Hi, I am intrested to find out that if it is possible to get building hight and roof shapes from a wms server such as geoserver and use those data in osmbuildings.Is this even possible? how can I learn more about it? Thank you so much

Hi, You'll probably need a WFS source. Even then, height and roof shape might not be present in the data. Once your data is clarified, its likely a transformation like from GML to GeoJSON. At that point, I can help with further assistance.

Thank you for your answer,I have worked with WFS services but have not try transforming from tham to GeoJSON, the only way is transforming to GEOJSON and then using this javascript liberary?right?

kekscom commented 9 years ago

Any kind of JSON will be consumed and the final internal structure is kind of GeoJSON. That's why a direct conversion to GeoJSON would make a lot of sense. Though it might not be trivial.
