Update history​​

CYPEPLUMBING

As of version 2025.d, there is a third layer configuration (By criteria) for the elements in the system, in addition to the two that already existed in previous versions. The "Layer configuration" window is now organised as follows:

  1. By network (Type of pipe/Type of drainage)
    Up until now it was only possible to activate or deactivate some of the networks, and from version 2025.d onwards the same options will be available as for the rest of the categories.

  2. By own elements

  3. By criteria (General options)
    This new configuration ensures greater control both when entering the system and in the respective analysis of the entry made and the design.

All configurations now have the same options: to lock snaps, whether or not to display symbols or 3D and to control the opacity of the 3D, and the new possibility to select a display colour in the "Work area" for each of the elements. The latter makes it easier to highlight the areas to be studied.

As of CYPEPLUMBING version 2025.d, elements such as consumption, downloads, fittings, which until now were entered directly from the upper toolbar, are now organised in floating menus that can be docked in the "Work area".

It is even possible to move them to another monitor, when working with several monitors, which facilitates their accessibility and visibility.

Furthermore, all buttons for graphical displays, which were located in the top toolbar, are now available in the side window "Layer settings".

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.

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

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.

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.

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, 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.

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.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.).

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.
