Hi, My colleague Chethan played around with visualizing MS buildings in 3D: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Chetan_Gowda/diary/41705
Webmap here: https://osmlab.github.io/ms-building-import/#15.72/39.2862/-76.6135/-1.2/60 The quality is generally good, but there are spots where small buildings are not orthogonal like these residential areas in Orlando https://osmlab.github.io/ms-building-import/#18.4/28.45983/-81.38851/53/27 https://osmlab.github.io/ms-building-import/#17.36/28.50154/-81.49417/33.8/27 Obviously, this shouldn't be imported wholesale, so I suggest to whoever plans to do import/conflate them should review the quality of each data. > Message: 1 > Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2017 09:37:15 -0700 > From: Clifford Snow <cliff...@snowandsnow.us> > To: talk-us <talk-us@openstreetmap.org> > Subject: [Talk-us] Available Building Footprints > Message-ID: > <CADAoPLrH1jT3_km+FbnCMrpj=LUyPxEULc2MJkkY61=yr+o...@mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > I am happy to announce that Microsoft has made available approximately 9.8 > million building footprints including building heights in key metropolitan > areas.
