Hi Daniel,
I agree with you. I didn't pay attention to the fact that Squamish is
located in a hilly area.
Greetings from Quebec's flatlands,

Hi Daniel,
I had a brief look at project #173, task #20 and found that you can
either align the hospital with the underlying imagery or the houses to
the right of the task, but not both at the same time (Bing and ESRI bear
the same effect). This might have to do with different
hem in some way first.
Thanks John

I would assume in most cases the imported building footprint will be
more precise than existing data. For me, this would be a reason to
replace already existing objects. However, I think this is a case by
case decision. However, I think it is important to keep tags and history
of buildings
Neis’ tool, or the query Tim Elrick just proposed, are what I consider
reasonable attempts for contacting the local mappers.

Hi all,
*a) data hosting*
I can offer to host pre-processed data for the building imports as well.
*b) task manager work units*
I find smaller tasks about 20 minutes each more appealing than 1 hour tasks
*c) checking already existing data*
An added tag would certainly help as you can apply a
After reading the weeklyOSM, I was thrilled to find TagInfo available
for Canada as well. Thanks to Geofabrik!
You will get the tags used in Canada:

Bonjour à tous, surtout à Montréal,
Comme la discussion sur les importations de bâtiments au Canada reprend
de plus belle, je voulais lancer la discussion au niveau local comme une
retombée de la discussion principale sur talk-ca.
J'ai essayé de poster cela sur la liste de Montréal il y a
Thank you, Daniel, for advancing on the import! I agree with most of
what you said below (I will reply to some details on the wiki page).
I also agree to separate the different sources as I have great
reservations about using Microsoft's building footprints for an import

Bonjour Daniel,
C'est une bonne nouvelle ! Pierre et moi avons déjà commencé à en parler
dans des messages privés, et Pierre y a déjà beaucoup réfléchi - en
partie d'un ancien projet, si je comprends bien. Il a également déjà
publié ses approches précédentes sur github il y a quelques jours.
Hi all,
All those new sources are really exciting! Thanks for making us aware of
the data, Keith!
I just checked the NRCan LiDAR building footprints for Montreal [1].
Unfortunately, they seem to have the same flaws as the Microsoft
building footprints. The data quality for Montreal cannot

Alors, une fois que le processus sera mis au point sur FME, ça me fera
plaisir d’en décomposer chaque étape avec vous et de rendre le tout
public. On pourra faire ça hors liste :-)

Bonjour Pierre, Daniel, John et tous,
Je ne doute pas de l'expertise de Daniel. Il n'y a rien de mal à
utiliser des outils propriétaires lors de l'utilisation des données OSM.
Cependant, lors de la création des données OSM, nous devons viser le
processus le plus transparent possible (comme
I sent Daniel a sample of Montreal (Outrement) from the Open Building
Database and Daniel's algorithm performed really well. It could reduce
the vertices count by 13% without loosing or even improving data quality
(as it orthogonalized the buildings). Even difficult buildings were
treated well
I think, Montreal's OSMappers would appreciate to discuss the import of
the buildings there first on the local list. By the way, John, I have
never said I would be taking the lead for the entirety of Québec (at
least, at the moment). However, I feel that the import should be
discussed on the

Hi Steve,
As for Montreal: We will create an import plan on the wiki as soon as we
have expanded the discussion about the Montreal import from our local
face-to-face group to the Montreal OSM list and agreed on importing.
Before we do this, we wanted to test the feasibility of the
Hi everyone,
Thanks John for pointing out the new dataset!
Steve, John just indicated that there is this new dataset available now.
I am confident, that after our discussion on importing building
footprints in Canada, the OSMappers who want to go forward with it, will
provide the information
that the LWG web site
has no mention of it so it is probably still in the queue.
Good Luck

Thanks for pointing me to the license website. The open data of the
City of Montreal is licensed CC-BY 4.0 and the City has explicitly

maybe a problem if the license is challenged.

Hi all,
After following the building import discussion for a while now, I wanted
to chime in as well.
After moving to Montréal from Germany recently, I got more engaged with
the local mappers here in MTL (beforehand, I was more analysing OSM data
scientifically).
I took part in the
d'Orleans shopping center in
Orleans Ontario each unit is mapped in outline with the appropriate tags
added.
If you look at mapping a building with floors I've seen office outlines
before now.
