Basic skills tutorial

The best way for building experience with the Tygron Platform is by actively using it. Especially after a training, staying active in the Tygron Platform is the best option for consolidating what you've learned. To help with this process, this page offers a number of assignments. All of these assignments are part of the topics that were dealt with during the quick start training.

These assignments can be done in the Demo Basics Project. This project is available in all domains.

Starting the project

After logging in with the Tygron Client, you will find yourself in the main menu. Select "Edit Project", and then select the Demo Basics Project. It will begin to load. When the editor has loaded, you will see an interface with a ribbon menu at the top, and the 3D Visualization in the center. If you don't want to save the adjustments you make in these practice assignment, you are now ready to begin. However, if you do want to save all the adjustments you practice with these assignments you need to make a personal copy of the Demo Basics Project.

Save your own practice project:

1. Select "File" in the ribbon.
2. Save As left panel, adjust the name to a self chosen project name.
3. Select "Save".

This new created project can be edited and saved whenever you want. You are now ready to begin these assignments.

Guided Assignments

These assignments will guide you step-by-step through some simple use-cases.

Adjust the project in the editor

These two assignments are linked by a common question that is asked often to the support team. I have drawn a building in the 3D Visualization and now it's gone. How is that possible?

Remove building

Probably the answer is that you try to draw a building from the action menu instead of from the buildings.

Place new building

After completing the following two assignments, the difference is clear between drawing buildings and drawing an action that may be a building, for example.

Adjust Floor height

In this first assignment you will adjust the project. After this practice you can edit your base project in case you need to change the project after loading a new project in the wizard. The assignment consists of three parts.

1. Remove a building in the project to create an empty spot where you can put a new building.
2. Add a new building of the category Education of the Education Luxury type.
3. Edit the new Education Luxury building to a building with 10 floors.
