Found it in JOSM, you have to select the nodes then split way is available at the top of the tools menu. Thanks all Cheerio John On 30 July 2010 10:29, Richard Weait wrote: > On Fri, Jul 30, 2010 at 10:19 AM, john whelan wrote: >> I'm feeling thick today.  How do I break it into ways? > > Sele

I'm feeling thick today. How do I break it into ways? This isn't my top priority at the moment I'm busy putting names on unnamed streets. Thanks John On 30 July 2010 04:36, Sam Vekemans wrote: > With both halfes of the building polygons loaded into osm, break apart > both polygons into ways, a

With both halfes of the building polygons loaded into osm, break apart both polygons into ways, and remove both of the ways that are in the middle of the polygon, then merge the ways back into a closed polygon, it might require reversing the direction of one of the ways. this retains the geogetry

Well I now know a little more about JOSM and Validator but I still haven't quite worked out how to merge the two parts of the building. Thanks John On 29 July 2010 21:35, Tyler Gunn wrote: > If you draw a selection box over where the two tiles meet and run the > validator in Josm one of the err

If you draw a selection box over where the two tiles meet and run the validator in Josm one of the errors it can report is "duplicate nodes". When you are merging tiles where roads and areas are split between the tiles there is a copy of all nodes on the "border" between the tiles in each file.

Sounds simple but Shift-J doesn't seem to do anything, they don't quite overlap. What is a duplicate node error and how do I fix it? Thanks John > - Select the data all along the boundaries of the tile. > - Use the JOSM Validator on the selection. > - Fix all the duplicate node errors. > - Selec

Hi John, With respect to buildings being split, perhaps it would make sense to regenerate .osm using larger tiles (or even generate .osm for whole provinces?) It's easy enough to split them with osmosis at home if needed. As for hand-drawn vs imported, it's a sensitive topic; there's a danger of

The new Canvec tiles are very good quality wise. However when a building or park is on two tiles it would be nice to combine the two parts so it gets one name etc. Has anyone worked out how to do this in JOSM? I use http://keepright.ipax.at to clean up Ottawa's existing roads and I've spent many
