Work environment of the "Water Systems" tab
The interface of the "Water Systems" tab of the CYPEPLUMBING program has three tabs at the top with different work environments: "Installation", "Diagrams" and "Bill of quantities". These environments are similar to those in other CYPE tools and have a system of dockable windows that can be customised to adapt the workspace to the project's needs.
"Installation" tab
The "Installation" tab contains a work environment that is used to design the water supply system, both in a 3D view and in any type of 2D view (such as floor plans and elevations). This way, the elements in the system can be entered using the most appropriate view at any given time.
This tab displays the following:
- A top toolbar containing the tools for managing the catalogues and project options; entering and editing the elements of the water supply system (supply connection points, meters, tanks, pumping systems, fittings, collectors, hot water production equipment, heat exchangers and pipes); and analysing, checking and designing the system.
- The work area, on the right-hand side of the screen, where the aforementioned elements are entered, edited and displayed.
- On the left-hand side, several panels with tools for defining the views and levels of the project, managing the visibility of the elements read and configuring the layers and snapping options.
"Diagrams" tab
The "Diagrams" tab contains a work environment that is used to generate diagrams of the water supply system and to create them on sheets in the desired formats.
This tab displays the following:
- The top toolbar contains the tools for generating the water supply system diagrams; entering and editing the elements that make up the diagrams; and adjusting and configuring the general options and symbols.
- The workspace, on the right-hand side of the screen, where the system diagrams are entered, edited and displayed.
- On the left-hand side, a navigation panel between the different diagrams created, which are made up of sheets of editable format and scale.
"Bill of quantities" tab
On the other hand, the "Bill of quantities" tab is used to manage the quantities and bill of quantities of the water supply systems, and displays the following:
- A top toolbar containing the tools for creating and editing the bill of quantities as well as those for managing and creating lists.
- A graphic window with its own toolbar, located on the right-hand side, where the different elements in the job can be viewed.
- A specific area for structuring the bill of quantities, on the left-hand side.
