4 Minute lesson on the easiest way for Players to Join the
BIMStorm.
This lessons shows how to start your projects and scheme
and use template buildings to land on your site.
The step after this would be to adjust the buildings.

Forum for Communication
An online Forum will be used to communicate. You can view
communication and files from previous BIMStorms and also post your own
comments or questions here:
1-Logging into Onuma Each user gets a user name and password. This is like your
email address and should not be shared, since it gives you access to
your projects and allows you to publish your scheme or share it with
your team. Onuma will be used to broadcast the BIMStorm Program Brief
and will be used to view each team's progress. 2-Create Project and Scheme One person on each team should create a project and share it
as "Teamwork" so others on the team can access it. The creator of this
first scheme, will be the administrator of the team. Make sure to turn
on sharing for Web Services and Reports so that observers can see your
project developing.
After creating a project and scheme, it can be "shared" with your team,
directly with others in the studio, made available through web services
to a selected group or to the world. Sharing schemes is critical, to be
able to support multiple designers and analysts working in real time.
Sharing
Schemes and Reports
3-Edit Spaces How to rapidly edit spaces directly in the Onuma web browser.
This will allow teams to rapidly create options prior to going into
detailed design and share the decisions with their team and the judges. 4-Resolving the Site Design How to move buildings on to the site, and create various
rapid schemes for analysis. 5-Exporting from Onuma How to export various formats from Onuma to view and edit in
other applications. Export formats include: Excel, IFC for BIM, GBXML
for Ecotect, KML for Google Earth and others. Once exported from Onuma
the standalone files can be edited in desktop applications and imported
back to Onuma or exported to other applications, which will be used to
view detailed BIM solutions. Please keep your Onuma scheme current with
the final design. 6-Importing to Google Earth
Google Earth is used to rapidly view massing studies and data coming
from Onuma. These are not only the geometries but also include other
attributes form Onuma such as building name, total area, total energy,
and other attributes for early planning. Visualizing the 3D in Google
Earth allows for rapid viewing of many buildings at one time or a
single building._
7-Creating a Live Network Link from Google Earth to Onuma Separate from downloading the latest Google Earth file from
Onuma, a network link allows for a dynamic connection to your project
data that can be viewed in Google Earth and shared with others. The
dynamic link goes back to the Onuma Model server and "grabs" the latest
schemes as they are worked on in real time.
8-Importing from Excel to Onuma Excel can be used to validate program areas and arrange
spaces that can be imported to Onuma for the automatic creation of a
BIM. Editing can continue in Onuma or multiple imports from Excel are
possible to layer in increasing levels of detail from Excel to Onuma.
9 Reports and Settings How to view reports that include area calculations, cost,
facility information, aggregated site information, and other data that
is created in real time in Onuma while projects are being edited.
Settings can be adjusted to change the assumptions on the project that
affect the cost and other reports. 10 Attaching Comments and Data to Onuma Anyone who has access to shared projects in the studio can
attach comments and files to your BIM. The comments and attachments
become integral to the specific location in the Onuma BIM. For example,
you as the designer may be working on a building and an interior
designer may attach a comment to the conference room on the 2nd floor
with information about carpeting or furniture. This comment is then
part of your project unless you decide to delete it as the owner of the
scheme. You will also get an automatic email alert "BIM Mail" from your
BIM in Onuma that tells you there is a new comment attached. Attaching
Comments and Data 11 Exporting from Onuma to BIM After the initial design studies are completed in Onuma, the
same data can be export to desktop BIM Applications such as Revit,
Archicad, VectorWorks?,
and other IFC capable applicaitons. Onuma
