Update history​

CYPELUX EN

New 3D view system

The 2019.e version includes a new 3D view system in most of its programs: CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and the entire family of applications integrated in the Open BIM workflow. It will be incorporated progressively in other programs.

The properties of the system are:

  • Improvement in the speed with which scenes containing many objects are drawn

  • Dynamic calculation of the rotation pivot of the camera

  • Rotation around a point indicated by users

  • Possibility to define global section planes X, Y or Z

  • Zoom to the object under the cursor in the perspective and orthogonal views



For this viewing system to operate correctly, the applications require a video card that is compatible with OpenGL 3.3 or higher.

Reading of the suspended ceilings defined in the BIM model

Open BIM Suspended Ceilings (new program that has been implemented in this version) exports the layout of the suspended ceilings of the project to the BIM model. Also in this version, all CYPELUX programs (CYPELUX, CYPELUX EN, CYPELUX CTE, CYPELUX RECS, CYPELUX HQE and CYPELUX LEED) can read the suspended ceiling panels and show them as a template on the floor plans of the project. This way, it is easy to verify where exactly, a light can be placed so not to collide with the hanging elements of the suspended ceiling of the accessible panels.

The visibility of the suspended ceiling can be controlled using the “Layer management” option, which is located in the “View” menu of the application toolbar.

Daylight panel

As of the 2017.j version, the design configuration for natural daylight, defined in the Daylight option of the toolbar, can be saved to be used in future projects.

View of the floor slab above

As of the 2017.j version, CYPELUX displays the floor slabs from the floor above on the floor plan, as long as the project is linked to an architectural BIM model. This way, users can easily identify the presence of openings, which helps when introducing roof skylights.

The view of the floor above can be deactivated from the “Layer management” of the program.

Layer management

The “Layer management” option has been implemented in the “View” group of the toolbar of the program. This option displays a panel from which users can indicate which building elements are to be displayed on the floor plans of the project.

CYPELUX EN (new program)

CYPELUX EN allows users to verify lighting requirements, depending on the type of activity, proposed by EN 12464-1 for indoor working areas. The program checks the maintained lighting, glare index, lighting uniformity and chromatic yield of the lights. To reach the necessary levels, it is possible to use normal artificial lighting or daylight, in accordance with point 4.12 Additional daylight benefits, of the code.

To use this program, the user license must contain the permit to check indoor lighting in accordance with EN 12464-1.

The features of CYPELUX EN already existed as of previous versions in CYPELUX. Now, as of the 2017.i version, the module to check indoor lighting in accordance with EN 12464-1, ceases to operate in CYPELUX and is a separate program, CYPELUX EN. In any case, CYPELUX EN has inherited all the features of and operates in the same way as CYPELUX for normal indoor lighting calculations and integration in the Open BIM workflow.
