I noticed in the wiki for OsmCityBuilder the line:

We are currently only using the specified road network, but in the future we plan to use the building data to add houses to the city.

What work would be required to get this feature functional? This is something we are interested in working on but we're new to the code base.

We noticed that in osm_city_builder.py the line for building the buildings is commented out, and also that this method is a bit out of date (still uses lat and lon instead of LatLon etc).

Couple Qs:

  • Is this the only code that requires changes?
  • Why was it originally commented out in the first place?

@tschmidt64-SC we did play around with extracting building information from OSM but never went in depth with that. I don't recall for sure what the problems were (sorry, long time ago), but IIRC there were some caveats on the different cases of how building data was specified. If I had to suggest a path here I would say try un-commenting that line and get a couple of samples to compare with OSM online tools. Sorry for not being of much help :(.
