Thanks, What was the method you used to import the buildings? The method i discribe should NOT be used, as i dont use the many different building ID's available (the wiki chart has the list of what tags each ID Should get). http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CanVec:_Buildings_and_structures 2010009_2.shp includes everything from Train Station Buildings to Educational Buildings.... (48 or so different building ID's) ... the _2 indicates polygon. And yes, CanVec doesnt distinguish between different educational buildings... lumps them all in to the same category.
Also my method does not imort NIDs. Cheers, Sam On 2/20/09, Michel Gilbert <michc...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Sam & all, > > The idea is good to import building entities.
