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.

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.

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.

The status information bar of the BIMserver.center project is located at the top right of the window of the programs included in the Open BIM workflow. This bar has been available in the applications since version 2022.e and shows a warning icon when there is a problem with the connection to the project, as well as other things. Now, in version 2024.b, users can obtain more information about the warning by hovering the mouse cursor over the icon.

As of version 2024.b, users can create projects associated with a "BIMserver.center Corporate" account from all CYPE applications included in the Open BIM workflow. To do this, the "Owner" field has been added to the window for creating a new project. This is a drop-down menu that includes, as one of the available options, the logged-in BIMserver.center user name along with the "BIMserver.center Corporate" accounts to which it has access. When selecting the user name as the owner, the project will be associated with this personal account, as was the case in previous versions. On the other hand, if a BIMserver.center Corporate account is selected, the project will be associated with that account.

The "Clear cache" button has been added to the CYPE applications included in the Open BIM workflow in the "Configuration" dialogue box that opens with the following sequence of commands: Select any of the options in the "BIMserver.center" tool group > "Configuration" option in the dialogue box that appears. When clicking on "Clear cache", the following options are displayed:

  • Projects
    Deletes projects, contributions and documents downloaded from the platform that are in the "File directory stored in local cache".

  • Sessions
    Deletes the data of any active sessions. This action will require applications to be re-authorised to access BIMserver.center.

  • Log files
    Deletes transaction logging from applications with BIMserver.center.

In previous versions, file paths used by applications were limited to a maximum length of 256 characters. This restriction is not specific to CYPE tools but is set by default in the Windows file system. As of version 2024.b, CYPE applications can bypass the restriction and allow the use of an extended path length for a maximum total path length of 10,000 characters. This eliminates the problems caused by the default limit and allows users to work with long access paths.

This improvement is particularly useful when working on projects with a complex directory structure or with long file names. By allowing longer paths, CYPE applications offer greater flexibility in file organisation.

As of version 2024.a, the following applications are also available in Russian:

  • CYPE 3D

As of version 2024.a, when sharing the model on the BIMserver.center platform, users now have the option to share sheets, quantities reports and connection check reports.

If the "Sheets" tab in the "Share" dialogue box is activated, the selected sheets will be exported in PDF or DXF/DWG format. Another option is to export all sheets in a single file or each sheet in a single file ("Export mode" option located at the end of the "Share" dialogue box).

If the "Reports" tab (next to the "Sheets" tab) is activated, users can also export the connection check report and the quantities report.

New data has been added to the information tags that are displayed on screen when the cursor hovers over the connection elements:

  • In plates
    As well as the operation reference, the material, thickness and dimensions are displayed when the plate is rectangular.
  • In welds
    As well as the operation reference, the weld type, electrode reference, thickness and throat length are displayed when it is a fillet weld.
  • In bolts and cast-in anchors
    As well as the operation reference, the type is displayed, which includes the series reference and diameter, and the material.
  • In post-installed anchors
    As well as the operation reference, the manufacturer's reference and the anchor reference are displayed.
  • In sections
    As well as the reference and dimensions of the section, the material is displayed.

Keep previously defined operations

Up until version 2024.a, when importing a library connection, the list of previously defined operations was cleared. As of version 2024.a, users are given the option to keep the previously defined operations when importing a library connection by activating the "Keep previously defined operations" option. This option is disabled by default.

When importing a connection and keeping the previous operations, if there are already operations with similar references, the prefix B, B1, B2, etc. shall be added to the new operations.

This improvement allows users to import the same library connection several times in the same node or to import several different library connections.

Compatible connections

As of version 2024.a, library connections will be compatible and can be imported even if the section types are different, and even if the sections are different with respect to the "continuous" or "non-continuous" section option.

Matching connections

As of version 2024.a, the import panel of library connections will mark connections with a "=" symbol if their section layout is the same as that of the node.
