==System Specifications==
==What are Project Sources==
Tygron products utilize gaming technology as their driving force, most notably the 3D visualization. This technology does mean a computer must meet certain requirements to be able to run Tygron products. Your hardware is automatically categorized into the following scores. The total score of your computer is based on the lowest scoring component, and will affect both the default graphical settings and the ability to load in larger project areas.
Project sources are the [[GEO_Data|Geo data]] sets that are used to create the 3D model in the {{software}}.  
Also, all the additional data a user has imported is listed in the project sources table and/or project sources menu.

:''*'' We have found that NVIDIA cards provide the best stability in comparison to Intel and AMD. Therefore, we can strongly advise NVIDIA Geforce GT950 for desktop computers and NVIDIA Geforce GT950M for laptops (or better). We recommend looking for cards in the high-end consumer segment (GeForce), as the {{software}} does not make use of the extreme-precision capabilities of the more expensive Quadro cards.


In addition, your computer must have the following:
The table below contains the datasets that are automatically accessed, depending on the selected location, to create a new 3D project. When selecting a location outside The Netherlands it is more likely that some [[GEO_Data|Geo data]] should be provided manually.

===Virtualization===
==More information on which sources are used==
Virtual environments are currently not supported. The {{software}} creates 3D visuals as part of its basic function. To properly render a 3D environment as performant as possible, the software requires being run on a physical computer. Virtualization software (such as Citrix or VMware) are currently not supported, because the speed of 3D rendering is significantly reduced by virtualization, which abstracts direct access to the GPU, slowing the process of rendering the 3D environment.
For more information on which project sources are actually used for the project, take a look at the following overviews in the editor:
* the hover panel when clicking in the 3D world in the [[City_Overlay|default view]].
* the [[Source_(Overlay)|Source Overlay]]
* the project source table (see below for more information)
* the project sources menu (see below for more information)


==Software Guide==
==Project Sources Table==
In addition to hardware requirements, the following software is also required.
[[File:Project_sources_table.JPG|right|400px]]


===Video card Drivers===
{{Editor steps|title=show the project sources table|Select in the editor Current situation| Hover over 'Geo Import' from the ribbon bar| Select 'Show Project Sources Overview'}}
Please make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your video card from the original manufacturer. Below a list of video card driver download locations:
* [http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/ NVIDIA Drivers]
* [http://support.amd.com/en-us/download AMD ATI Drivers]
* [https://downloadcenter.intel.com/ Intel Drivers]


==Explanation on the hardware==
The project sources table shows the used [[GEO_Data|Geo data]] sets in the 3D model and the by a user imported data.
Because the {{software}} is 3D visualization software, the various requirements list above must all be met. A brief clarification of why each requirement is relevant:
The table shows:
===CPU===
*the name of the dataset
The processor is the general "computing" part of a computer, performing most functions of a computer. General responsiveness of the application and the computer itself are dictated by the processor.
*the type
*the publisher of the dataset
*the number of features in the 3D model (count).
====Note====
If the count is 0, this means the data is not used for generating the 3D model. If the data is a raster dataset, which technically does not contain features, but cells with a value, the value will be 1.


===RAM===
==Project Sources menu==
The memory of a computer is what allows it to actively work with data. The more memory a computer has, the more data it can keep at the ready simultaneously.
[[File:Project_sources.JPG|right|200px]]
{{Editor steps|title=show the project sources menu|Select in the editor Current situation|Hover over 'Geo Import' from the ribbon bar| Select 'Show Project Sources'}}


===GPU===
The project sources menu shows the used [[GEO_Data|Geo data]] sets in the 3D model and the by a user imported data.
Often in the form of a videocard, the graphical processor deals with all visualization matters. This component makes the 3D visualization of the {{software}} possible.
Also, an explanation on what is in the datasets and the possibility to rename/remove a [[WFS]] or [[CSW]] connection can be done here.


===Screen resolution===
The sources are divided in three categories:
The {{software}} is a complex tool, and require sufficient screen space to allow an overview of all options and information panels.
*Catalog Services
:Here are the by default available [[CSW]] connections in the [[Geo_Data_Wizard|Geo Data Wizard]]  visible. Also CSW connections added by a user are listed here.
:When a user adds a CSW connection, the connection can be removed from the list or it is possible to edit the URL, name and other information in the panel on the right.
*Default Sources
*User Sources
*Web Services
:Here are the by default available [[WFS]] connections in the [[Geo_Data_Wizard|Geo Data Wizard]]  visible. Also [[WFS]] connections added by a user are listed here.
:When a user adds a [[WFS]] connection, the connection can be removed from the list or it is possible to edit the URL, name and other information in the panel on the right.


===Internet connection===
===Also see===
The core technology of the {{software}} is cloud-based. Your computer needs to be able to visualize the application and keep data about the project available, but the really heavy lifting in terms of calculations is done in the cloud. This means you need to be connected to the internet, and the better your internet connection the more responsive the application will be when dealing with data updates.

What are Project Sources

Project sources are the Geo data sets that are used to create the 3D model in the Tygron Platform. Also, all the additional data a user has imported is listed in the project sources table and/or project sources menu.

Sources connected to the Tygron Platform

The table below contains the datasets that are automatically accessed, depending on the selected location, to create a new 3D project. When selecting a location outside The Netherlands it is more likely that some Geo data should be provided manually.

More information on which sources are used

For more information on which project sources are actually used for the project, take a look at the following overviews in the editor:

  • the hover panel when clicking in the 3D world in the default view.
  • the Source Overlay
  • the project source table (see below for more information)
  • the project sources menu (see below for more information)

Project Sources Table

Project sources table.JPG
How to show the project sources table:
  1. Select in the editor Current situation
  2. Hover over 'Geo Import' from the ribbon bar
  3. Select 'Show Project Sources Overview'

The project sources table shows the used Geo data sets in the 3D model and the by a user imported data. The table shows:

  • the name of the dataset
  • the type
  • the publisher of the dataset
  • the number of features in the 3D model (count).

Note

If the count is 0, this means the data is not used for generating the 3D model. If the data is a raster dataset, which technically does not contain features, but cells with a value, the value will be 1.

Project Sources menu

Project sources.JPG
How to show the project sources menu:
  1. Select in the editor Current situation
  2. Hover over 'Geo Import' from the ribbon bar
  3. Select 'Show Project Sources'

The project sources menu shows the used Geo data sets in the 3D model and the by a user imported data. Also, an explanation on what is in the datasets and the possibility to rename/remove a WFS or CSW connection can be done here.

The sources are divided in three categories:

  • Catalog Services
Here are the by default available CSW connections in the Geo Data Wizard visible. Also CSW connections added by a user are listed here.
When a user adds a CSW connection, the connection can be removed from the list or it is possible to edit the URL, name and other information in the panel on the right.
  • Default Sources
  • User Sources
  • Web Services
Here are the by default available WFS connections in the Geo Data Wizard visible. Also WFS connections added by a user are listed here.
When a user adds a WFS connection, the connection can be removed from the list or it is possible to edit the URL, name and other information in the panel on the right.
