CYPELUX

As of version 2025.d, lighting design in CYPELUX can be carried out in a 3D work environment. To optimise interaction with the 3D model, the application interface has been revamped with new dockable windows that facilitate project management and visualisation:

  • Work area
    Displays the 3D model in the active view and is used for entering the components of the lighting installation.

  • Views
    Manages the views of the model and can navigate between them.

  • Levels
    Makes it easier to link installation components to structural elements, such as levels or buildings. More information on Level management.

  • Own elements
    Manages the visibility and snapping of the lighting components inserted in the project.

  • Elements read
    Manages the visibility and snapping of elements from other BIMserver.center contributions, integrated into the model during the linking process.

The program can be used to continue working on 2D templates from the BIM model or imported from the program in DXF, DWG, and DWF formats; or in various image formats (JPEG, JPG, PNG or WMF). This maintains the compatibility of work in those projects that do not have a 3D architectural model.

As of version 2025.d, CYPELUX features a new dockable window system that replaces the main screen user interface. As a result, users can now customise the workspace to suit their needs.

Dockable windows can be moved and resized. They can be floating windows, pinned to or dragged out of the main application window, or even moved to another monitor.

For more information on Dockable windows can be found in the link to the new features of version 2023.e.

As of version 2025.d, the CYPELUX EN, CYPELUX CTE, CYPELUX SCE and CYPELUX LEED applications will be combined in a single version of CYPELUX, consolidating all their features in a single tool.

In previous versions, CYPELUX could already import the regulatory requirements of:

  • EN 12464-1 (Lighting in workplaces).
  • Technical Building Code (CTE).
  • Energy Certification System for Buildings (SCE).

Now, the CYPELUX LEED feature is also integrated in this version. The "LEED 4.0 CAI CREDIT 8.1" check can be selected directly from the "Specific requirements of each zone" settings in the "General parameters" menu.

In addition, in the "Daylight" configuration panel, options have been added to adjust the parameters of the sky model to be used in the simulation, allowing for greater accuracy in natural lighting calculations.

Generating justification documents

With this update, CYPELUX now offers an extended generation of justification reports. In addition to the "Calculation annex" and "Project" documents, the following reports can now be generated:

  • LEED 4.0 CAI CREDIT 8.1 (formerly available in CYPELUX LEED).
  • Material and Construction Specifications.
  • CTE DB-HE 3 (formerly available in CYPELUX CTE).
  • CTE DB-SUA 4 (formerly available in CYPELUX CTE).

The "Filter" tool has been added to the light selection panel. Thanks to this new feature, the available lights can now be filtered according to the following parameters:

  • Lamp. Lamp reference.
  • Luminous flux. Option to set minimum and maximum values.
  • Total power. Option to set minimum and maximum values.
  • Efficiency. Option to set minimum and maximum values.
  • Temperature. Option to set minimum and maximum values.
  • Ra. Option to set minimum and maximum values.
  • Length. Option to set minimum and maximum values.
  • Width. Option to set minimum and maximum values.
  • Diameter. Option to set minimum and maximum values.
  • Height. Option to set minimum and maximum values.
  • Bill of quantities. Option to display only lights that contain enough information to generate the bill of quantities.

This improvement streamlines the light selection process, allowing specialists to quickly find products that meet the technical specifications of the project.

As of version 2025.d, the following apps will be discontinued from CYPE's programs:

  • IFC Uploader
    You can now create new contributions directly from the project page on the BIMserver.center web platform.

  • CYPETEL Systems
    The features of this program are included in CYPETEL.

  • CYPELUX EN / CYPELUX LEED
    The features of these programs are included in CYPELUX.

  • CYPE Lightning
    The features of this program are included in CYPELEC Distribution.

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:

  • Technical support: This link provides information on the different ways of contacting the CYPE Technical Support team to clarify any queries, obtain customised assistance and solve any problem related to the apps.

  • User community: This option provides access to the CYPE user community, where users can share experiences, ask questions and discuss solutions with other professionals using the same tools. This community encourages the exchange of knowledge and best practices, helping to make the most of the program's features.

  • Learning resources: This link leads to a collection of learning resources, such as tutorials, manuals, videos and articles, designed to help you understand and use CYPE apps more efficiently. These materials are designed for all levels of experience, from beginners to advanced users, and are an excellent source of information to expand skills and technical knowledge.

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, 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:

  • Reading DXF/DWG files with updated version
    As of version 2025.c, CYPE apps can read DXF/DWG files up to AutoCAD® version 2025.

  • Improved template preview
    Advanced graphic management has been implemented in the template selection and transformation panels to optimise the template drawing preview window and facilitate the movement of the drawing from this panel.

  • Simultaneous transformations on the template
    The application of the following transformations on an imported template has been improved:
    • Selecting the visible area of the template
    • Changing the coordinate origin of a template
    • Adjusting the scale of a template

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:

  • Move up (move to the left) or move down (move to the right) commands in the toolbar.
  • Add a dividing line to the right of the button.
  • Remove a command or dividing line from the toolbar.

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.
