BIMserver.center has exceeded 100 Open BIM software in its repertoire, with more and more workflow possibilities arising on the platform. Nothing is more inline with the “Open BIM Proposal”, since flexibility and communication between the different programs are two of it’s highlights. There are several ways to start a new project on the platform and in this article, we go through some of them:
Starting a new Open BIM project with Autodesk Revit
Creating a model with CYPECAD
In most architecture and structure projects, the link between the two facets is born from the moment the building is imagined. In these cases, the previous generation of the structural model could be an interesting reference for later architectural development.
CYPECAD can also be the initiator of an Open BIM project, to which then architecture and other disciplines can be aligned. You can export to IFC from the “BIMserver.center” menu, in the upper right corner, in the “Beam definition” tab.

Creating a model with CYPECAD MEP
CYPECAD MEP is a powerful integrated BIM software for the calculation of building installations. One of its great advantages is the development of an architectural envelope rich in technical details, thermal, acoustic, fire protection, and cost-related parameters. This same building envelope developed in CYPECAD MEP can also be used as an “Initial project” in BIMserver.center. To do this you will need to click on the “Export” menu and select the “Link to an Open BIM project” option.

From any IFC model through IFC Uploader
Any project developed in IFC can be used to start a new project in BIMserver.center using the IFC Uploader application. Projects developed through software such as ARCHICAD, Allplan, Bentley, etc can be “New Initial Projects” as long as IFC formats are used. Before using the IFC Uploader, create a new project on the BIMserver.center platform through the “Create new project” key, as this will allow you to use the application to upload your IFC file to the online server.
