Manufacturers’ library
CYPE Architecture incorporates product libraries from different manufacturers so that they can be downloaded for use in the BIM model generated by the program.
Manufacturers’ library: "Architecture" tab
Within the "Catalogues" section of the "Architecture" tab, the "Carpentry" and "Finishes" catalogues are available for download.
After they are downloaded, they can be updated or deleted, as required, in order to have the desired catalogues available for each project.
Once they have been downloaded, they can be used in their corresponding sections.
Carpentry
The downloaded catalogues of carpentry manufacturers will be available during the creation or editing of a window.
To access the carpentry catalogues, select the "Types" section, and in this tab, choose "Windows".
From the top toolbar, windows can be added or edited. In the "Edit" pop-up panel, clicking on the "Catalogues" icon opens the "Carpentry" window. Here, a model can be chosen from the previously downloaded manufacturers' catalogues.
Finishes
Downloaded catalogues of finishes manufacturers will be available in the "Colours" section.
To access the finishes catalogue, in the "Colours" tab, select the "Manufacturers" icon and a window called "Finishes" will appear, where a model can be chosen from the previously downloaded manufacturers' catalogues.
Finishes work in the same way as textures. To display them in the 3D model, activate the "Show/hide textures" function, located in the "Own elements" toolbar.
