A new function, "Search by reference", has been implemented in the "Edit" group of the tool bar in the "Architecture" tab. This function allows searching elements by reference, thus easily identifying them. It is possible to locate only the references exactly as written (Only whole word) or all of the references that contain the text that is written.
The new "Show/hide information" function is found in the "View" section of the left-side panel of the program. If enabled, it allows the display of any element’s information when the cursor is placed above it.
In the panel, information related to reference can be seen, such as the level, type, layer and the properties of each element.
The "Tag" function in the "BIM Model" panel allows the organization of tags in groups. In this way element tags can be ordered appropriately (for example, according to applicable standards).
Additionally, the program allows local exporting and importing of groups of tags so that they can be used in other CYPE Architecture projects.
The program also includes a tag library for Spain. This library allows the importing of groups of tags created according to the Spanish code.
In the "BIM Model" group of the upper menu of the "Architecture" tab, the new "Architectural element types" function can be found. With this it's possible to create construction element types that can be later loaded during modelling, thus saving time introducing the job elements.
Project types can be created for each of the following elements:
The project types can be saved locally to be loaded later into another CYPE Architecture project.
The possibility of choosing a fixed height for louvres and curtain walls is included, which is especially useful when drawing them in floor view.
As of the 2021.e version, the height of the drain can be chosen in the slope formation.
A rotate button has been included in the Architecture tab. This rotation is carried out on the XZ axis of the workplane.
The introduction of walls and floor slabs is made easier. Now it is possible to view the plan where the wall and floor slab are being introduced.
The "Measure area" function in the "Edit" panel warns the user, by drawing the measurements in red, that it is not possible to measure the drawn area. The colour changes to pink when the measurement can be carried out correctly. It also allows users to dimension the perimeter of the surface being measured.
As of the 2021.e version, CYPE Architecture includes in the IFC file of the BIMserver.center project the following quantities sets for their corresponding IFC entities:
These new quantities can be used in the Open BIM Quantities application to generate the bill of quantities of the architectural model.
In the "Openings" section of the architecture tab a "glazed surface" function has been implemented, which allows a glass surface that is not strictly square or circular to be constructed and then read in analysis programs. Two ways of creating glazed surfaces have been included: "By points" and "Per surface area".
The "Spaces" section of the toolbar has been expanded and has new tools: "Space by wall and floor slab", "Detect spaces on plan" and "Adjust space". These new features provide greater agility when defining the spaces of the building.
