Tekla has a limit of 21 characters for a part name. If you use a Smart 3D naming rule that creates a part name that is longer than 21 characters, Tekla truncates that name during the CIMSteel import into Tekla. This truncation can cause all your member parts to have the same name in Tekla because Smart 3D naming rules have the unique index at the end of the name.
