Update history​​

CYPELUX

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.

When the project information is exported to BIMserver.centre, the IFC file that is generated has several “.gltf” file referenced to it, which contain the contour maps of each result represented in the 3D view of the program (maintained horizontal illuminance, unified glare rating, daylight coefficient...). This allows users to view the contour maps in the 3D viewer of BIMserver.center, in a similar way as is done in other Open BIM applications such as CYPETEL Wireless.

The “.gltf” files that are generated by CYPELUX programs are independent of each other and of the file that is generated for lights since the previous version (2018.k), so each one can be viewed independently.

As of the 2018.l version, CYPELUX can represent the contour maps of the results in the 3D view of the BIM model. This option can be activated using the “View results” panel, once the project has been analysed.

3D viewer

Since the 3D view in “GLTF” format was implemented in the 2018.i version of programs integrated in the Open BIM workflow, 3D models can be viewed in the viewer that is integrated on the BIMserver.center Web platform and in its application (App) for mobile devices.

As of the 2018.l version, the amount of information the following CYPE programs export to the 3D viewer of BIMserver.center has been increased:

  • CYPELUX, CYPELUX CTE, CYPELUX RECS, CYPELUX LEED and CYPELUX HQE
    Exports contour map diagrams. More information on the Contour map diagrams in BIMserver.center section of the new features of CYPELUX of this webpage.

As of the 2018.k version, CYPELUX, CYPELUX CTE and CYPELUX RECS export data of the lighting installation to the file with “.GLTF” format that is used to show the 3D model (in the 3D viewer that is integrated in the BIMserver.center web platform and its application for mobile devices – App). Thanks to this new feature, collaborators of the BIM project can obtain the following information on the lights that have been selected for the project:

  • Type of light (indoor, outdoor or emergency)
  • Reference of the type of light
  • Installation height
  • Reading of EULUMDAT (.ldt) light files containing absolute photometry data, as is done with IESNA (.ies) files.
  • Now, the “Conversion factor”, which is defined in EULUMDAT (.ldt) light files, will be applied to the intensity values.
  • Thanks to the new feature of this version, which allows for point light sources to be defined, point lights can now be imported from IESNA (.ies) and EULUMDAT (.ldt) files.

As of the 2018.k version, users can define point lights (indoor, outdoor and emergency), as well as rectangular and circular lights that could already be defined.

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:

  • CYPELUX, CYPELUX CTE, CYPELUX RECS, CYPELUX LEED y CYPELUX HQE
    The drawings that are elaborated by these applications are exported as documents attached to the IFC file. More information can be found in the “Export drawings to the BIM project” section.


  • CYPELUX LEED y CYPELUX HQE
    The justification reports of each certification and the drawings of the project are exported. More information can be found in the “Export drawings and documents to the BIM project” section.

As of the 2018.g version, CYPELUX allows users to attach project reports (in PDF format) and the quantities of the project (in the standard FIEBDC-BC3 format), to the IFC format that is generated by the application. Users can choose which of these documents are to be included in the project using the configuration panel of the export to IFC format.

A new option has been added in the toolbar that allows users to, once the project has been analysed, to show a document with the properties and individual checks of a zone.
