The "3D Scene" library has been improved to include the following features:
In the applications listed below, apart from the symbols included to represent elements that are introduced in their corresponding installations, symbols in DXF or DWG format can be imported:
As of version 2022.e, applications that are connected to BIMserver.center communicate with the platform more directly. As a result, it is no longer necessary to specify the user account(s) and projects to be synchronised in the BIMserver.center Sync tool before using the applications. When a user signs in from a desktop application, it automatically establishes the connection to the project.
Previously, some applications required the user to connect to BIMserver.center and select a project in order to start a job. Now, this is no longer necessary and the link will only need to be established when updating the project or sharing a contribution.
As of version 2022.e, the applications connected to BIMserver.center have an information bar displaying the link status to the project on the platform. This bar can be found at the top right of the application window and is divided into the following sections:
New paper formats have been added to CYPE Connect and Open BIM Layout:
The dimensions defined in each sheet are associated with the geometry of the elements of the scene that have been taken as a reference. This association allows the dimensions of the model to be automatically readjusted in the event of changes in the dimensions of the model.
In the particular case of the tags, this association was already maintained in previous versions, except in the particular case of the tags of the holes in CYPE Connect. As of version 2022.g, this association is maintained, allowing the directrix of the tag to be moved when the position of the relevant hole changes. This is a special case, as the hole itself is not an object in the scene.
The option to export the 3D scenes in sheets in vector graphics format has been implemented in version 2022.g. Up to version 2022.f, these scenes were exported as raster images.
From the scene editing panel, the line style to be used for vector graphics format export can be configured.
From the 'Print' dialogue box, the scene views can be exported:
The latter option must be selected to export in vector graphics format. In particular, this explains the "when possible" note in the option, a scene view is exported as a vector image if two requirements are met:
As an example, there are two PDF sheets that can be downloaded, which have been exported in vector graphics format.
The interface for selecting the reference system of the job available during the linking process with the BIMserver.center platform project has been modified. Now, via the "Reference system selection" button located at the top of the window, the base reference system to be used is chosen. This displays a tree with the reference systems available in the BIM project from the contributions that were previously marked for import.
The following improvements affecting profile fill for scene views have been included:
As of version 2022.b, applications with 3D drawing surroundings allow a viewing volume to be defined from the geometric envelope of the scene content. The arrows allow the viewing volume to be adjusted by moving their faces and the arches allow the viewing volume to be adjusted by means of 6 clips planes.
Version 2021.g of CYPE’s programs is a closing version of the 2021 version.
As well as the new features and improvements expressly indicated in each version of CYPE software, process optimisation involving internal updates for all our programs is normally included. In each revision, all programs are systematically checked and changes are made to improve their performance, therefore, we recommend that our users (in this case those of v.2021) always update their version to the latest one, regardless of the country for which they are using CYPE software or the language in which it is installed.
A user manual for the program is included. The manual can be accessed from the program itself ("Help" button in the upper right corner of the screen) or from the "Available resources" section of the program's profile on the BIMserver.centre platform (next to the download button).
