Point based buildings are constructions for which their geometry is interpreted as a single point.

Examples of point based buildings are the following hydraulic structures:

Center point

A method to obtain a point from a geometry is to calculate the geometric center point of a geometry. The method used by Tygron Platform is similar to [1]. See the following examples:

  • Simple square polygon.
  • Simple circular polygon.
  • Road polygon.


The method above is simple, but not robust in all cases. See the following two cases:

  • Case one: Buffered multi-line polygon.
  • Case two: Multi polygon.

In case one, the building's geometry is a complex polygon. Its centroid lies outside its geometry.
In case two, the building's geometry is a multi-polygon. Its centroid is in between the two rectangle polygons.
Generally, these kind of polygons are undesirable for a point-based building.

General advice

  • The point-based buildings should be supplied as simple rectangle or circular polygons.
  • The geometry should consist of only one polygon. In the case of buildings, use only one section.
