Quick start
Working in the paper space: Creating sheets
and loading templates
Open BIM Layout is a tool made to create project drawings, thus, the interface of the
programme is centred on working with “Sheets”.
In order to start working in Open BIM Layout, the first step is to create a “New sheet” and
choose the paper size format on which the plan will be depicted.
Open BIM Layout / 4
The sheet can be given
a name and added to a group. The programme allows the loading
of a template, for example, a haunch.
The sheet will be drawn on the interface and its size will be displayed in the upper righthand part of the interface.
2.2
Inserting project models: 3D Scene
Once the sheet is created, the next step in setting up the drawing is to introduce the model.
To do this, select the Library function found in the 3D Scene button.
The library allows the creation of scenes which can later be inserted into the sheets. Every
scene can contain different views and categories of elements. It is possible to choose which
elements will be displayed in each sheet via the Outline panel.
To insert a scene in the sheet, you must click Insert in 3D Scene and draw a box where you
want to insert the new scene.
Once the box is drawn, it is possible to choose the desired scene and view. In addition, you
can choose between various additional options such as scale, editing and printing image
quality, and colour or m
onochrome drawing modes, among others.
From this panel you can also choose a point of view, rotate the scene, and more.
Open BIM Layout / 5
2.3
How to extract information from the 3D
Scene: Tags and Tables
The models stored on the BIMserver.center platform are not only graphical
representations of a project, but also contain information. This information is accessible in
Open BIM Layout via the Tag and Table functions.
“Tag” and “Table” allow us to extract the data associated with every element in the model.
After clicking the Tag or Table buttons, and then clicking on a model element, its
information will be displayed in text format.
2.4
How to draw on sheets: Layers, drawing
elements and styles
By using the drawing elements of Open BIM Layout you can compose your project sheets.
All drawing elements contain line, text, fill and dimension styles, and will be associated with
a given layer. The drawing elements can also be grouped. The programme allows us to
create templa
tes from the drawing elements.
The drawing elements are as follows:
Drawing. Inserts lines, arcs, polygons, ellipses, and rectangles.
Dimension. The dimensions snap onto the 3D scene of the sheet.
Open BIM Layout / 6
Tables. Inserts personalised tables into the sheet.
Text. Inserts text in the form of lines or boxes.
Styles allow for control of the display and printing properties of lines, texts, fills and
dimensions, such as pen thickness and printing colour.
2.5
How to insert external files
The Open BIM Layout programme allows external files, such as images and DWG/DXF files
to be inserted. To insert a file, go to the library and select the file you want to import.
If the imported file is CAD, the pen thickness, print colour, and identification colour can be
edited via the button Layers of inserted DXF or DWG files.
2.6
How to print project sheets
Once the project sheets are assembled, you can print in Open BIM Layout.
Click on the Print button and selec
t the sheets and device through which you want to print
the drawings. The programme will notify you in the Status column if any of the introduced
elements are outside of the printing area.
Open BIM Layout / 7
The programme allows you to print in the following ways:
Local printer. Use a printer or other local device in order to print your files.
PDF printing. Export your files to PDF and add them to your prescriptive
specifications.
Other printing options. The programme allows users to print in partial vector DWG
and DXF format.

Step by step
3.1
Tour of the interface
The Open BIM Layout programme interface is divided into three parts: the upper toolbar,
the panel on the left side of the screen, and the sheet in the centre.
Toolbar. From here you are able to create and load templates, edit printing styles,
draw elements, insert 3D scenes, introduce images or .dwg files, dimension, and create
and load symbols, among other functions.
Left-side panel. Contains two main functions: create and manage the project sheets,
and manage the drawing layers.
Sheet display. The programme interface that is centred on the sheet of paper where
the project is assembled.
Other bars. There is an additional small bar at the very top of the programme, and
another on the bottom. Both bars are found in all CYPE programmes and contain
functions such as screen capture, dimensioning upon the introduction of an element,
description of the next steps to follow, and more.

sheet
Gridlines
The Open BIM interface is designed to facilitate the
composition of sheets for the completion of your
project, where all of the assembly is done on the sheet
of paper.
The sheets are managed via the upper part of the leftside panel of the interface. From the “Sheets” section,
you can edit, create, copy and delete sheets. It is also
possible to activate or deactivate the
gridlines and print
the templates in different formats (See section 3.10
Printing).
