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

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

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] Birmingham New Street station re-opens

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

Yes, I had meant to mention it. There was a nice presentation at SotM-Fr. Jerry On 24 September 2015 at 19:46, Marc Gemis wrote: > Would a tool like http://github.pavie.info/openlevelup/ be of any help to > visualize the shops ? > > regards > > m > > On Thu, Sep 24, 2015

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,

Jerry - thanks for the post in the 3D forum. Richard (Mann) where do I check to see if a ticket has been raised on the platform rendering? Rgds Brian On 21 September 2015 at 21:16, SK53 wrote: > Hi Brian, > > I've put a couple of messages, one in the UK forum & one here

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

Issues with the rendering are here: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto I couldn't see anything about platforms (except as a side-issue on something else that had been closed), but I didn't search exhaustively. Richard On Wed, Sep 23, 2015 at 8:05 PM, Brian Prangle

Hi Brian, Seems a very sensible request. It may be worth posting this to the forums. Marek who is very active in both 3D buildings & indoor mapping tends to be there and not on mailing lists. There are both 3D building & indoor mapping subfora too, Jerry On 20 September 2015 at 19:54, Brian

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

Well, it's going to be a struggle to get a good result while the default rendering puts layer=-1 platforms on top of layer=0 footways. Has anyone raised a ticket for that? Richard On Mon, Sep 21, 2015 at 12:13 PM, SK53 wrote: > Hi Brian, > > Seems a very sensible request.

Hi everyone I've blogged about this and the complexities involved with this multi-level and multi-purpose building. It would be good if we can plan how to map this sensibly and co-ordinate effort in an agreed way and not just have a free-for-all accretion of
