CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems

Floating toolbars

For quicker data editing and labelling of installation drawings, floating menus have been implemented for the following tools in CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems, CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems and CYPEPLUMBING Solar Systems:

  • Edit
  • Tag
  • Drawing

These floating menus can be pinned to the screen by selecting the Menú no anclado icon located to the right of the screen header (Menú anclado Pinned, Menú no anclado Unpinned),  so they do not disappear when another tool group is activated or when the program is reopened.

Furthermore, the floating menus can have three different tool views, which can be alternated using the Cambio de aspecto de menú flotantes icon located to the right of the screen header:

  • Horizontal with large icons
  • Vertical with large icons
  • Vertical with small icons and descriptive texts of the tools

The floating menus can also be adhered to the sides of the workspace to look like toolbars.

Tag configuration and personalisation of symbols

Two tabs have been incorporated in the “Representation options” dialogue:

  • Tags
    Allows users to configure the information included in the tags that will be introduced together with the equipment and elements of the installation.
  • Symbols
    Allows users to create their own symbols for the elements of the installation and this way personalise the corresponding drawings.

64-bit Version

As of the 2019.f version, CYPE programs (those downloaded from our website and those downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform) are compiled for 64-bit systems. The 64-bit compilation of CYPE software implies the use of the superior features of 64-bit processors and operating systems compared to those of 32 bits.

Please bear in mind that you must have a 64-bit operating system to be able to work with any 64-bit software.

In any case and as a temporary measure, the 2019.f version is available in 64 and 32 bits on the download area of our webpage. The programs that can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform are only available in 64 bits. If you have a 64-bit operating system, you can work with either the 64-bit and 32-bit version of our software, although we strongly recommend that you install the 64-bit CYPE software version.

You can see which operating system is installed on your computer by clicking on "Control panel > System".

Since 64-bit microprocessors began to be massively introduced into personal computers from 2003 and from the Windows XP version, Microsoft already offers the two versions of its operating systems (32 and 64 bits). We understand that almost all our users will have computers with 64-bit processors (x64) and 64-bit operating systems.

It could occur that a user may wish to work with a computer with a 64-bit processor but with a 32-bit operating system. It would be very strange if the computer had a 32-bit processor (x86 - computers over 15 years old). If any of these is your case, we advise you to talk to your hardware or software provider to update your situation as soon as possible. However, you can download the 32-bit version and work with CYPE programs that can be downloaded from our website until your situation is up-to-date.

CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems

The 2019.e version of “CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems” includes the new features detailed below:

  • Representation of excavation volumes in the 3D view
  • Graphical analysis of the total excavation per pipe span and per metre
  • Longitudinal profile of several consecutive spans of the excavation
  • Element reference search in drawings
  • Insert elevation as a pipe tag on drawings

More information on these new features of “CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems” will be available shortly.

Consult BIM information

As of the 2019.e version, the applications that are integrated in the Open BIM workflow can consult the BIM information contained in the GLTF format files in the same way as on the BIMserver.center platform.

BIM model views

As of the 2019.e version, the 3D representation in the applications that are integrated in the Open BIM workflow contains the elements of the application itself as well as those contained in the GLTF files exported by the rest of the applications whose IFC files have been linked to the model.

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.

JIMTEM “dBlue” pipes catalogue

The pipes library now incorporates JIMTEM’s “dBlue” pipes catalogue. The catalogue that has been introduced includes soundproof evacuation pipes of up to 10dB at 2 l/s and are manufactured using PPMD.

This catalogue is available in the library and can be used when the code that has been selected in the “General options” dialogue box is the “HS 5 Evacuación de aguas” code (Spain). If a different code or country is selected, JIMTEN’s “dBlue” catalogue is not imported automatically, but users can import it by selecting the JIMTEN logo in the “Pipes catalogue” panel.

Rotate tags

Tag management in drawings has been improved. Now, tags follow pipes or their associated element when they are moved.

Additionally, the tool “Rotate tag” New modules and programs. CYPEPLUMBING Water systems. Click to enlarge the image has been added in the “Label” menu.

The same tool has been added in CYPEPLUMBING Solar Systems.

Move drainpipes

A new icon New modules and programs. CYPEPLUMBING Water systems. Click to enlarge the image has been added to the “Pipes” toolbar, which users can use to completely move a drainpipe, from its initial floor to the last. In previous versions, they could only be moved using the generic “Move” tool New modules and programs. CYPEPLUMBING Water systems. Click to enlarge the image from the “Edit” menu, which continues to exist to move any element. However, when this tool is used to move drainpipes, only the span of the pipe of the floor that is shown on-screen is moved.

In both cases, only the drainpipe is moved and not the horizontal pipes that connect to it.

The tool to move complete vertical drainpipes (New modules and programs. CYPEPLUMBING Water systems. Click to enlarge the image) has also been implemented in CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems and CYPEPLUMBING Solar Systems.

New design options

Specific simultaneity criteria

As of the 2018.l version of CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems, users can define specific simultaneity criteria for a type of horizontal or vertical pipe, different to that which has been defined for all the installation in “General settings > Analysis and drawing options > Calculation options > Simultaneity”.

The specific simultaneity criteria are defined in: General settings >Design and check options to be carried out > “Horizontal pipes” or “Vertical pipes” > Select or define a type of pipe > “Design and check data” section > activate “Apply specific simultaneity criteria”.

Limit chamber inlet heights

The possibility to “Limit the height of the chamber inlet above its base” has also been implemented. This option can be activated and the limit can be defined individually for each type of “Inspection box” in the “Dimension properties” section of the “Inspection box” dialogue box (General settings > design and check options to be carried out > Inspection boxes > Selection or definition of a type of inspection box).

This option is deactivated by default and it is users that must activate it and indicate the limit value. In an upcoming version, it will appear activated in accordance with the values established in the selected code and users will be able to deactivate or edit it to modify the limit.

New checks

Maximum distance between cleanouts and cleanouts at pipe spans with a change of direction

As of the 2018.l version, CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems allows users to define the maximum distance that must exist between horizontal pipe cleanouts and cleanouts at pipe spans with a change of direction.

To do so, the “Horizontal pipe” dialogue box (General settings > Design and check options to be carried out > Horizontal pipes > select or define a type of horizontal pipe) has been reorganised; the “Design and check data” section now consists of three tabs “General data”, “Analysis methods to use” and “Additional checks”. The latter tab contains the two cleanout checks that have been mentioned (Maximum distance between cleanouts and Cleanouts in the changes in direction of the pipe).

These checks can be selected for each type of horizontal pipe that is defined in the project.

The program emits warning when the checks fail for the horizontal pipes for which they have been activated.

These checks are currently deactivated by default and users must activate them if they wish. In an upcoming version, they will appear activated if they are contemplated in the selected code. Users will be able to freely activate, deactivate or modify the maximum distance.

Maximum distance between water seals and ventilated sections

As of the 2018.l version, CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems allows users to define the maximum distance that must be present between the discharge water seals and the closest ventilated section.

This check is located in the “Design and check data” section of the “Discharge” dialogue box (General settings > Design and check options to be carried out > Discharges > selection or definition of a type of discharge) and can be defined individually and with different values for each type of discharge. Users establish the maximum distance for each slope interval they wish to define in a table.

The program will emit warnings when this check fails for the types of discharges for which it has been defined.

This check is currently deactivated by default. Users must activate it, if it is to be contemplated. In an upcoming version, the check will appear activated with the values corresponding to the selected code. Users can modify these values or deactivate the check.
