CYPE Architecture

As of version 2022.e, the applications connected to BIMserver.center have an information bar displaying the link status to the project on the platform. This bar can be found at the top right of the application window and is divided into the following sections:

  • User
    Displays the BIMserver.center user name that has been entered to access the application. If a connection has not been established with a platform user, the text "Connect" will appear. If the user clicks on this button, they will be able to type in their name and password, as well as sign out in order to access with other login credentials.
  • Project
    Displays the name of the BIMserver.center project linked to the job, if such a link exists. By clicking on this button, we can obtain additional information about the project, such as its description, project type or view options. If any warnings or errors occur when uploading or downloading contributions to the project, a list will be displayed in this panel with all the incidents detected. Furthermore, the project icon in the bar will change to a warning symbol.
  • Status
  • Displays the status of the connection with BIMserver.center.
  • When a contribution is being uploaded or downloaded, the text of the message changes and the progress of the action is displayed.
  • If an older version of the BIMserver.center Sync synchronisation tool is running, the message "Incompatible version of the BIMserver.center synchroniser" is displayed.
  • The synchroniser can be downloaded and installed free of charge from the BIMserver.center platform or installed during the installation process of the applications. The latest version of the tool is required for applications to be able to display status messages.

Version 2022.h of CYPE software is a closing version of version 2022.

In addition to the new features and improvements that are explicitly outlined in each version of CYPE software, process optimisation involving internal improvements to our programs is normally included. All programs are systematically checked during each revision, and improvements are made to improve their performance. As a result, we advise our users to always update their version to the latest revision (in this case, v.2022), regardless of whether or not new features in version 2022.h are explicitly mentioned for the program they are using, the country for which they are using CYPE software or the language in which it is installed.

The "Rotation" option has been included for curved ramps and spiral stairs.

With this option, the rotation direction of these elements can be changed (to the left or to the right) during both introduction and editing.

Another category has been added to the railings: “Horizontal”.

Furthermore, the design of railings and stair railings has been unified. In both features, there are now three categories: "Horizontal", "Vertical" and "Handrail".

The options for exporting 3D views to 2D DXF and DWG formats have been implemented. The dialogue box containing these new options can be accessed from the "Print the current view" button, in the top bar of the 3D views.

If a scene has defined cutting planes or volumes, filling polygons can be generated on the elements that are cut by these planes or volumes.

This can be carried out by activating the "Generate polygons with infill in the cuts by planes" option.

As of version 2022.g, applications that can be linked to a project on the BIMserver.center platform allow the user account to be changed during the project selection process. To do this, a "Disconnect" button has been added below the user's name and image in the "Project selection" panel. When disconnecting the active account, the credentials of the account (email and password) that the user wishes to work with can be entered.

In applications with a 3D working environment, a new tool has been added to the configuration bar which is displayed when adding or editing the position of an element. This option appears as a button on the right-hand side of the "Displacement" field and allows users to define displacements associated with each view of the project. By clicking on this button, a list is displayed where the displacement values can be entered together with an associated reference in order to easily identify them. When the panel is accepted, the selected value is automatically assigned to the "Displacement" field.

The “Roof tiles” feature includes the following improvements:

  • Roof tiles by surface area
    To draw the roof tiles, by surface area must be selected, followed by the direction of the roof tiles by clicking on two points on the screen.

  • Openings in the roof tiles
    The “Openings” tool can be used to create openings in the roof tiles.

A new feature has been implemented to export only visible elements to the linked BIM project in the BIMserver.center platform.

This feature only exports the elements that are visible in the program when the export is carried out. Any elements that are hidden using any of the modes available in CYPE Architecture will not be exported to the BIM project, providing greater flexibility when sharing models.

This export (only visible elements) allows users to draw more than one model on the same job and export what is required to the BIM project without the need to delete anything, thus transforming the CYPE Architecture interface into a workspace for design.

For example, in a refurbishment project, the same CYPE Architecture job could include a model of the building that represents its state before the refurbishment and another model that represents its state once it has been refurbished. With the feature for exporting only visible elements, both models could be shared separately on the BIMserver.center platform. Even if some of the models or some of the elements of a model have not been drawn in their position in CYPE Architecture, they can be exported to the BIMserver.center platform in the desired position if the geolocation is modified locally when exporting them.

In version 2022.g of CYPE Architecture, the "Isolate selection" tool has been implemented and is located in the "View" panel of the left sidebar. This tool can be used to select a series of elements so that they remain visible, while those not selected will remain hidden.

Version 2022.g includes a new tool for dividing walls and floor slabs that have already been entered in the model. The way this tool operates depends on the type of element being divided:

  • For walls
    They are divided by a line defined by two points.

  • For floor slabs
    They are divided by a polyline defined by as many points as the user desires.

In version 2022.c, the behaviour of object snap tracking in applications that have a drawing space and include this tool has been modified.

The "Select tracking points automatically" option is now available in the "Object snap" options panel. When checked, the application will act the same way as it did before 2022.b new feature "Improvement in object snaps". This means that the alignment paths generated by all object snap points (endpoint, midpoint, intersection, etc.) visible in the drawing space will be shown.

Activating this new option may be appropriate when working with a limited number of object snaps in the project view as it prevents having to select the points beforehand. However, if there is a large number of trackable objects it is advisable to select the tracking points manually as otherwise, it will be difficult to correctly identify the alignment paths.
