As of version 2024.e, in addition to controlling the visibility of the own elements of the health and safety model, in CYPE Health and safety users can also control the visibility and snapping of imported building elements.
The "Own elements" section of the category tree also includes the categories of the building elements.
CYPE apps have keyboard shortcuts common to all programs. In versions before 2024.e, each program displayed the keyboard shortcuts for each app via the "Search and activation of commands and options" in the top left-hand corner of the programs.
As of version 2024.e, the "Shortcuts for all applications" tab has been implemented in the dialogue box displayed when selecting this option and it shows all the keyboard shortcuts common to CYPE apps.
In version 2024.d, the following CYPE applications have been renamed:
| Previous name | New name |
|---|---|
| CYPEHVAC Hydronics | CYPEHVAC |
| CYPELEC Switchboard | Open BIM Switchboard |
| Open BIM Construction Systems | CYPE Construction Systems |
| Open BIM Cost Estimator | CYPE Cost Estimator |
| Open BIM Gas Supply | CYPE Gas Supply |
| Open BIM Health and safety | CYPE Health and safety |
| Open BIM Lightning | CYPE Lightning |
| Open BIM Sewerage | CYPE Sewerage |
| Open BIM Water Supply | CYPE Water Supply |
In version 2024.d, a new element type has been implemented: overhead coverings.
In "Elements library >Types of canopies" users can find the canopy library where each type of canopy can be defined.
Canopies consist of a horizontal and a sloped span, with a corrugated metal sheet placed on equidistant supports.
Up until version 2024.d, the program had a list of floor plans on which the protection elements were entered, and the work environment was exclusively in 2D. As of version 2024.d, the program has a 3D work environment.
This new work environment allows elements to be entered using any element of the project's contributions as a reference.
Phases
The program imports the building elements so that, as well as being able to assign phases to the protection elements, phases can also be assigned to the building elements. The building elements, although not specific to the program, are necessary as a context for documenting the layout of the collective protection elements.
An improvement of this new environment is also the view by phases, where the display of each phase can be activated or deactivated.
Plans
Version 2024.d also includes a new tool for creating drawings as an improvement. From the "Drawings" button on the top button bar you can access the particular working environment for drawings, this environment is the same as the one in Open BIM Layout, StruBIM Steel or CYPE Connect.
In this panel, users can add sheets and, in each sheet, scenes or views can be added from the 3D model of the project. The program offers one predefined view for each view of the model, one for each phase and one for each informative sign.
In version 2024.d, "Open BIM Health and safety" is now called "CYPE Health and safety".
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.
Version 2024.b includes the following improvements and corrections to the connection of applications to the BIMserver.center platform:
From the BIMserver.center project information window (displayed by clicking on the project name shown in the project information bar - upper right part of the application window) you can access the project page of the BIMserver.center platform via a link that has been inserted in the text indicating the project name.
Likewise, from the information window about the project contributions ("Contributions" option in the project information window), users can access the page of each contribution in the BIMserver.center platform. These links are inserted in the texts indicating the name of each contribution.
The status information bar of the BIMserver.center project is located at the top right of the window of the programs included in the Open BIM workflow. This bar has been available in the applications since version 2022.e and shows a warning icon when there is a problem with the connection to the project, as well as other things. Now, in version 2024.b, users can obtain more information about the warning by hovering the mouse cursor over the icon.
As of version 2024.b, users can create projects associated with a "BIMserver.center Corporate" account from all CYPE applications included in the Open BIM workflow. To do this, the "Owner" field has been added to the window for creating a new project. This is a drop-down menu that includes, as one of the available options, the logged-in BIMserver.center user name along with the "BIMserver.center Corporate" accounts to which it has access. When selecting the user name as the owner, the project will be associated with this personal account, as was the case in previous versions. On the other hand, if a BIMserver.center Corporate account is selected, the project will be associated with that account.
The "Clear cache" button has been added to the CYPE applications included in the Open BIM workflow in the "Configuration" dialogue box that opens with the following sequence of commands: Select any of the options in the "BIMserver.center" tool group > "Configuration" option in the dialogue box that appears. When clicking on "Clear cache", the following options are displayed:
