OSM Building Viewer

Visualize an OSM Building in 3D

Visualize an OSM Building from the live OSM data. To visualize a building tagged with a way, use the URL: https://beakerboy.github.io/OSMBuilding/index.html?id=[id]

If the building is a multipolygon, or a relation, use: https://beakerboy.github.io/OSMBuilding/index.html?type=relation&id=[id]

...replacing [id] with the actual id of the way or relation.

Additional details will be displayed if "&info" is appended to the URL.

Console debug messages can be printed to the screen if "&errorBox" is appended to the url. Helpful since mobile browsers often lack any inspection capability.

Supports:

• Ways with a building tag
• Ways with building parts inside.
• Building relations with way and/or multipolygon parts
• Mulipolygon buildings
• Multipolygon building with multiple open ways which combine to a closed way.
