CYPE Architecture’s interface is minimalist and intuitive. This way it helps new users to quickly adapt to these ecosystem.

Below the Title Bar we have the Menu and icons bar, with three options to choose: Sketch, Architecture and Furniture. These are the tools to create, edit and insert elements. You also have other bars with several options to select.

• Sketch: using traditional tools, complex shapes can be drawn and created in 2 or 3 dimensions to develop the conceptual design

• Architecture: It allows you to insert the structural and architectural elements to create the model. Such as walls, columns, beams, floors, doors, windows, among others. With this tab, you can use the previously created sketch to assign an element or an architectural entity to each of its parts. You also can directly start to build your BIM model from a CAD template.

Architectural elements can be customized. For example, for a door you can choose its dimensions, type of opening and handle, glazed opening and the colour of its parts.

• Furniture: it allows you to insert the furniture in a 3D model to get an idea of the distribution of the spaces. This way you can give the desired finishing touches to get plans or renderings. These pieces of furniture are able to interact with other programs within the Open BIM workflow of BIMserver center.

Like architectural elements, each furniture has its own customization options.