Steps to create a new sheet:
1. Click the New sheet button.
2. Write a reference or name for the sheet.
3. Add the sheet to a group if you wish.
4. Choose between standard DIN and ANSI formats
or choose the sheet size manually.
5. Lastly, you can load a template and select
its template layer.
These steps will add the new sheet to the list of sheets on the left-side panel. From here,
you can move between the sheets and assemble your project.
3.3
New
layer
Layers
Open BIM Layout operates with a system of layers allowing
the user to organise the drawing as they wish. The layers
contain the following drawing elements: lines, text, 3D
scenes, and external files, among others.
The layer objects can be changed via the Assign to layers
button. It is also possible to manage imported DWG/DXF
object layers via the Layers of inserted DWG or DXF files
button.

3.4
Templates
The Open BIM Layout programme allows the user to create or import
templates for use in their sheets, which saves time drawing by letting the
user reuse their templates in future projects. The included example
templates can also be used.
Creating templates
3.4.1
A template is made up of drawing elements: lines, texts, images, etc. Templates are
created from a layer in the “Layers” section of the side panel. To create a template you
must insert all of the drawing elements into the same layer.
Steps to create a new template:
1. Create a new layer where the template will be drawn.
2. Draw the template with the drawing elements.
3. Click on the Create button.
4. Chose a reference name for the template and the object layer where the
template was drawn in order to load it.
These steps will add the template to the Open BIM Layout template library which is
found by clicking on the Library button. These templates can be later loaded into other
sheets
and projects.
Inserting templates
3.4.2
From the Insert button, templates previously created and saved in the Open BIM Layout
project can be loaded. Different methods exist to load a template. It is important to
remember that templates are normally designed for a specific paper size.
Load a template into a new sheet. When creating a new sheet, you can directly load
one of the templates available in the programme into the sheet.
Load the template into an already created sheet. If you have previously created a
sheet and now want to insert a template, click on the Import button and select the
template.
Load a template into another project. If you want to load the project template into a
different project, you must first export the template from the template library. By
doing this you can locally save the templates you create in order to be reused in other
projects.
Open BIM Layout / 11
3.4.3
Template library
From the template library it is possible to view and mana
ge the project templates. In this
section you can save the templates created locally using the Export the element to a file
button to be able to use it later in other projects.
With the Import elements saved in the drive to the project button, a template that has
been saved locally is loaded.
3.5
Styles
Styles allow you to define display and printing values of drawing
elements for a correct visual representation. It is possible to edit line,
text, dimension and fill styles; and to create custom styles, save them
and use them later for other projects.
1. Line. Line type, scale factor, pen thickness, printing colour, and identification colour.
2. Text. Font, size, style, and printing colour.
3. Fill. Type, hatch spacing, pen thickness, printing colour, and identification colour.
4. Dimension. Initial and final symbol, symbol size, origin offset, text with units, font,
and print colour.
3.6
Drawing elements
The drawing elements section allows the insertion of a wide variety of drawi
ng elements on
the sheet such as a line or 3D scene, or even tags, texts and tables. Below, the main
drawing elements are described.
Open BIM Layout / 12
3.6.1
Lines, arcs, rectangles, ellipses and polygons

bles from scratch, and
also the extraction of information from the "3D Scene" in the form of a table. From the
"Table" panel you can manage texts, lines and fills, as well as the rows and columns of
the table.
Steps to create a "table" with information from the "3D Scene":
1. Click the Table button.
2. Click on an element of the 3D scene, as you can see
the elements in the scene are now able to snap.
3. A panel will open automatically with a new table that contains
the available information about the element.
4. The table and its data can be changed from this panel.
5. Click Accept on the panel. The table will be inserted onto
the sheet.
6. Now you can move the table and arrange it on the sheet by
clicking and dragging any of the green points on the perimeter.
3.6.4
3D Scene
3D scenes are one of the most important drawing elements in Open BIM Layout. This
function allows you to insert views of 3D models hosted on the BIMserver.center platform
thanks to the Open BIM workflow.
3D Sce
nes library:
From here you can create and manage scenes,
create views, and choose the model elements to
be displayed in each scene. Scenes can be
viewed in conic or axonometric perspective.
Open BIM Layout / 16
Steps to create 3D scenes:
1. Access the Library of "3D Scene".
2. Click the New button in the upper-left part of the window.
A new scene consisting of the building floors and a 3D view
will be automatically created.
