Entering signs in fire protection design in CYPEFIRE is easier than ever thanks to the downloading of catalogues from the Open BIM Database.
As of version 2025.c, it will be possible to download manufacturers' catalogues and to enter the necessary evacuation and fire protection equipment signs.
In version 2025.c, new options have been added to the "Help" menu of all CYPE apps, providing direct links to key resources on the CYPE website. These options make it easier to access to useful information and Technical Support, improving the overall experience of using the program.
The new options are the following:
These new additions make it easier to access information and provide the necessary support to improve the users' experience with the apps and to encourage professional development.
In version 2025.c, an option has been added to configure the display of significant decimals in the "Bill of quantities" tab in the apps. This new feature is used to adapt the level of numerical precision to the specific needs of each project, providing greater flexibility in the presentation of the data.
To define this configuration, a drop-down menu has been added in the "General parameters" > "Decimals" section, next to the number of decimals in each field, with the following options:
This configuration is compatible with the FIEBDC-3 (.bc3) standard, to ensure that adjustments made to the number of decimal places can be read and exported correctly by the data exchange tools available in the app.
In version 2025.c, the preview for moving dockable windows within the apps has been improved. Now, when dragging a dockable window, the preview of its docked position is displayed transparently, allowing a clearer view of the underlying work area.
This new feature makes it easy to find the optimal location for each dockable window without obstructing important elements or losing sight of relevant project information. It also provides a smoother and more modern visual experience, aligned with best practices in user interface design.
Version 2025.c of the CYPE apps includes the following improvements in the management of DXF and DWG file templates:
As of version 2025.c, the "Drawing layouts" panel uses hardware acceleration for drafting drawings. This implementation allows users to represent and move the model more smoothly.
This panel is present in several CYPE programs, although hardware acceleration is much more noticeable in programs and projects with multiple elements (CYPECAD, CYPE 3D, CYPECAD MEP, etc.).
Until now, in CYPEFIRE, the different risk levels of fire sectors or risk rooms could only be determined according to the fire load density or the evacuation height of the fire sector or risk room.
As of this version 2025.c, all the codes implemented in CYPEFIRE include the risk level associated with each of the types; it is also shown in the program's informative messages as well as in the final reports.
The following modifications have been made to the apps available in the CYPE Menu:
New apps
Deleted apps
As of version 2025.b, applications now display a warning message in their initial window when a new update is available. This message provides information about the "installed version" and the "available version", together with a direct link to the Store page of the BIMserver.center web platform.
Clicking on the “Upgrade to the latest version” button automatically starts the download and installation process of the application. This feature ensures that the most current version of the program is always being used, thus benefiting from the latest improvements.
This method replaces the automatic notification and update process of a new version in the BIMserver.center programs available in previous versions.
As of version 2025.b, Open BIM Quantities allows users to set the visibility of the “Price” and ”Amount” columns in several windows, including the ”Bill of quantities” table, the ”Project database” and the ”Cost databases”.
This configuration is done from the "Columns" option of the "Visualisation" group in the toolbar. Users can choose to hide or show these columns according to their needs, resulting in a more personalised interface focused on the relevant information for each type of project.
This feature is particularly useful for bills of quantities without prices.
A new report called “Bill of quantities (Table)” has been added to the “BoQ Reports” available from the toolbar in the “Bill of quantities” tab.
This report includes all the concepts defined in the project in a table with the following columns:
In the configuration panel for each application, a direct link to its page in the BIMserver.center web store has been included.
By clicking on the “Go to BIMserver.center Store” button, users are redirected directly to the corresponding page in the Store, where they can learn more about the application, view its features, read reviews from other users and see examples of real contributions.
This feature provides easy access to additional resources and support, enhancing the user experience by providing quick and easy access to all relevant information about the applications.
