1 - Set up in OPS™

Data and graphics can be exported from OPS™ to Archicad. Rapid planning in OPS™ can be used in Archicad. Programming requirements for existing or renovation projects can be defined in OPS™ and then exported to Archicad for preparation of construction documents.

2 - Add More Detail in OPS™

Multi floor buildings with spaces that have furniture and equipment can be taken directly from OPS™ into Archicad. In Archicad the model is automatically generated including all the required attributes of spaces and objects. In this way programming and modeling requirements can be managed in OPS™ and can be integrated with desktop BIM applications such as Archicad.

3 - Export to Archicad

Round tripping back from Archicad to OPS™ is also possible using the optional OPS Add On for Archicad available in June 2007, to check the original programming requirements in OPS™ against the proposed plan. Using this method it is also possible to import mutiple schemes or as built models from Archicad into OPS™ and use the database function in OPS™ to manage and search through an entire inventory of facilities.

Using the GSA BIM Guide attributes built into OPS™ it is also possible to check against client specific requirements.
