As of version 2026.b, project files are automatically associated with the corresponding CYPE app in the Windows environment. This means that you simply double-click on the file to open it directly in the appropriate program, without having to select it manually. This improvement streamlines the workflow and provides a smoother and more efficient user experience.
Version 2026.a of StruBIM Shear Walls incorporates tools that can automatically or manually generate drawings with shear wall elevations designed in StruBIM, making it easier to graphically document designs.
As well as the drawings of wall sections, the 2025.d version also implements the drawings of coupling beams.
In this case, the program represents an elevation and a cross-section labelling the perimeter reinforcement of the beam and the diagonals for each beam.
Version 2025.d of StruBIM Shear Walls incorporates tools that allow for the automatic or manual generation of drawings of shear wall sections designed in the program, facilitating the graphical documents of designs.
Under "Generation options" the following can be defined:
By clicking on the "Sheets" icon in the "Documents"’ button group, users can access the sheets editor for the selected wall.
The first time you enter this section, the program asks the user if they want to automatically generate the predefined sheet composition. If the answer is yes, a sheet is created for each section of the wall. The representation of each sheet will depend on the configuration selected in "Generation options", being able to show a detailed drawing of the whole section or a general diagram with specific details for each segment.
The work environment of the sheet editor is similar to that of Open BIM Layout, details of which are available at the following link: https://info.cype.com/en/product/open-bim-layout/. This drawing editor is also integrated with other programs such as CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel.
The automatic generation of the sheet drawings can be performed when accessing the "Sheets" section for the first time or from the "Predefined sheets" option. According to the settings established in "Generation options", the program generates the drawings of the sections together with the labels of the reinforcement.
Each reinforcement package of each segment is shown in the drawing with a tag. In addition, tags are included for the transverse reinforcement bars of the intersections, such as U-bars or L-bars if used.
As of version 2025.d, when clicking the "Share" option of the apps (before starting the generation of the contribution files), a check is made to ensure that the user is part of the BIMserver.center project team. If the user does not have the appropriate permissions, a warning message is displayed. This prevents the generation of unnecessary files when the user does not have editing rights.
As of version 2025.d, the "Project selection" window in the apps connected to BIMserver.center incorporates a new notification system to inform users about the latest new features on the platform.
This space displays relevant messages about new features, enhancements and recommendations related to BIMserver.center. In addition, direct links to documents, tutorials and additional resources will be included to facilitate the adoption of these new features.
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:
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.
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.).
The following modifications have been made to the apps available in the CYPE Menu:
New apps
Deleted apps
As of version 2025.b, applications now display a warning message in their initial window when a new update is available. This message provides information about the "installed version" and the "available version", together with a direct link to the Store page of the BIMserver.center web platform.
Clicking on the “Upgrade to the latest version” button automatically starts the download and installation process of the application. This feature ensures that the most current version of the program is always being used, thus benefiting from the latest improvements.
This method replaces the automatic notification and update process of a new version in the BIMserver.center programs available in previous versions.
In the configuration panel for each application, a direct link to its page in the BIMserver.center web store has been included.
By clicking on the “Go to BIMserver.center Store” button, users are redirected directly to the corresponding page in the Store, where they can learn more about the application, view its features, read reviews from other users and see examples of real contributions.
This feature provides easy access to additional resources and support, enhancing the user experience by providing quick and easy access to all relevant information about the applications.
An information message has been incorporated into the installation button of the applications so that, before proceeding with the installation, users can identify which applications are free to use (free of charge) and which require licensing permissions (including paid modules).
This enhancement improves the user experience by providing clarity and transparency on the options available to the user based on their license model.
