Onuma to ArchiCAD 10 / 13 / 14

Onuma, Inc. created a special Add-On for ArchiCAD 10/13/14 (only on PC) that allows greater interoperable workflows between Onuma and your ArchiCAD BIM files. The Add-on supports roundtrip import / export capabilities between these two applications. You may choose to work from either program first.

First, download the Onuma ArchiCAD 10/13/14 Add-On from the Plugins section on the Onuma Studios Page and unzip the file.

Then, simply drag and drop the BIMXML.apx into the Add-Ons folder in your ArchiCAD 10/13/14 program file (The path to this folder would be similar to this, but will vary depending on how ArchiCAD 10/13/14 was install on your system: C:Program FilesGraphisoftArchiCAD XAdd-Ons).

The next time you launch ArchiCAD, you should see Onuma System listed among the other ArchiCAD pull-down menus.

NOW:
