CYPEPLUMBING

Entering vertical pipes

Up until now, when entering a vertical pipe with the "Vertical pipe" tool, only the end point of the vertical pipe was requested.

As of version 2025.c, the start and end points are required. This makes it easier, for example in systems entered in the Sanitary Systems tab, to completely enter the vertical pipe (usually from the roof to the exit floor) at any floor in the job.

Creating diagrams in the new Solar Systems tab

Diagrams can now be created automatically in the "Solar Systems" tab in CYPEPLUMBING to complement the project information.

Improvements to the diagrams in the Water Systems and Sanitary Systems tabs

In the new version 2025.c of CYPEPLUMBING, libraries are created where the characteristics of the elements used in the diagrams are preserved. Up until now, these characteristics had to be entered in each job.

Changing the alignment of horizontal pipes in the Sanitary Systems tab

In previous versions, horizontal pipes in the "Sanitary Systems" tab were aligned to the bottom of their section and the program did not allow users to change this alignment.

Now, as of version 2025.c, CYPEPLUMBING allows users to change the alignment of these pipes to the centre or the upper side of the pipe section.

Links to the CYPE website in the apps help menu

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.

Defining the maximum number of decimal places

In version 2025.c, an option has been added to configure the display of significant decimals in the "Bill of quantities" tab in the apps. This new feature is used to adapt the level of numerical precision to the specific needs of each project, providing greater flexibility in the presentation of the data.

To define this configuration, a drop-down menu has been added in the "General parameters" > "Decimals" section, next to the number of decimals in each field, with the following options:

Exact number of decimals. Displays all decimals, regardless of whether they are significant figures or not. This option, which is the one used in previous versions, is kept as the default for new projects.
Maximum number of decimals. Limits the display to significant figures, up to a user-specified maximum number of decimal places. This option allows for better control of the accuracy of the data, which simplifies the presentation of the information.

This configuration is compatible with the FIEBDC-3 (.bc3) standard, to ensure that adjustments made to the number of decimal places can be read and exported correctly by the data exchange tools available in the app.

Transparent preview in dockable windows

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.

Improved management of DXF and DWG templates

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

Use of hardware acceleration in the drawing tool

As of version 2025.c, the "Drawing layouts" panel uses hardware acceleration for drafting drawings. This implementation allows users to represent and move the model more smoothly.

This panel is present in several CYPE programs, although hardware acceleration is much more noticeable in programs and projects with multiple elements (CYPECAD, CYPE 3D, CYPECAD MEP, etc.).

Incorporating CYPEPLUMBING Solar Systems into CYPEPLUMBING

To integrate the features of CYPEPLUMBING Solar Systems into a 3D environment and to incorporate the automatic production of diagrams, this app will be part of CYPEPLUMBING as a tab in the new 2025.c version.

Up until now, the transmission of data between the jobs carried out in the Water Systems tab of CYPEPLUMBING and the CYPEPLUMBING Solar Systems program was carried out by exporting the information to BIMserver.center. Now that it has been included in CYPEPLUMBING, the transfer of information is faster and more direct, and will increase the performance and connections between systems.

Changes to the apps available in CYPE Menu

The following modifications have been made to the apps available in the CYPE Menu:

Changing the management of vertical pipes in the Sanitary Systems tab

As of version 2025.c of CYPEPLUMBING, two new features have been added to improve the management of vertical pipe connections. They are located in the "Sanitary Systems" tab and are as follows
