Hi,<br><br>So, UrbIS has opened all geodata for Brussels. eMerzh and me have been converting this data, so it becomes usable directly in JOSM or Merkaartor.<br><br>The files can be found here:<br><br><a href="http://osm.bmaron.net/urbis/">http://osm.bmaron.net/urbis/</a><br>
<br>For every street I created an associatedStreet relation automatically. In JOSM the easiest way to work with this is to<br><br>Right Mouse Button/Select Members<br><br>Then on the properties<br><br>Right Mouse Button on the relation/Select Relation (Add)<br>
<br>Then Ctrl-c<br><br>Now<br><br>File/New layer<br><br>Ctrl-v<br><br>Then download data from OSM.<br><br>The streets parts (highway=...) still need to be added to the associatedStreet relations.<br><br>The building shapes contain too many points, so some of them need to be cleaned up manually.<br>
<br>Some buildings (in the middle of a street) contain 2 or 3 address nodes with consecutive numbers. These need to be merged, the numbers xx-yy. Then Ctrl-c, Ctrl-Shift-V to apply the tags on the building outline.<br><br>
For the buildings on the street corners, it's probably best to keep the addresses on the nodes.<br><br>When working on a street where buildings were already present, Ctrl-Shift-G is a life saver. First select the shape coming from UrbIS, then select the target building.<br>
<br>If the target building contains nodes which already have tags, or which are part of another relation, these need to be merged with 'm' before transfering the geometry.<br><br>There is still quite a bit of manual work involved, but this also means we get a chance to check what we're doing.<br>
<br><br>Enjoy!<br><br>Jo<br>
