Obtaining the project site

The "Obtain the project site" option has been added to the "General parameters" editing window of the project. With this tool, users can assign the site data of the selected model to the general parameters using the "Geographic location and reference system" option available during the linking or updating of the BIMserver.center project. This makes it easier to work in Open BIM Site with models that already have geolocation data.

Shortcuts for all applications

CYPE apps have keyboard shortcuts common to all programs. In versions before 2024.e, each program displayed the keyboard shortcuts for each app via the "Search and activation of commands and options" in the top left-hand corner of the programs.

As of version 2024.e, the "Shortcuts for all applications" tab has been implemented in the dialogue box displayed when selecting this option and it shows all the keyboard shortcuts common to CYPE apps.

"EPSG Code" and "Cadastral reference" in the "General parameters".

The "EPSG code" and "Cadastral reference" fields have been added to the "General parameters" editing window of the project.

New WMS services for obtaining maps

As of version 2024.e, Open BIM Site allows maps to be obtained through WMS services from the following data sources:

  • Madrid (Spain)
  • sigma Madrid - Cartografía actualizada. Servicio de mapas en tonos grises.
  • sigma Madrid - Cartografía actualizada. Servicio de mapas en color.
  • geoportal Madrid - Ortofoto 2022. Entorno de Plaza de España, Calles de Gran Vía, Mayor y Puerta de Alcalá. 1,5 cm.
  • geoportal Madrid - Ortofoto 2019. Resolución 10 cm. Verdadera

Display floor view templates in the 3D view

For 3D views defined within applications with a 3D working environment, the "Show selected templates in each floor view" option has been added. When activated, the templates visible in each of the floor views will be displayed in the 3D view in the dimension corresponding to these views.

Managing the visibility of templates in the view configuration window

As of version 2024.c, applications with a 3D working environment can manage the visibility of templates from the view configuration panel. For this purpose, the "DXF-DWG templates" tab has been added, where a list of all the templates imported into the project is displayed together with a checkbox to indicate which ones should be shown in the view.

New WMS services for obtaining maps

As of version 2024.c, Open BIM Site allows maps to be obtained through WMS services from the following data sources:

  • France
    • geoservices - Services WEB Experts - Ortho
    • geoservices - Services WEB Experts - Parcellaire

Installation modes (professional, campus, evaluation, temporary license)

All CYPE programs can be installed in their different versions (Professional Version, Evaluation Version, Campus Version, Temporary License). In previous versions, users could only choose the type of version to be installed from the classic CYPE menu.

As of version 2024.a, the selection of version types has been implemented in all CYPE programs on the BIMserver.center platform.

As of version 2024.d, this selection can be made during the installation of all CYPE programs, regardless of where they are downloaded.

Applications available in Romanian

As of version 2024.b, the following applications are also available in Romanian:

  • CYPE Architecture
  • Open BIM Analytical Model
  • Open BIM Model Checker
  • Open BIM Layout
  • Open BIM Site
  • Plugin Open BIM - Revit

Moving elements with the arrow keys

As of version 2024.b, applications with the "Element selection tool" (this tool was implemented in version 2021.e) have the ability to move the selected model components with the arrow keys on the keyboard. The elements shall be moved on the work plane of the active view in the direction of the arrow key. Whenever the arrow is pressed, the distance that is displaced is constant, so zooming will make it larger or smaller.

Improvements in the connection to BIMserver.center

Version 2024.b includes the following improvements and corrections to the connection of applications to the BIMserver.center platform:

  • After sharing a contribution, there is a delay before it becomes available in the BIMserver.center project. This could result in another application not having immediate access, even if the export was made from the same computer. Now applications can read contributions from the "File directory stored in local cache" before they are accessible in BIMserver.center.

  • It is now possible to export a contribution without an internet connection. When this occurs, a confirmation dialogue box will appear to inform users that if the contribution is exported, it cannot be shared in the BIMserver.center project. The contribution can be read in another application as long as it is on the same computer and linked to the same project. However, for the contribution to be available on the platform, users will need to "Share" it again with an internet connection.

  • The uploading process has been improved to allow larger files to be included.

  • An error that did not allow users to connect to the platform when the "AppData" system folder was not accessible has been fixed.

  • An error that showed the user as logged in when the session had already expired has been fixed.

  • The warning messages displayed when there is a problem in the communication with BIMserver.center have been improved.

  • Now, when creating a new project, the same default fields are used as in the BIMserver.center website.
