Revision as of 15:03, 21 June 2021

This handout can be used for a quickstart training on the basics of the Tygron Platform.

How to use: Advise is to print this handout and use it during the training to take notes on. Afterwards, you will have a summary of what you have learned during the training.

Note: This handout is not a complete standalone tutorial but provides a guide for during a training. For a tutorial, see the Demo Basics project

The subjects in this hand out are:

  • Domain management
  • Create a new project
  • Save, versions and user rights and user interface
  • Overlays
  • Buildings
  • Indicators
  • Actions

Domain management

  • Log in with your user name and password on the Tygron Platform, the LTS.
  • Click in the main menu on Options. When you are domain admin, you will see more options since you have extra rights such as adding new users and removing projects from the domain.

Options main menu.png

  • Click on My Account. In this menu you can change the (automatically generated) password.
  • You can also change the rights of projects which you have created. A project can have read rights (right to only open the project, but not save edits), write (right to edit and save edits) and none (the project is not visible for users and they cannot access it). It is also possible to change the version of your project.

  • Provide a name for the New Project (max 20 characters) and click on Empty Project.

Name new project handout.png

  • For the location, fill in a location of your choice and click on Enter. Move the square with the left mouse button. The area of the map in the square will be your 3D world. With the sliders on the right side, it is possible to enlarge the square. However, the smaller the square is, the faster the 3D world will be generated. For the following steps, choose a size of max 2 x 2 km.
  • Then click on Advanced Options

  • Finally click on generate map to generate the 3D world from open data.

Save, versions and user rights and user interface

  • Once you first get in the project, the project starts with a Cinematic (flythrough over the project area).
  • The Editor interface (recognizable by the white menus around the 3D world) is divided into the Ribbon, the Left Panel, Right Panel and Bottom Panel.

Q1-2016-EditorPanel.jpg

  • Click on the File button in the upper left corner to go to the main menu of the project.

File project.png

  • In the Edit rights section you can change the rights. By default the owner is the only person which has access to the project and can edit and save the project. Change the rights in the Other users domain section in order for other users in your domain to access your project. When you have a Support question and would like Tygron to take a look into your project, you can change the rights for Tygron Support. By default Tygron does not have access to your project.
  • In the Save menu you can save the project.

  • In the Versions menu you can add a new version. Change (if desired) the name of the version. It is strongly advised to work with different versions when editing a project.
  • Click on the arrow to go back to the project.

Project versions.png

  • In the interface you will see the Current Situation tab, in where you can edit the current situation of the model.

Overlays

Overlays are 2D maps, visible on top of the 3D world.

  • By default, several overlays are added to the Overlay bar. Click on the Neighborhoods overlay to see the CBS Wijk- en Buurtkaart. By clicking on one of the Neighborhoods you will see statistics about the Neighborhood from the CBS in the hover panel.

  • By clicking on the house icon (named the City Overlay), you will return to the normal 3D world.
  • The bord icon shows the Property overlay.

  • There are a lot more Overlays which can be added. This can be done as follows: click on the Current Situation tab and hover over the Overlays button. Then add for example the Traffic noise from the Environment category. Now a map which shows the noise disturbance by traffic is added.

Add traffic noise overlay.PNG

  • This overlay is a dynamic overlay or grid overlay. The map is divided into grid cells. On each grid cell a value is calculated (in this case the traffic noise disturbance in dB). The smaller the grid cells are, the more accurate the overlay is. Change the grid cell size of the overlay by selecting the overlay from the left panel and then clicking on Change grid in the right panel.

  • When Auto update is on, the overlay is automatically being recalculated. When auto update is off, after changing the grid cell value click on Update now in the right panel (below Change grid).
  • Hover again on the Overlay button and select from the Water category the Rainfall Overlay to add this rainfall overlay to the project. The Rainfall overlay can be configured with the Configuration wizard.

Buildings

The 3D objects in the 3D world are called Buildings or Constructions. These Buildings have attributes, coming from among others open data from which the calculation models (Overlays and Indicators) calculate results.

  • Click on the City Overlay to see the 3D world. Click on a building in the 3D world and see more information in the hover panel.
  • Next click in the Current Situation tab on the Buildings button.

Buildings button.png

  • Now click on a building in the 3D world. You will see that a blue line is visible around the selected building. In the right panel you will see different tabs with attribute information about this specific building.

Select building in project.png

  • Click on a road, so that it is outlined in blue. Go to the right panel, tab Details and change the Units per hour to a higher value. Note that you are changing the current situation. Now the amount of cars that drive on this road per hour is changed. If Auto update is on, the Traffic noise overlay is automatically updated. Click on this overlay to see the results and then go back to the City Overlay.

Indicators

Indicators are calculation models which calculate results from the information in your project. An indicator is created in an Excel sheet which is uploaded to the project.

  • In the Current situation tab, click on the button Indicators and select the Green indicator. This indicator is now added to the black top bar in the 3D wolrd and to the left menu.
