CYPE Architecture

User furniture library

CYPE Architecture allows users to import furniture objects and create their own library. The library allows objects to be imported in ".ifc", ".obj" and ".step" formats.
In the "Furniture" tab, there is now a new "User objects" section with two options:

  • Library
    From here, users can import objects and create their own library that can be used in the current project or in other CYPE Architecture projects. The library also allows users to modify the properties of the imported object (type, scale factor, drawing both sides of the surface areas).

  • Insert
    This option is used to insert the objects available in the user library. When searching for objects to insert them, they are sorted according to the classification indicated in the library.

Display floor view templates in the 3D view

For 3D views defined within applications with a 3D working environment, the "Show selected templates in each floor view" option has been added. When activated, the templates visible in each of the floor views will be displayed in the 3D view in the dimension corresponding to these views.

Managing the visibility of templates in the view configuration window

As of version 2024.c, applications with a 3D working environment can manage the visibility of templates from the view configuration panel. For this purpose, the "DXF-DWG templates" tab has been added, where a list of all the templates imported into the project is displayed together with a checkbox to indicate which ones should be shown in the view.

Incorporation of manufacturers' libraries

Version 2024.c of the CYPE programs listed below incorporates product libraries from different manufacturers so that they can be downloaded and used in the BIM model generated by the program.

  • CYPE Architecture
  • CYPE Construction Systems
  • CYPELEC REBT
  • CYPELEC NF
  • CYPELEC PV Systems
  • CYPELUX
  • CYPELUX CTE
  • CYPELUX EN
  • CYPELUX SCE
  • CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems
  • CYPEFIRE
  • CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems

Installation modes (professional, campus, evaluation, temporary license)

All CYPE programs can be installed in their different versions (Professional Version, Evaluation Version, Campus Version, Temporary License). In previous versions, users could only choose the type of version to be installed from the classic CYPE menu.

As of version 2024.a, the selection of version types has been implemented in all CYPE programs on the BIMserver.center platform.

As of version 2024.d, this selection can be made during the installation of all CYPE programs, regardless of where they are downloaded.

Applications available in Romanian

As of version 2024.b, the following applications are also available in Romanian:

  • CYPE Architecture
  • Open BIM Analytical Model
  • Open BIM Model Checker
  • Open BIM Layout
  • Open BIM Site
  • Plugin Open BIM - Revit

Adjustments of vertical and horizontal elements

The "Adjust vertical elements" and "Adjust horizontal elements" tools have been implemented in the "Building elements" section. They allow users to change the adjustment (to the right, to the left or centred) of one or more horizontal or vertical elements with respect to their entry line.

These tools work with elements that allow for adjustment in their entry: walls, curtain walls, louvres, railings and floor slabs.

To change the setting of one or more elements, select the new setting to be used and then select the elements to be adjusted.

Slope formation by sketch surface area

As of version 2024.b, CYPE Architecture allows the "Slope formation" element to be entered by sketch surface area. To do this, first, select the surface area of the sketch and then select the point where the drain is located.

Improved column entry

As of version 2024.b, columns can be entered using two methods:

  • Columns: Individual entry
    Allows users to enter columns in the job one at a time by point or by sketch line. Entering with this method allows the columns to be rotated from an axis where the rotation of the column will be specified. This rotation is maintained for entering successive columns.

  • Columns: Multiple entry using sketch line
    Allows users to enter several columns at the same time using sketch lines. This can be done with rotation by selecting the rotation angle by means of two points.

Entering walls, curtain walls and louvres by sketch line

A new entry mode has been implemented for walls, curtain walls and louvres, allowing sketch lines to be selected as baselines.

It also allows users to select multiple sketch lines, speeding up the process of entering these elements.

Moving elements with the arrow keys

As of version 2024.b, applications with the "Element selection tool" (this tool was implemented in version 2021.e) have the ability to move the selected model components with the arrow keys on the keyboard. The elements shall be moved on the work plane of the active view in the direction of the arrow key. Whenever the arrow is pressed, the distance that is displaced is constant, so zooming will make it larger or smaller.

Improvements in the connection to BIMserver.center

Version 2024.b includes the following improvements and corrections to the connection of applications to the BIMserver.center platform:

  • After sharing a contribution, there is a delay before it becomes available in the BIMserver.center project. This could result in another application not having immediate access, even if the export was made from the same computer. Now applications can read contributions from the "File directory stored in local cache" before they are accessible in BIMserver.center.

  • It is now possible to export a contribution without an internet connection. When this occurs, a confirmation dialogue box will appear to inform users that if the contribution is exported, it cannot be shared in the BIMserver.center project. The contribution can be read in another application as long as it is on the same computer and linked to the same project. However, for the contribution to be available on the platform, users will need to "Share" it again with an internet connection.

  • The uploading process has been improved to allow larger files to be included.

  • An error that did not allow users to connect to the platform when the "AppData" system folder was not accessible has been fixed.

  • An error that showed the user as logged in when the session had already expired has been fixed.

  • The warning messages displayed when there is a problem in the communication with BIMserver.center have been improved.

  • Now, when creating a new project, the same default fields are used as in the BIMserver.center website.
