As occurs in CYPEFIRE CTE, the Edit section of the bar menu displays its elements in a floating menu which can be viewed in three different ways:
- Horizontal with large icons
- Vertical with large icons
- Vertical with small icons and description texts of the tools
The floating menu can be pinned on screen so that the options remain visible when others are being used. It can also be placed to the side of the workspace so it resembles a toolbar.
This type of menu is the same as that which was implemented in the 2017.j version for CYPETHERM HVAC and StruBIM foundations (see the Floating tools section of the new features of the 2017.j version) and in this version (2017.k) for IFC Builder.
Additionally, the following tools have been added to this menu for CYPEFIRE Sprinklers:
Assign
This tool, already known in other programs, allows users to quickly assign the same properties to different sprinklers or pipes. Once the option has been selected, users click on the element to which its properties are to be copied and an editing panel appears with its data. After the panel has been accepted (in which users can modify data), another element or other elements can be selected (one by one or using a selection window). Once all the elements to which the properties of the panel are to be copied have been selected, a right click on the mouse button confirms the action to copy the properties.
Measure lengths on plan
Allows users to quickly make on-screen measurements.
Move tag
When an installation consists of a complicated arrangement of pipes, it may be difficult to view references, diameters and nodes clearly. Now, these tags can be displaced by users to obtain clear and more effective plans.
Show/hide tag
For the same reason as indicated for the option above, there may be irrelevant information hindering a correct view of the drawing, hence users can also show or hide tags.
Tag line
If, having displaced a tag, it is difficult to see to which element it refers, it is possible to draw an auxiliary line using this tool which links the tag directly to the reference element.
Insert text
Allows users to introduce text on the interface to provide further information on the installation. This text can be printed in the drawings.
