Hi Thomas, It works for me like this (it's hard to put in words, but here goes)... * Have two separate ways, that you want to join into one way (not for a T-intersection or a crossing) * Select an end node of way1 (selecting end nodes puts you in a mode to extend the way by further clicking) * Hover the mouse over the end node of way2 where you want them to join (way2's nodes will show as bigger blue squares) * Hold the Shift key while clicking on way2's end node * Way2 now becomes part of Way1 I've gotten the "The ways do not share a common point" message before, when I had way1 selected (but not an end node), and shift clicked in between 2 nodes on way2. I was doing this to add more nodes to way2 to smooth curves of a freeway, but you can only do this if way2 is selected, but I had the other side of the freeway selected. Hope that helps, BlueMM ----- Original Message ---- > From: Thomas Schroeder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, 9 October, 2008 11:42:44 PM > Subject: [talk-au] How to merge existing ways with Potlatch? > > Hi, > > I try to merge two existing ways with Potlatch, but it does not work. > I followed the documentation: > ----cite-start--- > To merge two ways into one: > > * Draw your way as normal. > * When you move your mouse over another way, the points light up blue. > * Shift-click the blue point at the start or end of the other way. > * Or: if the ways are already drawn, select one, then hold Shift and > click > the other. > ----cite-end---- > > Selecting one and Shift click the other always results in the > error/message "The ways do not share a common point". > > How do I create a "common point" or merge points? > > tschuess > Thomas > > > -- > Thomas Schroeder > eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > _______________________________________________ > Talk-au mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au Make the switch to the world's best email.
