Onuma and ArchiCAD

• Save Time! Use Onuma to quickly associate data to graphics and rapidly plan and test many scenarios before you start work in ArchiCAD
• Maintain Integrity! Your project's program requirements and data is maintained between Onuma and ArchiCAD including both 2D and 3D:
  • Buildings
  • Floors
  • Spaces
  • Furniture and Equipment
• Save Knowledge! With Onuma you can maintain your whole catalog of ArchiCAD projects so you can access them anytime or anywhere with an internet connection
• Keep Projects Organized! Onuma can manage the data of one building or a whole campus of buildings in a single scheme

1 - Set up in Onuma

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

2 - Add More Detail in Onuma

Multi-floor buildings with spaces that have furniture and equipment can be taken directly from Onuma 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 Onuma and can be integrated with desktop BIM applications such as ArchiCAD.

3 - Export to ArchiCAD

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

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