Connections library

The connections library allows connections to be saved and applied to other nodes in the same job or other jobs. This library is common to CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel. The “Import”, “Export” and “Connections library” options can be accessed from the connection editing panel.

• Import
  Joints between structural elements modelled in StruBIM Steel can be saved in a local library and reused in other projects. This library is compatible with CYPE Connect.
• Export
  This tool allows a connection to be saved in the job's connection library with a reference, description and thumbnail image for identification. The connections exported to the connections library also save the sheets that have been defined, so that the work invested in creating the detailing sheet of the connection can be used for similar connections when applying a connection available in the library.
• Connections library
  The connection library includes a thumbnail view of the connection, a reference and a description. A 3D view is also displayed where the connection can be moved, shifted and orbited.

The top part shows the options related to the management of this library:

• Import elements saved on disk into the job
• Update the elements used in the project
• Export the element to a file
• Select a file with initial values for the creation of a new job
