[Idea] Implement building height instead of only outlines #28

Open walamana opened 4 years ago

walamana commented 4 years ago

It would be really cool if instead of only generating outlines of OSM buildings it would be cool, if it would generate a block based on the OSM building height (for curiosity and guidance)

orangeadam3 commented 4 years ago

That's an interesting idea but I think that the height tag is not used much at all on OSM except for a few well known buildings.

They actually have detailed building information in my town. Idk if https://osmbuildings.org/ uses the Overpass API, but might be worth checking out

I think that it uses its own datasets and they seem fairly strict on downloads. If you want to see the OSM data my mod can access go to openstreetmap.org and right click>querry features on something. I would think about adding an extra online dataset but the more added the slower evreything will be and the more points of failure the mod will have.
