As of version 2025.b, the size of the texts displayed on the screen in the work area can be edited.
The "View options" window includes the "Text size" section, where users can vary the size using a percentage, with 100% being the default size.

3D representation of elements
In version 2025.b, the drawing of 3D elements has been implemented.
Up until now, bars were drawn schematically as one-dimensional elements and shells as two-dimensional elements.
As of version 2025.b, users can choose how elements are drawn, schematically or in 3D. This selection can be made independently for each tag (in the new "Tags" dockable window from version 2025.b).
When the 3D representation is selected, the bar texts are not represented to improve the display.

Drawing preferences
As of version 2025.b, the "Drawing preferences" window, which was located in the "Job" menu, has become a dockable window with the name "Display options".
These options, which are very common when using the program, have been placed within the program's main dialogue box to provide users with direct access to them.

Tags. New name and functioning of the display layers
In previous versions, the program had display layers. With the "Layer management" tool, users could create layers and define their configuration, and each element could have one or more layers assigned to it.
As of version 2025.b, this tool is now called "Tags" and will be one of the dockable windows that users can keep on screen (more information on the new CYPE 3D version 2025.b dockable window environment). This window is divided into several sections: the list of tags, the list of categories and other drawing options.
While defining and analysing the model, users often need to show or hide certain elements and enable or disable elements that can be snapped (for deleting, editing, etc.). This implementation gives users direct access to this tool. One of its main advantages is being able to activate/deactivate the display and/or snapping of elements according to tags or categories with a click of the mouse.

Dockable window environment
As of version 2025.b, CYPE 3D features a new dockable window system that replaces the main screen user interface. As a result, users can now customise the workspace to suit their needs.
Dockable windows can be moved and resized. They can be either floating windows, pinned to a location within the application's main dialogue box, dragged outside of it, or even moved to another monitor.
More information on Dockable windows can be found in the link to the new feature from version 2023.e.

Updating all the applications
The "Updates" option has been implemented in the main CYPE Menu window. Thanks to this tool, multiple updates of installed applications can be carried out via the CYPE Menu.
When clicking on the “Updates” option, a window opens with a list of all installed applications. Select a set of them and, after clicking "Accept", the update process will start.
During this process, progress is displayed in the main CYPE Menu window indicating the current status of the update.
If an update is available for the CYPE Menu itself, it is shown below the list of applications to be updated. However, it is important to note that the update of the CYPE Menu is carried out on its own.
This new feature makes application maintenance easier, ensuring that the latest improvements are always available.

Selecting intumescent paints by manufacturer
In version 2025.a, intumescent paints from manufacturers' catalogues have been incorporated.
Under "General data > Fire resistance", when selecting "Check fire resistance" for steel sections, the type of protective coating can also be selected.
By selecting "Intumescent paint" the available catalogues can be used.
The thickness of intumescent paint required for the protection of each bar is obtained from the selected catalogue, based on the estimated critical temperature, the shape factor, the number of exposed sides and the type of structural element (column or beam).
From the "Bar" menu, under "Fire resistance" it is possible to assign the type of structural element, either a column or a beam, to each bar. By default, the program assigns the first option, which automatically determines whether it is a column or a beam, depending on the angle formed by the bar with the horizontal plane.