3. You can change the name of the scene by double clicking on
it.
4. The "Views" panel located on the right side of the window
allows you to create, edit, and delete views.
5. Create a new view using the Create button on the "Views"
panel. Choose the type of view you wish to create from
those available in the list.
a. If you have chosen "Floor" or "Reflected ceiling", select
the point on the screen where you want the view to
be situated. This will automatically create a new view
at the selected elevation.
b. If you have chosen "Section" or "Elevation", first
choo
se the section plane and then the view direction.
6. To change the display range of the newly created view, you
must double click on the name of the view.

"Outline" panel. From this panel you can view and hide
floors, different models stored on BIMserver.center, or the
various element categories.
8. You can make the "Outline" section elements display as
transparent or as wire drawings by right-clicking on them.
9. To finish editing the scenes "Library", click Accept in the
lower-left of the window.
Open BIM Layout / 17
Inserting 3D scenes:
Once the scenes are created, it is time to insert them
into the sheet. The Insert option in “3D Scenes”
allows you to choose the scene, the scale, the colour
or the printing image quality, among others options.
Steps to insert a 3D scene:
1. To insert a scene, click on the Insert button
within the "3D Scene" section.
2. Double-clicking on the screen introduces a box
which contains t
he scene inside of the sheet
space.
3. Upon the second click, two panels open automatically, with "Properties" on the
right and "Tools" above.
4. In the "Properties" panel:
a. Choose the scene that you wish to insert from the drop-down menu
"Scene".
b. Select the scene view that you wish to insert from the drop-down menu
"View".
c. Choose a scale for your model: depending on zoom, scale divider, or
predefined from a list.
d. Next choose if you want to view the document in Normal or
Monochrome mode, from the drop-down menu "Mode".
e. Choose the editing and printing image quality of the document.
f.
Select the section fill colour.
g. Apply a frame to the scene if you wish.
5. If desired, the tool panel can be used to:
a. Change the projection type, rotate, and section the model without
having to go to the library.
b. Print the current scene individually at the resolution chosen by the user.
Open BIM Layout / 18
Once the scene has been inserted, it is fixed on the sheet as an image.
From the "Insert
scenes" panel, both the display quality within the programme and the print quality can be
chosen. The display quality and the print quality may not correspond on screen, as print
quality is always higher than display quality.
3.6.5
Inserting external files
Open BIM Layout allows the insertion of external files, such as images and vector drawings,
in order to complete the project information. The programme imports the following
formats: dxf, .dwg, .dwf, .jpeg, .jpg, .bmp, .wmf, .emf, .pcx.
It is important to know that .dxf/.dwf also import layers. From the Layers of inserted DXF
or DWG files option in the section "Layers", the programme allows you to modify the
thickness and colour of a layer's lines while using this file type.
The Insert files button is divided into two functions: the Library of external files, from
where the files are imported into the programme, and the Insert option, for choosing the
size and position of the element being inserted.
Steps to impor
t files into the "Library"
1. Enter the "Library" from the Insert files button.
2. Click the Add button found in the upper-left part of the window.
3. A panel will automatically open where you can select the file stored on your
computer that you wish to import.
4. Click the Open button.
5. If you have inserted a .dxf or .dwg file, you can edit the layers that you wish to
import, the scale, and the rotation of the file.
Open BIM Layout / 19
Steps to insert "External files”:
1. Press Insert from the button Insert files.
2. From the "Properties" panel, choose the file you wish to insert.
3. The scale can be changed from "Dimensions and frame".
4. You can choose different insertion points of the file.
5. If you wish, you can include a frame and choose its line type.
3.6.6
User symbols
“User symbols" are created from "Drawing elements" and can be, for
example, people, trees, geographic north, title blocks, and more. It is
possible to create a "User symbol" by using lines, arcs, pol
ygons, texts, and
tables.
Within the User symbols button three options exist: Library, Create and
Insert. The "user symbols" can be saved locally in order to be used later in
other "sheets" or projects via the Library option.
Steps to create "User symbols”:
1. From the User symbols button, choose the Create option.
2. Select the drawing elements on the screen that will make up the symbol.
Select a "group" of drawing elements, or select the drawing elements by clicking and
dragging a box around them.
