Navigating the Community - Explore, Engage, Belong

Here's a quick guide to navigating the Community space efficiently and confidently.

1. Main Navigation & Sign-in

- In the Community Home Page, four main Sections are visible in the image area:

• Search - The Search bar is powerful and highly recommended.
• Posts - Peer discussions, Community use cases, announcements, practical insights, and personal posts - to make members and their thinking more tangible! 
• Articles - The structured knowledge space: dataflows, workflows, use cases, and practical guidance for working with models and BIM data. Continuously expanding.
• Videos - A quick entry to video content.

- Sign-in is available in the top-right corner. Important to know:

• Anyone who has ever contacted the Simplebim Support just need to request a password.
• New registrations are straightforward here.
• Profiles can be edited after publishing the first Comment or Post: this help create and keep a spirit of trust and recognition among members.

2. Guidelines

The Community is guided by Community Manifesto & Code of Conduct: they set purpose and tone for how exchange shall happen.

3. Posting & Engaging

• New contributions can be created in the "Posts" section. A button "New post" is in the bottom of all "Posts" pages. Before publishing a post, selecting a "Topic" will make it appear it in the relevant discussion.
• Anyone can announce own or other Community-relevant News and Events - and share their participation if they want so. In addition, meeting at events creates strong relationships!
• Upvotes and Comments are welcome and helpful: on one hand, it is for everyone encouraging to see that a post or article resonates with the Community's current work; on the other hand, it helps surface current hot topics.

A note on Participation

💚 There is no pressure to perform and nothing to prove to belong to the Community. Some of us will join with a concrete problem; some will just explore how others are doing. Some will share actively; some will prefer to learn quietly. 

Everyone can find their favourite place. Questions are welcome. Partial answers are respected. Learning and sharing happen at own pace.

Let's build together a Community that feels trustworthy, worth returning to, and capable of growing with its members.
