One problems with this mapping project is it is difficult to see how many have been mapped.
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Canada/Building_Canada_2020 So I've been playing. The .OSM data structure does not lend it self easily to this sort of thing. In particular you don't know when you read a line in if you want to count it or not. The critical thing is does the way include building= if it does then we are interested in every tag even those that have been read in previously. I started following Bjenk's footsteps with R but realistically setting up the environment and parsing the file in R isn't that user friendly. So I dropped back to Visual Studio express which is free from Microsoft. I've been working in the IDE environment and I have something that counts ways at the moment. Extending it to nodes is relatively simple once I have the ways working correctly. A very small sample output is below. detached' - 3 t2' - 2 terraced' - 1 addr:housenumber - 6 addr:street - 6 building:levels - 5 addr:postcode - 3 roof:shape - 1 #### I've just spotted that building types have an extra ' in the name. The Comma Separated Values (CSV) were working so they can be fed into a spreadsheet or some sort of stats program and 'Real Soon Now'™ it will be working once more. The input is an .osm file so download and chop it up with OSMconvert64 to give the area you are interested in. I have sample .bat files available that do this. What I need is someone who has use for the information to look it over and give feedback. Please contact me directly not through the group. Many Thanks Cheerio John
