I have never used Gorm, but I can tell you how to achive this in Interface 
Builder (asuming that it is not much different from Gorm):

- click the classes tab in the window containing the nibs
- choose Classes>Read Files... from the menu -> that imports your classes 
into IB
- if your class is a direct subclass of NSObject choose 
Classes>Instanciate YourClassNameHere from the menus
- otherwise create an Instance of a class that is a superclass of your 
class (click the instances tab in the nib-window and drag an instance from 
the palette to it. Choose Tools>Show Info from the menus. An inspector 
appears. Choose Custom Class from the popup menu. A list of classes 
containing your imported classes appears. Select your class). However IB 
just creates a proxy instance of your object since it doesn't know it 
internals. For the same reason you cannot manipulate all aspects of your 
object graphically in IB.

Hope I brought some insight, Lars
