In Open BIM Site version 2024.f, the following improvements have been made to the reading of ARC/INFO format files:

  • The reading of the "xllcenter" and "yllcenter" fields of the standard have been implemented and can be defined alternatively to the "xllcorner" and "yllcorner" parameters.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
