Quick impressions of the new extrude feature: - drawing a L shaped building leaves an extra (redundant) node after extruding the second part (can be fixed with "delete unnecesarry nodes from a way" button) - missing the initial angle a bit is hard to fix without redrawing from scratch (or giving up perfect right angles). Full geometry support would require rotate, resize,drawing rectangles, ellipses...
While testing this feature today i still ran into many complex buildings (eg schools with connected appendixes and city blocks with inner court yards) that were much easier to make an outline by hand than to use the extrude tool. Since the raster image from WMS is usually the basis for outlining buildings it might be better to think in this direction - with a dedicated "building outliner" tool (like lakewalker that i never managed to use so far). User would select some small area on top of the building so that tool determines what color to trace, then detect edges and adjust the nodes slightly so that shape gets right (90 degree) angles. I know, a patch is welcome, but this time you specifically asked for feedback :) Stefan Karl Newman wrote: > On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 12:35 AM, Andy Robinson (blackadder) < > [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> Frederik >> >> I find that I drag a way all too often inadvertently when moving nodes, ie >> I >> accidentally end up selecting the way rather than the node.
