This section deals with adding Buildings to the project. For adding actions to a Stakeholder see Adding and removing Actions.

When a project is created in the Tygron Platform, Buildings are automatically added by Geo Plugins to initialize the current situation of your project. Buildings can also be added and removed to the current situation of your project by using the editor. To add or remove buildings to an existing project, start an editing session of your project and once loaded, select current situation in the ribbon bar and click on the Buildings button:

Initial Building types to add

In the Editor, there are initially three types of man made buildings available to add: standard buildings, roads and underground.

• Standard Buildings. Standard buildings are generic buildings that are best described as being not recognizable for a specific location. Most standard buildings are specific for one or more regions in the world. Currently, the defined regions are Africa, Asia, North America and Europe. Standard buildings are adjustable: they can be adjusted according to the available space and desired amount of floors. Note that a standard building does not necessarily represent an individual unit. It can represent a group of houses, or multiple warehouses as well.
• Roads. A road is a thoroughfare, route, or way on land between two places, which has been paved or otherwise improved to allow travel by some conveyance, including a horse, cart, or motor vehicle. Roads consist of one, or sometimes two, roadways (British English: carriageways) each with one or more lanes and also any associated sidewalks (British English: pavement) and road verges. In the Tygron Platform, roads range from African dirt roads to high tech Asian Rapid Transit Rails.
• Underground. Underground buildings include metro lines, culverts, tree roots, cellars/ foundations, (dangerous materials) storage containers, parking garages and more.
