An information message has been incorporated into the installation button of the applications so that, before proceeding with the installation, users can identify which applications are free to use (free of charge) and which require licensing permissions (including paid modules).
This enhancement improves the user experience by providing clarity and transparency on the options available to the user based on their license model.
In the new 2025.b version of CYPE Menu, the background installation feature has been added. Users can now continue working on other tasks while applications are automatically installed in the background.
During the background installation process, the “Installing program” message is displayed next to the applications button in the main CYPE Menu window. Once completed, the message disappears and the application can be run.
This feature is designed to make applications easier to use and manage, improving productivity and the overall experience by minimising waiting time and interruptions during the installation of new applications or upgrades.
CYPEFIRE displays errors according to the level of severity defined in the program, allowing them to be solved in stages by focusing on only one part of the problem at a time.
However, this may not be a beneficial solution for some users, and for this reason, it is possible to deactivate this option and display all the errors of the work simultaneously. This option can be found under "General options > Design options".
In the CYPEFIRE code configuration, each piece of fire safety equipment (fire extinguishers, hydrants, detectors, alarm buttons, etc.) can be requested according to different parameters such as the surface area of the compartment, ascending evacuation height, etc.
As of version 2025.b, CYPEFIRE now includes the possibility of requesting any of the equipment depending on the total surface area of the establishment where the fire compartment is located.
The existing codes have also been updated with this new check.
There is now an additional option in the main CYPE Menu window to “Log in” to BIMserver.center.
This way, downloaded applications also appear in the user's account on the BIMserver.center platform.
The following modifications have been made to the availability of the applications from the CYPE Menu.

The "Updates" option has been implemented in the main CYPE Menu window. Thanks to this tool, multiple updates of installed applications can be carried out via the CYPE Menu.
When clicking on the “Updates” option, a window opens with a list of all installed applications. Select a set of them and, after clicking "Accept", the update process will start.
During this process, progress is displayed in the main CYPE Menu window indicating the current status of the update.
If an update is available for the CYPE Menu itself, it is shown below the list of applications to be updated. However, it is important to note that the update of the CYPE Menu is carried out on its own.
This new feature makes application maintenance easier, ensuring that the latest improvements are always available.
Now, from the BIMserver.center project information window (displayed by clicking on the project name visible in the top right bar of the application), the owner's public profile page can be accessed on the BIMserver.center platform via the link inserted in the text representing the owner's name.
As of version 2025.a, it is now possible to copy ("Ctrl+C") a group of elements and paste ("Ctrl+V") them in several places with the selection tool. In previous versions, the elements selected for copying could only be pasted once.
The "Element selection" tool was implemented in version 2021.e.
The following changes have been made to the options bar for entering elements in the work area:
As of version 2025.a, CYPE applications with a "Ribbon" have a customisable quick access toolbar (QAT), located in the top left corner of the program. This bar contains a set of commands that are separate from the active ribbon tab.
To add or remove a command from the quick access toolbar, a button has been included to access the configuration of the toolbar. Clicking it displays a window where users can add commands from the application's menus. Specific commands can be selected or all the commands found in a menu can be added using the "Assign all" button.
The list of commands added to the quick access toolbar provides options to perform the following actions:
Each application can include several commands in the initial settings of the quick access toolbar and can be restored using the "Default settings" option. Furthermore, applications that are connected to the BIMserver.center platform include the "Update" and "Share" options in their default settings.
In version 2025.a, CYPE Menu (which can now be downloaded exclusively from the BIMserver.center platform) has new program groups.
Most of the CYPE applications are sorted into these groups. In previous versions, most of these applications could only be downloaded as single applications from the BIMserver.center platform.
By downloading and installing CYPE Menu, users will only have the CYPE programs menu installed, but none of the applications included in it will be downloaded or installed. Initially, each of the icons representing the CYPE Menu applications appears in a box with a grey background. When clicking on any of them for the first time (or on the button under the application's name), a contextual menu will appear allowing users to download and install the latest version of that application or an earlier version if available. Earlier versions (from 2024 onwards) will be available for those programs that include paid modules. Normally, free applications will only allow the latest version of these programs to be installed. Any installed version of any application can be uninstalled.
When an application has been installed, by clicking on the button under its name, the context menu that appears includes the "Uninstall" option.
More information on this program menu can be found in the FAQ "How to download and install programs from CYPE’s general menu".
The CYPE Menu download of versions before 2025 (with the applications included) is still available in the download area of the CYPE website.
