How to use OPS for the Build London Live BIMStorm
1-Logging into Onuma Planning System 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. OPS will be used to broadcast the Build London Live Program Brief
on June 24, 2008 and will be used to view each team's progress during
the 48 hour period. 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. 3-Edit Spaces How to rapidly edit spaces directly in the OPS 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 OPS How to export various formats from OPS 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 OPS the
standalone files can be edited in desktop applications and imported
back to OPS or exported to other applications such as Asite, which will
be used to view detailed BIM solutions. Please keep your OPS scheme
current with the final design. This will allow aggregated reports of
all your buildings as well as allow judges to see your projects in the
proper context. 6-Importing to Google Earth
Google Earth is used to rapidly view massing studies and data coming
from OPS. These are not only the geometries but also include other
attributes form OPS 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 OPS Separate from downloading the latest Google Earth file from
OPS, 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 OPS Model server and "grabs" the latest schemes as
they are worked on in real time.
8-Importing from Excel to OPS Excel can be used to validate program areas and arrange
spaces that
can be imported to OPS for the automatic creation of a BIM. Editing can
continue in OPS or multiple imports from Excel are possible to layer in
increasing levels of detail from Excel to OPS.
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 OPS 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 OPS 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 OPS 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
OPS that tells you there is a new comment attached. Attaching
Comments and Data 11 Exporting from OPS to BIM After the initial design studies are completed in OPS, the
same
data can be export to desktop BIM Applications such as Revit, Archicad,
VectorWorks?,
and other IFC capable applicaitons. OPS
