The first step in designing with Forma is to create a project.
00:14
From the Home page in your Forma Hub, select New project.
00:18
You are prompted to select a map area.
00:21
The map area defines where you add your model and run analyses.
00:25
Once selected, a terrain model is created.
00:29
To select a map area, enter an address, area name, or coordinates into the search field.
00:36
From the area options, select the appropriate area.
00:40
The map updates, automatically zooming into the selected area.
00:45
Here, you can toggle between the roadmap or a hybrid map.
00:49
Once zoomed into an area, you can continue to perform a text search for a different area or a more precise location.
00:57
The designated map area appears framed by a square boundary.
01:02
When you zoom out beyond the maximum allowed area,
01:05
the map area boundary box will disappear.
01:09
Notice that, as you zoom or pan, in the Map area and terrain panel,
01:14
the Selected area coordinates and area values update accordingly.
01:18
Once your map area is ready, click Confirm map area.
01:23
After loading, both the canvas and the Order data dialog display.
01:27
Here, choose which data you want to use in your project.
01:31
The data quality and availability to order varies by country and region.
01:36
You can select from buildings, terrain, roads, property boundaries, or any combination of these kinds of data.
01:45
In this instance, the Open City Model is selected.
01:48
This opens the Open City Model details.
01:51
Review the details, and then click Order.
01:55
If the map area you selected is too large, you will have the option to select a smaller map area using control grips to adjust the boundary.
02:05
Once you do, select Order once more.
02:09
In addition to ordering data from the suggested providers, you can import your own data or existing models.
02:18
Return to the Order data dialog, and then open the Import tab.
02:22
Here, you can drag and drop data files to import to the project.
02:27
Supported filetypes include OBJ, IFC, DXF, and raster images.
02:34
Once you have data ordered, close the Order data dialog.
02:39
The canvas now displays the map area and the data.
02:43
To review the status of the data in the project, from the sidebar, select Library.
