Tag management in drawings has been improved. Now, tags follow pipes or their associated element when they are moved.
Additionally, users can insert a tag using the “Insert text” tool 
in the “Label” menu. Inserted tags will not be associated to elements or pipes of the installation.
As of the 2019.d version of “CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems”, when users move elements of the installation, they are not disconnected from it.
This improvement has also been implemented in CYPEPLUMBING Solar Systems.
A new icon 
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 
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 () has also been implemented in CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems and CYPEPLUMBING Solar Systems.
As of the 2018.l version of CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems, users can define the maximum distance between the hot water production equipment and the consumption point. If the check is activated and the distance is defined, the program will display a warning at the consumption points that exceed it.
This check is activated in “General options > Analysis and drawing options > General checks”
The check is deactivated by default. In an upcoming version, it will be activated with the value that is established in the selected code and users will be able to deactivate or edit it to modify the limit.
Users can now add a series of complementary checks that modify and complement the design and check options of the selected code.
Since its first version, the design and check options of the selected code are defined in the “Design and check options to be carried out” section of the “General settings” dialogue box. In the 2018.j version, the “General checks” button has been added to the “Analysis and drawing options” section of the “General settings” dialogue box, which opens a panel of the same name, in which users can configure more design and check options:
The 2018.j version of CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems includes two visualisation modes that affect the 2D and 3D views of the installation. For this, the “Visualisation mode” section has been added to the “Representation options” panel (General settings > Analysis and drawing options > Representation options). This section allows users to activate or deactivate the “Single filament” option for the 2D and 3D views separately. When activated, a single filament view is displayed, and when deactivated, a volumetric view can be seen. The properties of these views are detailed below:
In the 3D views, the remaining elements of the installation do not vary when either view is selected, and are represented with a volume surrounding their real appearance.
In the 2D views, pressure sets, tanks and hot water production equipment are represented with their symbols in the “Single filament visualisation” (which may or may not coincide with their real appearance). In the “Volumetric view”, these elements are represented with their symbols and also with their real outline.
When the pipes are exported to the BIM model, these are exported as single filament elements, if the single filament option of the 3D view is activated or as volumetric elements if it is not.
The Project documents manager, which was implemented in the previous program version (2018.i), allows users to generate a document, with its index, which includes reports selected by users.
As of the 2018.j version, the manager allows users to configure several documents of the same project with different contents (e.g. a document that includes quantities and another that does not). This way, users do not have to change the contents of the document to generate more than one type, and can configure a collection of documents with the required contents.
Implemented in the 2018.j version are the design criteria established in the EN 806-3 code (Specifications for installations inside buildings conveying water for human consumption. Part 3: Pipe sizing).
Especificaciones para instalaciones de conducción de agua destinada al consumo humano en el interior del edificio. Parte 3: Dimensionamiento de tuberías.
Implemented in CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems.
The program generates, in the 3D view, any vertical spans that join two elements introduced in the same floor but with different elevations. This already occurred as of the 2018.g version for consumption elements. These elements are introduced in the same floor plan as the pipe that feeds them. In the 3D view they appear joined by a vertical span without the need to have to manually introduce it.
Now, these vertical spans are also generated between pipes with different elevations or between other elements to which users assign a different elevation to that of the plane along which the pipe runs (connections, meters, tanks, pressure groups ...).
The vertical spans that are generated automatically by the program are drawn in the 3D view in a slightly lighter colour than the pipes and verticals spans introduced by users. The vertical spans that are generated will have the same diameter as the pipe from which they descend. If users wish to modify their diameter, the vertical span must be introduced manually using a vertical pipe.
In the attached image, the vertical spans that have been generated automatically are marked with a red circle (both in the 3D view and in the plan view).
CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems allows users to export the quantities of the project to the BIM model in FIEBDC-3 standard format (so it can be treated by bill of quantities programs such as Arquimedes) and the document configured by users using the Document manager (also implemented in this version) with PDF format.
As of the 2018.i version of CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems, the “Results” report and the new “Checks” report can be configured.
Now, users can organise the information of the results report (by network, by floor, by criteria and/or by main span) and include the checks of the most important spans (main span and/or spans that fail checks).
