[Talk-us] No Parallel/Resize or Copy/Paste in iD editor?
I'm a long-time user of Potlatch. Every time since the newiD editor was introduced that I have tried to use it, I have hadto give up and go back to Potlatch. At first it was simply way tooslow. It seems to perform better, speed-wise anyway, now. I usedto use JOSM to work on the buildings of apartment complexes, untilJava stopped working on my computer (still a big mystery with no fix).I heard recently that a new Rotate feature was added in iD, so I decidedto give iD yet another try. I see the Rotate tool - nice. However, I don'tsee any way to create parallel features (or Copy and Paste as in JOSM).This would be necessary for my purposes, where most buildings in anapartment complex are identical but oriented differently. I would like tobe able to not only rotate a polygon, but copy and paste and then rotatethe pasted polygon and move it to its correct location. I don't see any wayto do that. Is there a hidden way of doing this, such as hot keys? Be seeing you, David J.

Or are you requesting a exception for railways ? Yes, because a railway went from point A to point B, where you can see it at point A and point B, and the next quesion in any map user's mind is going to be Well how did it get from point A to point B, and is it possible to find any remains in-between? Since the answer will often be yes, it makes sense to leave them in OSM. I don't really understand this concern with deleting dismantled railroads from OSM. It doesn't make the database any smaller, since they'll still be there as a deleted way. In fact it makes the database larger to indicate that the way is deleted. I don't see how OSM is improved by deleting specialized data that isn't even visible on the general map! If you want to clean up the world, go outside with your GPS and pick up some litter. -- --my blog is athttp://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

We don't have a way to create parallel features yet, but there is an open issue for it in github. It's something that a lot of people request and I agree would be a useful tool. Copy and paste does now work with cmd-C / cmd-V, this is a recent addition.

[Talk-us] Mappy Hour!
Hi all, Announcing the bi-weekly OSM US Mappy Hour for tomorrow! The Mappy hour happens on Google Hangouts at this link: http://bit.ly/osm-mappy-hour starting at 5:30pm Pacific / 8:30pm Eastern. Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it tomorrow myself, nor did I have time to line up a presenter / demo. If someone wants to share their OSM related project, mapping endeavors, surveying techniques or anything else OSM related, just do it! Happy mapping -- Martijn van Exel skype: mvexel ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Marc Gemis writes: Sorry, but I'm not trolling. I just want to understand why the railway people should get a different treatment. Because there is a rendering of the data (openrailwaymap.org and the ITO specialist renderings), and because people CARE. If you're argument is to better understand why the landscape is like it is now, then that is also true for razed streets [1] where the road used to come closer to the buildings in the north of it, or razed buildings [2] where the open area in the forest used to be a holiday center. That sounds like an excellent idea! And those streets can be rendered on openrazedstreetmap.org and on openbuildings.org. Trouble is that there isn't really anybody who cares about that. But feel free to add razed streets (I do), and razed buildings. There's a few railway=rail sidings which would make more sense if you could see the buildings they used to serve. -- --my blog is athttp://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
