In this new version of the CYPE Architecture program, important improvements have been included regarding the types that affect all the program's building elements:
- All the elements in the job must belong to a type
In this new version, no new elements can be created without a type. To create any new element, users must create a type for this element from the types panel of the "Architecture" tab.
This improvement aims to ensure consistent communication with the other programs in the BIMserver.center Open BIM workflow, most of which use the building types as a base for development and analysis. - Type selection via a drop-down menu
Type selection is carried out via a new drop-down menu that provides the information needed to identify the type simply. In the drop-down menu, the basic information of the type can be found, including the name of the type, an image with the colour/texture, and extra data that help identify the type. - Copy type
The type creation and editing panel now has a "Copy " tool, allowing users to create a type from an existing type. - Automatically creating types for previous versions of jobs
If necessary, the program will automatically create types for all those elements that are not associated with a type or for those elements that have been assigned a type that does not correspond to the description of the element.
