Addition Information for Printing:

Basic Print Example with all print settings checked.

• If printed to PDF, the drawing can be re-opened in Adobe Illustrator and scaled to any size without loss of quality since it is a vector drawing.
• Move/zoom the plan into position with the pan/zoom tools.
• Change size of font using the font keys.

Print Example with Space Attributes turned on first, view & legend rotated, and certain print options unchecked.

• Note that whatever your current view settings are in OPS (Space Attributes turned on like the above picture) is what will show up in the print window, so change these settings first before you click print.
• Currently, all printing is done to 8 1/2 inch x 11 inch portrait format. If you wish to print to a landscape (horizontal) format, you may rotate the plan and/or the legend.
• Move the North Arrow and the Legend simply by dragging them (the invisible area around the legend sometimes can overlap the north arrow).
• Uncheck whatever parts that shouldn't be printed.

BIM Gallery

NOTE: This opens a filtered view of the BIM Gallery. It shows only attachments, preset views and images related to that floor or any of its spaces or the space itself (at space level). If the icon is dimmed, it means that nothing is associated with the floor or the spaces. This is also a quick way to see if any comment or files have been attached to a specific floor or space. You can remove the filter to see the full BIM Gallery for that scheme.

Display and Hide (Layer Control)

Display and Hide is like layers in drafting programs, it is basically the ability to turn on and off parts of your Onuma Scheme. This is done on the control Panel to the right. At all three Onuma Scheme Levels; Site, Floor, and Space you have the ability to filter what you see in the Graphical Window, simply by checking things on or off.

For example, if you needed to view the Sketch lines on the Floor Plan but the Spaces were obstructing your view of those lines, you could Hide the spaces by unchecking them in the Control Panel.

Turn the Spaces back on by Checking the box.
