The option to “Export” has been implemented in the “BIM model” group of the toolbar of CYPELUX LEED and CYPELUX HQE.
This option, which was already available in the other CYPELUX programs, allows users to integrate the justification reports of each certification and the drawings of the project in the BIM project.
Drawings that have been elaborated by the application can now be exported as documents attached to the IFC file that is generated by CYPELUX programs. This way, the drawings of the installation become a part of the BIM model.
The DXF/DWG templates that have been previously uploaded in the project can now be added to the drawings that are generated by the application. This option can be activated from the drawing configuration window.
3D viewer
Since the 3D view in “GLTF” format was implemented in the 2018.i version of programs that are integrated in the Open BIM workflow, 3D models can be viewed using the viewer that is integrated in the BIMserver.center web platform and using the application (App) for mobile devices.
As of the 2018.k version, the information that is exported to the 3D viewer of BIMserver.center is increased for the following CYPE programs:
Documents and drawings
As of the 2018.k version, the following CYPE programs incorporate more documents to BIM projects located in the BIMserver.center platform:
The following CYPE programs are available to be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform:
These programs are also available on the main CYPE program menu, which is installed with the file that can be downloaded from the Download Area of the CYPE website.
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.
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 LEED is an application designed to help users comply with the Indoor Environment Quality requirements regarding natural light of the LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Specifically, the program verifies the LEED v4.0 CAI CREDIT 8.1 using option 2 (Simulation: Lighting calculations). In order to carry out this calculation, a BIM model that contains, at least, the geometric information of the building must be imported.
More information coming soon.