3. Enter the reference for the symbol and press accept.
4. The new user symbol will be added to the "library" automatically.
From the Library of user symbols it is
possible to see the symbols that are loaded
into the project, as well as import and export
the user symbols to be reused in other
projects.
Once the drawing elements that make up a
"user symbol" are introduced, they can be
edited individually. For example, it is
possible to edit the style of a line or a text.
Open BIM Layout
/ 20
Steps to Insert "user symbols”:
1. To be able to load a "user symbol", you must have already created one, or loaded
one from the "library”.
2. Click on the User symbols button and choose the Insert option.
3. From the "Reference" section of the panel, choose the symbol that you wish to
insert from the drop-down list.
4. You can see the user symbol that will be inserted in the lower part of the panel.
5. You can insert the symbol with an angle, as well as choose from which point you
want to insert it.
6. To insert the symbol, click on the screen.
7. You can insert the symbol as many times as you want.
8. To stop inserting "user symbols", click the right mouse button.
3.7
Dimensioning
Open BIM Layout allows you to dimension the scenes of your
project to generate all of the necessary information in your
drawings. Remember that you can modify the dimension styles
from the "dimensions" section within the "styles" group: start and
end symbol, symbol size, origin offset, units, f
ont, print colour, and
line type.
3.7.1
Perpendicular and oblique dimension
Two types of dimensions exist in Open BIM Layout, perpendicular and oblique. The main
difference between the two is that the oblique dimension allows you to choose the
direction in which you want to draw the dimension.
It is important to know that the dimensions can measure either the "real distance" or
"apparent distance" of the inserted 3D scene. For example, if there is a roof 2m in length
with a 30% slope, the "real distance" would be 2m and the "apparent distance" would be
1.92m. The "apparent distance" is, thus, the projection of the "real distance" on the plane
of a given view.
Open BIM Layout / 21
Steps to create "perpendicular dimensions":
1. Click on Perpendicular dimension in the "Dimension"
group.
2. You can choose "real distance" or "apparent distance"
in the scene.
3. Choose the "text position" of the dimension with respect
to its line.
4. Choose the "styles" of the dimension and line.
5. Cli
ck to make the first point of the dimension.
6. Click to make the second point of the dimension.
7. Extend the dimension laterally to set a distance from
the origin of the insertion.
Steps to create "oblique dimensions":
1. Click on Oblique dimension in the "Dimension" group.
2. You can choose "real distance" or "apparent distance" in the scene.
Normally, it is dimensioned with the "real distance" unless it is intended to
dimension a sloping element such as a roof where the "apparent distance" will be
used.
3. Choose the "text position" of the dimension with respect to its line.
4. Choose the "styles" of the dimension and dimension lines.
5. Click to make the first point of the dimension.
6. Click to make the second point of the dimension.
7. Click on the first point to set the direction the dimension will extend to.
8. Then, click on the second point to set the direction the dimension will extend to.
9. Extend the dimension laterally to set a distance from the origin of the insertion
.
Open BIM Layout / 22
3.7.2
Area
The Area function can be found within the dimension group of
the toolbar. With this feature it is possible to measure surfaces in
the 3D Scene and output their area in text format.
Steps to dimension "Areas":
1. To measure an area you must draw the polygon that contains
it by clicking on the elements of the 3D scene on the screen.
2. While introducing, and using the Edit button, you can choose
the styles of the line and fill for both the text box as well as
the polygon that defines the surface.
3. One by one, click the points that define the surface that you
wish to extract the area measurement from.
Once the surface is closed, choose where to insert the text
with the area measurement.
4. Add a text manually if you wish, this text will be accompanied
by the area measurement.
5. Click Accept on the panel, and the measurement with the text and the polygon
containing the surface will appear drawn on the sheet.
3.8
Organising
The "Organisation" grou
p contains the necessary tools to
control the order of overlapping drawing elements. In the
"Organisation" group there are five functions: bring to front,
send to back, move forward, move backwards, and compact.
Bring to front. Puts the selected element in the frontmost position among all other overlapping elements.
Send to back. Puts the selected element in the last-most position among all other
overlapping elements.
Move forward. Moves the selected element one place forward among all other
overlapping elements.
Move backwards. Moves the selected element one place backwards among all
other overlapping elements.
Compact. Reduces the space between the drawing elements as much as possible
while maintaining the relative order between them.
