Working with the Sketch, Architecture and Furniture tabs

The CYPE Architecture program is divided into 3 main groups: "Sketch", "Architecture" and "Furniture".
CYPE Architecture has been developed on a dual sketch-architecture basis, which allows users to design the initial conception of the building via the "Sketch" feature. Then, it is given an architectural entity by means of the building elements in the "Architecture" tab. Finally, CYPE Architecture offers the possibility of furnishing the building using the "Furniture" tab.

  • Sketch
    This tab includes several features and tools found in traditional modelling programs. These include options for lines, arcs, quadrilaterals, circles, polygons, extrusion, intersection, offset or scaling, among others.

    This tab aims to allow users to freely design the idea of the project, covering both the volumetric conception of the form and uses, as well as the drawing of floor plan layout diagrams.
  • Architecture
    This tab includes standard features and tools from BIM modelling programs such as walls, floor slabs, roofs, railings, louvres, staircases or ramps, among other options.

    From this tab, building elements can be added using the created sketch as a reference.

    Alternatively, you can also model directly from a CAD template.
  • Furniture
    Within this tab, there are several alternatives of furniture, home appliances, sanitary appliances and garden elements that can be incorporated into the BIM model.

    During the architectural design process, creating an approximate layout of the furniture is essential to help end clients understand the design.

    In addition, the furniture added to the BIM model can share information with other programs within the Open BIM workflow.
