Some validation tools, like Osmose, make great efforts to maintain a 'false positive' database. Also, I don't think such validation of building orthogonality should take place at editing stage. A hint to the squaring tool or shortcut when someone is mapping almost square buildings is probably a

I agree it's a bad idea inflating the database size and I don't agree that all buildings should be square. Let iD warn about buildings mapped in this session by all means but that does not require all existing buildings to be square. Cheerio John On Thu, 9 May 2019 at 18:02, Jmapb wrote: > On
