As of version 2025.d, when clicking the "Share" option of the apps (before starting the generation of the contribution files), a check is made to ensure that the user is part of the BIMserver.center project team. If the user does not have the appropriate permissions, a warning message is displayed. This prevents the generation of unnecessary files when the user does not have editing rights.
As of version 2025.d, the "Project selection" window in the apps connected to BIMserver.center incorporates a new notification system to inform users about the latest new features on the platform.
This space displays relevant messages about new features, enhancements and recommendations related to BIMserver.center. In addition, direct links to documents, tutorials and additional resources will be included to facilitate the adoption of these new features.
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.
A new "Description" field has been added in the editing window of a "Mapping file" allowing a descriptive text to be associated with the set.
This allows users to provide information on the content or use of the set without the limitations of the "Name" field.
As of version 2024.f, the "Bill of quantities" tab allows commercial information to be entered in the "Project cost database" or a "Cost database".
For this purpose, the "Commercial entities" button has been added to the toolbar in the management window of both elements.
By clicking on it, a menu is displayed where it is possible to define the data of the commercial entities involved in the project or the cost database.
Furthermore, to allow commercial entities to be associated with concepts, the "Commercial entities" field has been added to the editing panel for work sections and items.
Commercial entities are part of the standard database interchange format for the FIEBDC-3 construction database (.bc3). Therefore, this information can be imported and exported using the tools in the "Bill of quantities" tab for managing BC3 files.
As of version 2024.f, the work sections of a bill of quantities or a cost database can have more information associated with them. For this purpose, the following tabs have been added to the editing panel of a work section displayed within the management menu of the "Project cost database" or of a "Cost database":
In previous versions, this data could only be associated with "Items".
As of version 2024.f, the window for creating a "Cost database" includes the "Template" option.
When selected, users can create a cost database with an initial work section structure.
The following configurations are currently available:
As of version 2024.d, "CYPEHVAC Hydronics" (design of water distribution systems for air-conditioning) includes the analysis of ducts and, as a consequence, changes its name to "CYPEHVAC" (design of air-conditioning systems - heating, ventilation and air-conditioning).
Integrating the analysis of ducts in CYPEHVAC means that the program that in previous versions carried out the ductwork analysis (CYPEHVAC Ductwork) will not evolve from this version onwards. The latest available versions of CYPEHVAC Ductwork (2024.b) and CYPEHVAC Hydronics (2024.b) can still be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform. However, we recommend that from now on, for designing air conditioning systems and analysing air ducts, CYPEHVAC should be used as this program will continue to evolve.
In order to be able to use all the CYPEHVAC features, the user license must have all the permissions included in "CYPEHVAC Hydronics" and "CYPEHVAC Ductwork". The user licence may only have some of the permissions to carry out the design of air conditioning systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) and may or may not have the permission to carry out the analysis of ducts. In this case, the program can be used for the design and analysis of the systems included in the user license.
The main change that users will notice in the application interface is the division of the "Installation" tab into the new "Water distribution" and "Air distribution" tabs. This division only affects the options available in the toolbar, as only those options that are required for each type of system are displayed. Both tabs share the display of the design model.
Among the improvements for the ductwork design in CYPEHVAC compared to CYPEHVAC Ductwork, we would like to highlight the following:
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.
In the help tool for filling in the currency code, within the general parameters of the project, the following references from ISO 4217 have been added:
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.
Version 2024.b includes the following improvements and corrections to the connection of applications to the BIMserver.center platform:
