Manufacturers’ library
CYPE Architecture incorporates product libraries from different manufacturers so that they can be downloaded for use in the BIM model generated by the program.
Manufacturers’ library: "Architecture" tab
Within the "Catalogues" section of the "Architecture" tab, the "Carpentry", "Glazing" and "Finishes" catalogues are available for download.
After they are downloaded, they can be updated or deleted, as required, to have the desired catalogues available for each project.
Once they have been downloaded, they can be used in their corresponding sections.
