I've been tracing a lot of gers/yurts in Mongolia recently which are also circular buildings. This is the method I use:
*1.* Shift-A for the Draw Nodes tool. *2.* Draw a line the diameter of the ger. *3.* Shift-O to "Create Circle". *4.* Shift-R to "Copy tags from previous selection" (requires the UTILSPLUGIN2 plug-in) *5.* Shift-(arrow keys) to fine-tune the position. This works better for me than copy-pasting, because the size of the gers varies a lot. Here's what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/A6mZeQr.gifv Here's more about UTILSPLUGIN2: http://learnosm.org/en/editing/more-tools/#utilsplugin2 Tomas On Fri Dec 19 2014 at 1:43:47 AM Leonardo Gutierrez <[email protected]> wrote: > Great tip Thanks Pierre > El dic 16, 2014 11:47 AM, "Pierre Béland" <[email protected]> escribió: > > In JOSM, the building plugin is quite useful to trace rectangular >> buildings, but does not help to trace huts.
