Accessories

In version 2023.f, the "Accessories" tool has been implemented. This tool allows sections to be edited in order to enter elements at intermediate points. The accessories work dialogue box is similar to the CYPE Connect connection editor. The purpose of this tool is to allow users to insert holes, openings, reinforcements, lifting lugs, etc. with the advantages offered by the connection editor. Just like the connections, the accessories can also be grouped together and saved in a library.

The symbol representing the accessories is a green pyramid, as opposed to the purple pyramid corresponding to the connections.

Align section to plane

A new tool, "Align section to plane" can be found in the "Edit" menu. This tool allows users to align a selection of sections to a plane. For example, this could be useful when placing the purlins of a roof in line with the top face of the main beams.

After selecting the sections to be aligned, right-click the mouse and select the plane from the faces of the sections and plates in the model.
