Ed, Your traces to and from the A14 should still be valid. The new A14 to M6 links are some way off being completed. http://bit.do/bkYt5 from last week I believe Cheers Andy -Original Message- From: Ed Loach [mailto:edlo...@gmail.com] Sent: 24 September 2015 08:46 To: 'Andy

Re: [Talk-GB] Birmingham New Street station re-opens

Had a look round. The main upper-level (ie Grand Central) footways are mercifully fairly simple, but of course the proliferation of shops on multiple levels is going to be very hard to display. My suggestion would be to focus conventional tagging on the main street / concourse level, with a

Re: [Talk-GB] Birmingham New Street station re-opens

All sounds great to me. So the platforms/lines will be layer-1; the station concourse layer 0; Grand Central mall layer 1; short stay car park layer 2. Problem: there are a couple of retail outlets each side of Southside entrance which should be layer 0 to match the street, but layer -1 to refer

I've put in the internal outlines for the concourse and populated a few units. Thanks for the suggestion Marc I'll take a look. Richard - I now like the bridge idea for layer 1 Grand Central Mall. Should the entrances be rendered? Regards Brian On 24 September 2015 at 19:53, SK53

Re: [Talk-GB] Environment Agency LIDAR datasets OGL licensed now available

That looks really good. Very useful for tracing buildings because there is no angle distortion. You can even pick out the differences between the main block of a building outline and the lower parts such as single storey extensions and garages. One drawback is that vehicles show up but they

I'm not sure that tagging the internal footways as bridges quite reflects what's on the ground so I think we should just tag the layer Rgds Brian On 24 September 2015 at 16:52, Derick Rethans wrote: > On Thu, 24 Sep 2015, Richard Mann wrote: > > > Had a look round. The

Re: [Talk-GB] Birmingham New Street station re-opens

One strategy is to try & map shops at one level as areas; and map shops in remaining areas as nodes; the nodes can be slightly offset so that all are visible. It's a bit of a kludge, but providing the tagging is sensible about using layer & building:level etc, it's not tagging for the renderer,
