The complete library of constructive systems can now be imported and exported.

For this purpose, the "Import" and "Export" buttons have been added to the right-hand side of the "Construction systems" window. This means that it is no longer necessary to export each category of construction systems separately in order to reuse them in other projects.

"Defences" have been added to the construction systems available in the application.

This new category is located in the "Walls and partitions" group of the construction system library.

The result of the thermal transmittance calculated from the definition of the layers of a construction system has been added to the "Construction systems" window. This value appears in the caption of the layer configuration in walls and floor slabs.

CYPE Construction Systems now displays a warning about the components of the 3D model to which a construction system can be assigned when this action has not yet been performed. This makes it easier to detect elements that have not yet been defined.

As of version 2024.d, users can now enter the "Conductivity" of a layer associated with a construction system defined by layers instead of the "Thermal resistance".

Unlike previous versions where the "Thermal resistance" value could be calculated from the "Conductivity", now the "Conductivity" can be stored directly as layer data.

In version 2024.d, "Open BIM Construction Systems" is now called "CYPE Construction Systems".

As of version 2024.c, the types of construction systems are sorted into a tree diagram and are grouped in the following sections:

  • Walls and partitions
  • Floor slabs
  • Openings
  • Stairs and ramps
  • Thermal breaks

The following changes have been made to the definition of windows, doors and skylights: 

  • The "Height" and "Width" fields have been added.

  • In windows and skylights, the characteristics for "Glazing", "Fittings" and "Accessories" have been separated into tabs. The technical data associated with the glazing and fittings can be found within these tabs.

  • Manufacturer products can now be selected when defining the fittings.

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.

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.
