In the 2021.a version, the integration of “CYPE 3D” has been implemented in the Open BIM workflow via the BIMserver.center platform. This integration brings about the creation of “StruBIM CYPE 3D”, a program which is the version of “CYPE 3D” that can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform.
The new tools that are now available in “CYPE 3D” to connect to BIM projects of the BIMserver.center platform and all the tools of this program are also available for “StruBIM CYPE 3D”.
The differences between “CYPE 3D” and “StruBIM CYPE 3D” lie only in the need to have to connect to the BIMserver.center platform and in the management of the user licenses and modules of the programs. These differences are explained in more detail in the “StruBIM CYPE 3D” section of the new programs that have been included in the 2021.a version, which are shown at the beginning of this webpage.
A section has been included in the start panel of both programs to connect as a BIMserver.center user. For CYPE 3D, this connection is optional upon entering the program but necessary if users wish to link to a BIM project that is located in BIMserver.center. For “StruBIM CYPE 3D”, the connection to the platform is obligatory.
The new “BIMserver.center” menu has been implemented, which includes different tools to manage this connection.
- Link
This tool can connect a project to a new or existing project. When a project is linked to a BIMserver.center project, the results can be exported, and the 3D views of the other technical specialties can be imported, which will be shown in the 3D view. - Unlink
This tool can unlink a project from a BIMserver.center project. - Consult
This tool allows users to consult the status of the IFC files that are present in the BIM model, giving them the option to update the view of these links. It must be noted that the CYPE 3D model does not undergo any changes during the update of the links. This tool is available when the project has been linked to a BIM project. - Export
This tool allows users to export the structure in IFC format to the BIM project, as well as the GLTF file with the 3D view.
