Plugin Open BIM - Revit

As of version 2025.a, the CYPE program menu can only be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform.

The CYPE Menu application was already available from version 2024.b on the BIMserver.center platform. Now, in version 2025.a, the advantages of CYPE Menu compared to previous versions, which were downloaded from the download area of the CYPE website, are as follows:

  • As of version 2024.b
    • Once CYPE Menu has been installed, the applications it contains will be installed from this new menu when they are opened for the first time.

  • As of version 2024.f
    • CYPE Menu allows users to manage the updates of the applications it contains.

  • As of version 2025.a
    • New program groups and many CYPE applications that could only be downloaded directly from BIMserver.center are included.
    • The version of each application to be installed can be selected (from version 2024 onwards).
    • Previously installed applications can be uninstalled.

Further information on the new features can be found in the following new features of CYPE Menu version 2025.a.

In the download area of the CYPE website, the download of the program menu for versions prior to 2025.a (in 64-bit and 32-bit) will still be available. In this download area, there is also a link to the BIMserver.center platform "Store" for downloading the 2025.a version of "CYPE Menu".

As a result of these changes, the 32-bit version of the CYPE Menu is no longer available in version 2025.a. As of 18 February 2019 (version 2019.f), the CYPE programs have been running on 64-bit systems. Since then, only the classic CYPE menu could be installed on 32-bit systems. All other applications (downloadable from the BIMserver.center platform) only worked on 64-bit systems. We believe that 32-bit programming is no longer feasible to take advantage of the superior performance of 64-bit processors and operating systems. Users who still want to use certain 32-bit CYPE programs (those available in the "CYPE Menu" prior to version 2025.a) must install a version prior to 2025.a from the download area of the CYPE website, but will not be able to upgrade their programs to later versions. Please refer to our FAQ question "Which version should I download, 64-bit or 32-bit?" for more information on the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

If the REVIT job under development is linked to a BIMserver.center project via the Open BIM - Revit plugin, using the "Save As" option creates another local folder with the required files in the same location as the original job and with the reference of the new file name.

When cancelling the collaboration with a project, by selecting the "Select the links to keep or delete" checkbox, the Open BIM - Revit plugin displays the list of imported links and allows users to select two options that can be combined:

  • Delete IFC file of the project.

  • Delete the extracted content (DirectShapes).
More information
  • 2024.d

The feature for locking both IFC links and generated DirectShapes has been added, allowing the following:

  • Locking IFC links

    With the IFC links locked, when the project information is updated and the contribution changes, the IFC link will not be updated.

  • Locking extracted content

    With the extracted content locked, the operation cannot be reversed.
More information
  • 2024.d

As of version 2024.d, in the Open BIM - Revit plugin work window, each of the links and their status will be displayed in the following points:

  • Link status

    Shows whether the link is loaded or unloaded.

  • Original IFC status

    Displays the status of the IFC located in the bim_projects folder.

  • Local IFC status

    Displays the status of the IFC located in the local directory folder where the project is stored.

  • Content status

    Displays the status of the extracted contents (DirectShapes) of each of the links.

In the import options, the Open BIM - Revit plugin allows users to select the point where the origin of the IFCs for the selected contributions in the import is entered.

On the other hand, once these are loaded, from the plugin tab, these links can be moved to the reference points in two ways:

  • Moving them all at the same time.
  • Moving each one individually.

  • 2024.d

A new button has been added to the import mapping editing options, which allows users not to import the selected entity and IFC type into the project.

More information
  • 2024.d

As of version 2024.d, in the default import mapping of the Open BIM - Revit plugin, the number of IFC entities to be processed with their corresponding REVIT category assigned has been extended.

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
More information
  • 2024.b

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.

  • 2024.b

From the BIMserver.center project information window (displayed by clicking on the project name shown in the project information bar - upper right part of the application window) you can access the project page of the BIMserver.center platform via a link that has been inserted in the text indicating the project name.

Likewise, from the information window about the project contributions ("Contributions" option in the project information window), users can access the page of each contribution in the BIMserver.center platform. These links are inserted in the texts indicating the name of each contribution.
