You that I am a FME fan. So I made a quick FME workbench to import the
building. I am going to make it more generic and I'll use the chart you
prepared (thanks). I'll add my name on the status table for Canvec Import
when I be ready to import buildings. I'll update the chart if it needs to be
adjusted.
