<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Thanks for your feedback!
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">There are really not that many of this type of buildings in the dataset, most of the buildings are nicely squared or circulized. By the manual verification of the data, we’ll of course compare and
adapt the building data with the latest imagery that we have available on OpenStreetMap – the Maxar Premium Imagery. We’ll correct with help of that imagery and of course in all cases nicely square corners of the weird shapes. There will really not be a ‘soul-crushing
cleanup’ needed after this import. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Would you rather propose to leave these buildings out? We could do that as well, but I would prefer not to, since this means we will have an incomplete dataset in the area. I’d rather choose for
correcting the shapes with help of available imagery. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
