Basic Mode

Basic Mode enables the calculation and analysis of very large project areas, making it ideal for regional planning (e.g., urban expansion, flood risk, transportation, energy, and sustainability).

Characteristics

The characteristics for a Basic Mode Project are:

• A Project must be created as a Detail level: Basic. It is not possible to change whether a Project is a Basic Mode Project later on.
• A Basic Mode Project will still be counted as license usage, but only for 1/25 the usual size. A Basic Mode Project of 50km² will count for 2km².
• The maximum size of a Basic Mode depends on both your license and the hardware used. If you can normally create 30x30 km projects, you can create a 180x180km project in Basic Mode.

Optimizations

To support very large areas, Basic Mode includes several project and software optimizations:

• The minimum calculation grid size is set to 5x5m, although larger Grid Cells are still possible.
• The elevation model is automatically set to a resolution of 10m.
• The Satellite resolution is set to 2m.
• The Project sources used for building a Basic Mode project are: Esri, AHN4, BRO, CBS, Top10NL, NWB, BAG and BRP. Custom 3D models (such as 3D BAG and I3S) will not be available during Project generation.
• Buildings smaller than 10m² are automatically culled from the Project data whenever the Project is saved.
