Custom load buildings ? #68

Closed iuliangcata closed 10 years ago

iuliangcata commented 10 years ago

Hi there,

I have a simple question, is it possible to obtain data for certain buildings and only represent those with this library (maybe from a file or json/geojson) ? I imagine the way the gps applications do with the most important monuments in the world capitals, but somehow applying the same concept here ...?

Thank you.

Yes, totally possible. Use ´.set(GeoJSON)´ for that. Example: http://osmbuildings.org/examples/GeoJSON.php

Ok, nice, but what does thoose coordinates represent ? Do they represent the building's foundation so to say (2d model) ? And does the library auto generates the height ?

Exactly. If you have more complex objects, you'll need to create more geometries + heights. minHeight also helps you to stack objects. Check bottom most section 'Data' of README for supported GeoJSON properties: https://github.com/kekscom/osmbuildings/blob/master/README.md
