[Talk-us] MassGIS Building Import - process

[nicholas ingalls]

If anyone has a problem relating to this I don't mind fixing it. The way to
do it is simply to download all the data within the bounding box, then use
either the search or the authors dialogue to select all the data uploaded
by that particular user and remove. Then the data can be re-uploaded :)

Cheers,
ingalls
