Test 2A: Creating a Forma Site

Overview

In this test, you'll create a new project site using Forma Site Design.

• Open a Forma Site Design project.
• Create a new Site.
• Specify the Geolocation.
• Add Contextual Data:

• Prepare the Project Site
• Remove Buildings and Roads to be Demolished.
• Create a Terrain Pad.

Steps to Follow

‣

Creating a New Site

💡

When the project opens, the system should display the Project Overview, which gives you options to create:

• Site — design a geolocated site
• Building — shape detailed buildings
• Board — collaborate on a whiteboard

• Click Create a Site.

💡

If Forma opens to one of the other tools instead — Build, Data Management, or others — pull down the Forma menu at the upper left corner of the interface and choose the Design tool from the list of options.

‣

Adding Contextual Data

💡

After you’ve specified the project site area, a window opens with contextual data you can add to the site.

1. Click the + Add button on each of these data sources independently:
• One of the Buildings options:
• Overture Buildings (International)
• USA Structures (USA only)
• Overture Roads
• OpenStreetMap Trees
2. Close the Data Marketplace window.
