What will you learn?
Prepare for changes in advance
Model changes are where Tekla users lose the most time. Instead of fixing beams, connections, rebar, views, and dimensions by hand, you run your script and update everything in minutes, not hours.
Automate drawings and revisions
Rather than manually placing sections, dimensions, and marks, Grasshopper can generate and update drawings, letting you focus on engineering instead of clicks. Students who used it went from 5 hours of drawing work down to 5 minutes.
Build automated quality checks
Build automated quality checks that review your model 24/7 and help you cut model errors by up to 90% before they reach delivery.
Automate repetitive modelling
Automate rebars, tendons, welds, bolts, and complex geometry with reusable scripts that save time now, can be used on future projects, and can save 3 to 4 weeks during project execution.
Control model data, UDAs, and exports
Control model data, User Defined Attributes, and exports in one workflow, so you can keep your models clean, your deliveries consistent, and click Export once, not a 100 times.
If you're looking for a complete guide on how to change your work in Tekla Structures and transform this software in the way you’ve always wanted, this is the training for you.

What are the payment methods? Will I receive an invoice?
If you’re making a one-time payment (paying the whole sum at once), you can pay for the training using a credit/debit card or through direct bank transfer. If you’re paying in installments, the only possibility is payment by card. Please choose the option that is most suitable for you.
If your company is paying on your behalf, please choose the “Pay by invoice” method in the checkout and fill out all the required details so that I can issue the invoice for your company. After registration, you will receive all the necessary information to make a direct payment into our bank account.
Are you serious about this guarantee?
Absolutely. My primary goal is for you to learn Grasshopper in Tekla and implement it in your day-to-day work. If you decide that you are not getting the value you expected from this course or would like a refund for any reason during the first 30 days after purchase, I will fully refund you.
You will receive the amount you paid back into your account, no questions asked. Ok, maybe one question asked: what would make my course better? But you don’t have to answer it. The refund is still unconditional.
Is there a support group?
Yes! We’re using a Discord group for our online community. Access to the group will be available for one year, limited to students only, and moderated to keep the discussions focused and helpful. There will be no trolls and no trolling. We’ve already got 200+ engineers and architects with us – and we’re just getting started. I am confident that great discussions will take place there every day!
I will be an active member of the group and will help students and answer questions along with the community. I will also organize Live Q&A sessions, extra webinars and interviews with Tekla Super Users during the training course through this group.
How do I convince my manager to buy this training for me?
Grasshopper in Tekla Training is an obvious advantage for you as an engineer but also for your company. You can always try to get reimbursement for the training!
If you work as an engineer, consultant, or architect and you aren’t sure how to get your employer to fund this training, I created a One Pager for your manager that will help persuade them to purchase the training for you.
I am already using Grasshopper at my work with Tekla. Will I still learn something from this training?
Absolutely!
Even if you’re an advanced user, I would recommend that you go through all the materials. I promise that you will learn new things.
Many advanced Grasshopper users working with Tekla went through this training and still learned A LOT. In GTT, I go through all the tips and tricks necessary to become an expert. (I spent last four years summarizing all of them). I am 100% sure that even if you have used Grasshopper in Tekla, you will find something new in this training.
Moreover, I also go over how to build well-structured and straightforward scripts. Therefore, you can collaborate with other Tekla users.
Grasshopper in Tekla Training is a well-structured course. If you still don’t know how to create custom tools and automate tasks in Tekla, then please join me in GTT.
Remember that if it turns out that this training is not advanced enough for you, you can always request a refund within the first 30 days and get 100% of your money back.
Can I buy multiple licenses for my team or group in a single purchase?
This information is especially relevant for companies. YES, you can buy multiple licenses by placing one group order. You can do this by just increasing the number of items in your cart. I will contact you after the payment has been confirmed.
Don’t forget! For every 7 purchases, you will automatically get one for free. If you buy 14, you will get two and so on. After receving the order, I will send you all information on how users can access the learning platform.
How much time will it take to go through the training?
The course consists of 10 modules plus additional bonus content. Total video length is over 42 hours, with the longest video lasting just over 30 minutes.
However, remember that you don’t need to start the course right away – you have a year-long access to all the materials available on the platform, as well as to the group on Discord. This allows you to work through the training at your own pace.
Do I need a license for Rhino/Grasshopper?
Grasshopper comes together with the installation of Rhino. Rhino 8 Evaluation can be downloaded from the official Rhino website for free. After registration, you will receive a ready-to-use 90-day full license. GTT is a 10-week program, and this license is enough to get you through all the course modules with an extra time after you have finished the training.
If you don’t have access to Tekla, it is not a problem. You can obtain the educational version of Tekla Structures for 365 days. The training is structured so that you can go through all the materials and complete all case studies using the educational version.
If you have any license problems, please contact me directly and for sure we can help with it: kris@learngrasshopper.com
Do you offer a certificate of completion?
Yep! Anyone who completes the training will get a certificate in a pdf format with their name on it, showing that they’ve completed the Grasshopper in Tekla Training.
