Re: [HOT] Should Newbies (Me) keep mapping houses and easy features?
Laura, I think you're describing the function of building tools helpful when tracing a row of parallel buildings. Trace one building, select it and leave it selected. Each building thereafter can be traced with 2 clicks and will be parallel to the already selected one. As Julian said, make sure you have nothing selected. Pressing escape I think will deselect.

[HOT] Should Newbies (Me) keep mapping houses and easy features?
Since a lot of work now needs to be done by more experienced mappers, is it still helpful for newbies like me to trace houses and other easy features? Does seeing every building in an area (especially isolated buildings) help with rescue and aid? A lot of these buildings seem really hard to get to, so if they're mapped it would seem that they won't be overlooked, but I wanted to check. Question 2: Should blue and red-roofed buildings be marked, and if so, as buildings? They are aid tents, right? I'm sure I'm like thousands of newbs who are eager, dying, to help but not wanting to waste time on unimportant tasks. Please advise.

Re: [HOT] Should Newbies (Me) keep mapping houses and easy features?
Laura, Blue and red-roofed buildings are not necessarily aid tents. Many buildings have blue roofs, and some red as well, from my experience. So I think there's no need to tag buildings based on roof color. Are you tracing buildings from post-quake imagery, where you would expect to see aid tents? I think the post-quake imagery is only being used for experienced mappers only tasks. The Bing and MapBox imagery was from before the earthquake.
